Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for December 28, 2022

OH YEAH!… they did the scissor dance, no doubt about it… LOL…

JAW DROP

Look out, a prowler! With fuzzy slippers. Wait a minute, that’s no prowler! Kitty sure approves.

Good morning™, everyone!

Blaze saying good night to the kitty, followed by scenes of morning coffee and a clear but subtle way to convey that she slept over

that’s a smiling and happy pussey there… and they’re both contented… LOL…

Unusually tasteful…

Is that Evening coffee, or Morning coffee?

Good morning™, Bed-in buddies !

Romance is in the air. av-09 will nitpick the incessantly recurring coffee theme, as well he should.

I read for adventure

Mike is pushing an agenda

I’m here for chases, schemes, and gore

Not for what happens behind a bedroom door

Do cats know intruders when they see them?

HHeLLOO!!!

This story needs a big shot of adrenaline.

Like the guest on Johnny Carson said “Do you want to pet my pussycat ?”, Johnny said “Move the cat “.

I love the drawing of the cat !

killing her softly with her song perhaps?

Well, I do hope this comes out well! The cat seems to be optimistic. :)

No need to judge

Or to begrudge

Two ladies sitting pretty.

A new romance

So fine the dance

Sweet purring, happy kitty.

Just checking in to say I’m currently hung up with some stuff and may not be much of a presence here for several more days. Catch y’all when I can….

….“later on, we’ll conspire”………..hey ’tis still the season…….

The cat’s name is “Goodnight”? Blaze is saying “goodnight” to the cat? Is this AM coffee? PM coffee? Sooo many questions.

So now we know. They both deserve a happy ending, or two in this case. I, for one am happy for the ladies. Kudos to Curtis and company for being brave enough to tell this story in such a tasteful way.

Wait! Don’t leave me hanging! It it really a good kitty??

Ah ha!

I love this development in their relationship ♡.

I like today’s strip, and the cat does too!

The pussycat is planning something sinister. It is jealous so better watch out Lee :D

BIENSTOCK!!!!!

Okay,just in case anybody had any doubts…

Lee ALREADY was diffferent from Lizz without this,but it’san interesting twist.But cop/ex-convict pairing might attract internal affairs(nosy bunch)

MOVIE QUOTE—“You try playing Willy Loman in front of a bunch of old farts eating meatloaf!!”

Kevin Kline—SOAPDISH—1991

Ooooh happy morning after? :D And what a good kitty-cat!

This part of the story went without saying

We ask merely a man’s worth… not the accident of his condition! —Stan Lee

Oh great.Notta Fallar Chin Chillar will demand a new trial on the grounds of “collusion”.

Don’t laugh.We’re talking about her,not ab out us.

Kids, you might want to switch to another comic for a day or two…

The cost of apartments must be out the wah-zoo, so Blaze and Lee decided to be roommates?

A variation of the odd couple, I won’t try to guess which one is a slob and which one is a neat freak.

Goodnight the cat reminds me, in its name only, of Midnight the Cat from the old radio classic, Smiling Ed McConnell and the Buster Brown Show that I would listen to every Saturday morning (that’s what we did before “Saturday morning cartoons” on TV, younger folk): https://tinyurl.com/mryx6mm4

The two ladies seem to have enjoyed their overnight together, and that’s all that need be said. Discretion and all that, you know….

—Although I do wonder if “pillow talk” turned to questions of art fraud crime….
