Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 10, 2024

“Then have those geeks explain how these fit on your thumbs.”

Good morning™, everyone!

Mr. Pierce’s confidential files being sent to forensics seems like good police procedure.

This strip is now also available over at the CK comic site.

Good morning™, Pending Discoveries !

What secrets will those drives yield ?

Why, I can make a hat or a brooch or a pterodactyl.

“We can’t make anything, that’s the mechanical department. Union labor rules. But, we can stick them up our noses and stuff.”

The team will examine the thumbs, and pull out some plum information?

What does the average guy have on a thumb drive he keeps in a locked box in a locked desk so his wife can’t see it?

“This? Well, I can make a hat….or a brooch…or a pterodact…..”

Sam Catchem’s on the job .

MOVIE QUOTE—-

“You’ve heard of people getting killed in planes,trains,and autos. But did you ever hear of anyone getting killed in a coffin?”

George Burns—-HONOLULU—1939

Time for CSI: The City.

The men are back!!

The big lesson here is don’t use the internet at all, cuz anything can come back to haunt you

So… thumb drives need to go to forensics but laptops go to Lee.

“Nah, pawn shop won’t give me diddly for this…err…not reeeelly…as such. Er…Sooo, how ’bout those METS, Tracy?”

1-DT: Find anything of interest when you searched Piercer’s office. SAM: Yeah – this box of chocolates none of which have jelly centers! YUM! Oh, and…

2-…The M.E. found these flash drives stuffed in Piercer’s lower colon.

3-DT: PEE YOO! Lemme put this hanky over my nose before you pull those out. SAM: Oh, they don’t smell so bad. I checked them before I ate the chocolates. DT: Lemme guess – without washing your hands in between.

SAM: Huh? Why would I… DT: Never mind. Just, uh, practicing my detecting skills eyeroll SAM: You ARE the best, Boss! Oh. Nothing special on the flash drives – just the usual sh*t. DT: Yeah. I bet.

That is the best I have seen Tracy look……..

The funny thing is, these are THUMB drives, yet we found FINGERprints on them. What do you make of that?

Will whatever pushed Pierce over the edge be found on these thumb drives?
