Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for July 01, 2019

Get uniforms to cover all the exits and stay back!

Good morning™ and Happy Canada Day!

Tracy, Sam, and Lizz are doing a celebration dance, courtesy of B-B Eyes and his gang, on the occasion of Canada’s 152nd birthday.

A delightful and harrowing moment.

BB Eyes and company do not know how to properly use their guns

Good morning™, not River Dancers !

Oh Canada, I could drink a case of you. ♪♪♫

Wings Over America as performed by troupe Tracy !

I see Tracy’s legs are double-jointed….

That’s some BAD shootin’, lol

“Dance mo^&*#f)* Dance!”

Dance Tracy Dance!

Look like Irish Step Dancers!

It doesn’t matter what you wear, just as long as you are there. Couldn’t resist.

Cue Martha and the Vandells.

It ain’t no Texas 2-step!!!

Liz wore heels and a skirt to a shoot out?

“Leapin’ Lizards”!!

I had to go all the way back to June 20, which is the last time we saw the MCU on the job (save for the police car rolling by with the windows up so we couldn’t see inside) – but it looks like it was Lee Ebony who was with Tracy and Sam at that time, so today’s colorist may have gotten the legs wrong. I think that’s supposed to be Lee today as well.

TRACY: EVERYONE! KICK OFF YOUR SHOES! BB’s boys seem to hate them for some reason! SAM: Or maybe they got lead magnets in them somehow. TRACY: Yeah! Or that!

That’s an interesting way to put it…

Tracy’s footwork makes me wonder if there is another reason for the yellow colored trench coat

Only 150 years?

Queue David Bowie and Mick Jagger!

SIGH yet ANOTHER wasted one panel day.

Anyone keeping track of how close MY TIMELINE is to the current story? I think i’m pretty close!

Well, summer IS here and the time is right.

Wow! Someone is using a plethora of rare yellow laser pointers!

Now it’s turned into A Chorus Line. Anyone remember when this was a strip about detectives? Pleease make it stop.

with you, Bucky. With you.

Wow. Those guys are TERRIBLE shots.

Alley Oop move over. We’ve gone to Gag-a-Day.

fancy moves on Mr. Tracy’s part

Oooh! “A sudden shower…” and "…cause for dancing in the street!” YUK YUK YUK!

One saving point is that this humor is more lame than our MCU cops, at least so far. Take cover and return suppressive fire! But watch out for hostages! (—Whom we know have been rescued by Punjab….)

The narration quotes it, the action reminds one of it, here’s the song Dancing in the Street (best listen and sway to this song while looking at the panel):
