Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 29, 2020

Good morning™, arresting officers!

Thankfully, Sam came through with only minor ill effects. Shaky is not about to confess to anything, but I really don’t believe his side of the story. Nice strip layout today with a variety of angles and points of view.

Shaky is very lucky he didn’t cut his fist on Tracys very sharp looking right angle jaw.

Good morning™, clipped but back in control officers !

2nd panel shows shaky having been cured of the shakes. Could this popped-by-cop treatment work for hiccups too ?

Last time he shot at Tracy and got off on bail. This was just a bar room brawl, so bail will be less…

What no Miranda Act read?

Who is Dyer?

Glad to see that Sam was not not seriously harmed by Oklahoma!

This is the Tracy, the good cop, we have come to know and love. —The strong right arm of the Law….

No shaking! Maybe he’s cured!!! LOL j/k

resisting arrest, flight to avoid prosecution, refusing the lawful order of a police officer. 2 cases of assault, carrying a concealed weapon, carrying a firearm without a permit and burglary. Even if Dyer lied he added a whole truck load of charges and there’s no way he’ll get bail a 2nd time.

Aw, Shakey’s tie is crooked. I guess he lives in a crooked house, with a crooked cat.

Where’s his pretty girl friend?

What about the buckle?!?

I’m ready for a truly scary new villian……

ka-slammer

Tracy hit him so hard he stopped shaking.

Here’s a thought… what if SHaky ISNT lying and Fortuna… being a “method actress” decided instead to give HERSELF the shiner to make the ploy look real.

We’ve seen her say to Lizz that she would like to thank Tracy in person for “saving her”/// so what if it is all a game that she is playiing to get to Tracy?

There were no witnesses in the room at the time, and Fortuna said that she had been yelling at Shaky.. so maybe.. juuuuust maybe he is telling the truth and NEVER hit her?

Tho why he would offer “Dyer is lying about me” in todays offering would be rather odd if he HADNT hit her

He violated the law while out on bail….that is a nono… At least it used to be.

Wasn’t B.O. Plenty originally involved in this story line? What happened to that angle?

anything is better than becoming a popicle under a pier to be found by greedy wives and stepdaughters.

1-SAM: Hmmm. He’s not shaking. I think you killed him Tracy. DT: Yeah. He’d a been better off if I’d a shot him. The Tracy Right Cross has done in more…hey. He’s moving…

2-JAY: I was just resting between rounds. Your cheap sucker punch never even mussed my hair. HEY! WHAT’RE YOU DOIN? I NEVER THREW IN THE TOWEL!

3-DT: You threw in the towel a long time ago, Bogart. The day you stopped being a responsible citizen. DUN, DUN DUN DUNNN!

JAY: Ugh. Who writes your material, Tracy.

DT: Book ’im Danno! DUN, DUN DUN DUNNNN!

JAY: Just take me in already! Please! DT: If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime! DUN, DUN…

SAM: Come on Dick. I think maybe you got hit harder than we thought…

DT: Who loves ya, baby.

Shouldn’t Shakys punch mark from Tracy be on the other side of his face, on his left side?

Shaky’s going back to jail & we’re going back to our originally scheduled story
