Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 20, 2020

Plush digs. ✨

Good morning™, well-wishers!

She’s not a particularly pleasant hostess, but I suppose this visit could have been worse.

Good morning™, disappointed damsels !

Panel two shows a crestfallen, with bitterness, not so Fortuna-te lady who no doubt is already working up a new scheme to get to B.O.

(I know I got the commas right on this one ! LOL )

Dick just got dissed

He’s got to be pissed

I definitely have missed

Ahhhhhh, forgetaboutit!

Story’s too boring to inspire.

Next!!!

Brrrr. A big temperature drop there.

Why do I get the feeling that Dick gave “Breathless” some ammo?

The hostess with the least est

Oh, that’s stone cold—she just gave Tracy the Cousin Vinny treatment: “I got no more use for this guy!”

Ok if the Siam Hotel is so expensive Daddy Warbucks can’t even afford to stay there how can she?

“Now I must enter my secret lair and give instructions to my assassins . . . after I electrocute Number Nine.”

Tracy is a grandpa. Yet he doesn’t look like one.

B.O. was not married and Sparkle had not yet been born when Breathless knew B.O. I don’t see what Tracy’s family relations to B.O. have to do with anything.

1-DT: Well, I guess I’ll be moseying along now. FORTUNE: Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.

2-DT: Ummm, where is the door? Gimme a hint.

3-FORTUNE: You sure didn’t pick up on any of the ones I was dropping earlier so I’ll just show you.

*DT: Hey! That open door could be interpreted as an invitation to ESS – EEE – EXX. But Chief Detective Tracy, that’s me, has pegged you as being as pure as the Ivory Soap girl so I know better.

FORTUNE: Yeah, right. Send up the bellhop when you see him. DT: Leaving? So soon? I mean, I knew you were. I’m Chief Det… FORTUNE: SHADDAP!

That was…abrupt.

Junior and Sparkle have three children? Is that counting Honeymoon, and who are the others?

That seemed a quite short and dry biography for a character that is mentioned a lot in this strip. I thougth there was something between Tracy and Breathless.

I was hoping to see Dick and the blonde bomb shell behaving inappropriatlely, but I guess that’s not gonna happen.

At her most innocent, Fortuna Dyer is a vampire. She has sucked all the “useful information” she can out of Tracy, and now spits him out.

“Go! Shoo! I think I’ve got all I can get from you!”
