Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 16, 2024

Ohh, ominous feet!

Story over! Or not?

Good for B O. Basically telling Tracy to mind his own business.

Good morning™, all!

I wonder if we will ever see the “Hatmobile” again. Tracy seems to suggest that we will.

“I have felt the sting of betrayal. ’Tis a pain beyond measure!”

Who said it?

A cloud of dust, with the speed of light, Hi,Ho, B.O.!

Tracy was getting his bell rung and his clock cleaned in B.O.’s front yard. What does B.O. do? Get his hat mobile. It might not be social media, but Tracy should just unfriend B.O.

Good morning™, Night Drivers !

B.O. looks great in P.2. and I love the stern look on P. 1. Tracy. :-)  Will the rest of the week be in rounding up the other two and then a Sunday celebration at the shop with a one panel intro to the next hare raising tale ?

What is so compelling about this car that Tracy must come back and see it? Can’t he wait until daylight? The gadgets will still be in it. Surely, he is not jealous because Junior got the opportunity to ride. Nah, Tracy can’t be that petty.

Theory, Tracy is going to point out that the “Hatmobile” is not street leggal.

Not exactly sure why B.O, is driving off … aren’t they already at Sunny Dell Acres? & didn’t Tracy already say he wasn’t that interested in the “Hatmoble,” that he had already ridden in the “real thing”? 1 & 1/2 stars today.

If b.o. HADN’T picked up those “hitch hikers” then tracy would never have apprehended her, but…yeah, thanks for that little #1970’SREMINDER mike, even tho they WEREN’T hitch hiking and Bob Oscar just rolled up and offered them a ride…funny how even the “writer” of the story cant even keep the whole thing straight

Tracy says he will be “delivering Croptop” so he of let Dave and Broadside go free. They were obviously innocent bystanders. Plus Tracy had created a wanted poster of only Croptop for the bank robbery.

I’ve always thought, “Why aren’t more comics presented from the shoe’s perspective?”

When I was a teenager, I hitchhiked, and I was obviously the one at greater risk, getting into a car with any stranger. I used to say, “If I wanted to rob somebody, there are much easier ways to do it than walking backwards on the road in the cold for a half hour with my thumb in the air.”

not Bracy? Not Macy? And where was Chick Tracy III?

Excitement’s over .

Several days ago, she had her two accomplices – so polite of them not to get involved in the fight or run off with the money. Did they volunteer to go to jail, too?

Hitching rides from strangers can be dangerous.

“It may have been…stolen.”

In retrospect, putting the label ‘If found, return to stately Wayne Manor’ on the chassis may not have been the best move…

I dunno’. With him diving, I have Jan &Den’s Deadman’s Curve playing in my head. Perhaps it wont make it to Impound.

The question IS, will anyone give B.O. a lift? Perhaps a Crimestopper’s Tip there; ? ‘Never give a scruffy yokel a ride!’

I am really enjoying the art this week, particularly the fight. Classic, but with a little “extra”

As her accomplices fade into the night…

Tracy should arrest BO for being an accomplice and confiscate the Hatmobile!

1-DT: Thanks for the help – picking up my hat for me you useless hillbilly!

2-BO: Glad to help, Macy. Well – gotta go!

3-DT: But…you’re already home. Idiot… BO: LOOK BEHIND YOU, BRACY! CLEANCUT & BOWLING LEAGUE: Yeah Bracy – did you forget about us? Heh heh

DT: Uh oh. Maybe…

Okay, I know the other two were on the sidelines, but where are they now? We only saw Tracy pujt Croptop on the car. Are they hiding in the trunk of the “Hatmobile?”

Except for the great art…the story arc stinks as bad as B.O. !

i’ve only picked up one hitchhiker in my entire life — it was back around 1979-80 — her name was Aileen Wuornos

Looks like our ADD Author forgot a couple characters

I’ll point out that BO didn’t pick up any hitchhikers. Just their “luggage”.

What happened to croptops two thugs??

Now this is where the case of money mysteriously becomes empty, thanks to Fata Morgana.
