Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for July 29, 2024

Oy Vey! What an anti climatic ending.

Sigh. So disappointing.

and that’s IT?!?…

what a fuqqin’ burn…

they ain’t kidding with the ‘no action’…

Today is hip replacement day. 12:45 pm, est.

Prayers for a successful, non complicated surgery is appreciated.

in the second panel, Dick has the look of irritation at hearing all the whining and doesn’t want to put up with anyone’s schitt at the moment…

and where is that puss, Ball-less Bordo?…

I learn so much reading comics. Today the word " Virago" – a loud overbearing woman : termagant. 2. : a woman of great stature, strength, and courage. viraginous.

Ha! Tracy doesn’t know what Virago means so he told him to shut it.

Psst – What does Virago mean?

Finally the “Darbies” (handcuffs) are placed on the fat guy. I wonder how many sets of cuffs Sam had to use – two minimum, three sets maybe. The action was over too quick. What happened to Mr. Borden?

Well, are all 3 of them under arrest? I’m not so sure that Bordy will be in much hot water except possibly with the misses if he has one. Apparently he shot the gun but didn’t hit anyone. The lovely hat lady brought the gun and held it against big boy but she didn’t fire it. Being a floozie and playing around isn’t “arrest worthy.” Gabe is the blackmailer and he assaulted Mizz Duivel. They could charge him with attempted murder I suppose. I’m just assuming they’re all under arrest until Tracy and company figure out who done what…

Borden was so meek, Tracy thought he was a bystander and told him to go home and stop interfering with police business.

Good morning™, all!

Accusations all around, but how many will stick? Tracy doesn’t really know many of the details of what was going on, does he?

Good advice

Silence is golden!

You know a story’s a loser when not even Tracy wants to hear any more dialogue from the suspects.

Today’s comic is being brought to you by Dick Tracy Brand Ear Plugs.

Whaaat? That’s it? Fatso is give up without fight? BOOOOO!

Goodby Eric Costello!!!!

If this story wins an award, Eric Costello’s acceptance speech will take three days.

Looks like Borden was free to go. Well, he is the owner of the local baseball team, and he provides luxury box seats for city officials, including the police.

Prayers your way- hope all goes well

“We’re going to run you all to Headquarters and sort this out here. Oh, and we MAY have leaked this to Wendy….”

I was watching one of those police videos on you tube yesterday and the woman being arrested was screaming that she was non-verbal and so couldn’t be arrested or questioned.

Virago? It’s lucky he missed her gangster sister from Chicago…..

Both arrested without incident, eh? Why couldn’t we see a little bit of a fight or at least some resistence to the cops? Why must we always be told instead of shown? It is quite a conundrum: An action strip with hardly any action.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

MOVIE QUOTE“His craving to devour ants,flies and other living things to obtain their blood puzzles scientists”

Scientist—-DRACULA—1931

Okay—3 suspects—3 completely different stories—it’s all somebody else’s fault,I’m innocent!!

I’m glad I’m not a cop

Please, please consider using it.

Best wishes for a successful surgery and recovery. When you’re well and your doctor approves it, consider donating blood. Many life saving surgeries and emergency situations (like Flight for Life) required blood transfusions. (Retired hospital healthcare, spouse of an OR nurse and blood donor for 30+ years).

Jeeze-Louise. D.T., don’t encourage ‘em to zip their lips, I was enjoying their babble, burble, bick-bick-bicker! Balderdash! Bruuuuha-HA! BALLYHOO!!…..it’s only talk……..

Last panel Duck Tracy looking at his best………two panels of great art! End of story??

In other words: “Shut up!!!”

WOW! What a dud of a finish. What made me think that Gutman would put up a fight? Eric fooled me again. Is he going to leave Cherry and Sarah in the wind? Probably…

So disappointed there was no explosion of molten lead turning both of them into statues.

Someone posted that CK indicates another week or so of this saga. Maybe, just maybe some of this mish-mash will then be explained. On the other hand, maybe it’s over. We lose either way. Go back to graphics Mr. Costello, pleeeze

1- SUPER TRAMP: LEMME AT ‘IM! I’LL MOIDERIZE ‘IM! YOU’RE LUCKY THE COPS SAVED YOU, TUBBY!!! I HAD YOU ON THE ROPES! MR. TWOBYFOUR: Yes. Quite. My hand on your throat was in danger cramping. eye roll

2- DT: I hate family squabbles! Why can’t you all work this out in a reasonable manner? SUPER TRAMP: WE’RE NOT RELATED! DT: Really? My keen sense of perception indicated a family resemblance. OH! I’m confusing Tubby’s mustache and goatee with your lack of “personal” grooming, madam.

SUPER TRAMP: YOU RELEASED THE PHOTOS OF ME AND BORDEN??? YOU FAT BASTERD! MR. TWOBYFOUR: Important decisions are made on the basis of the information I provide, madam!

SAM: That’s true. I decided to buy two issues of Tubby’s Town Topix in case I wore one out while rubbing one out! MR. TWOBYFOUR: EXACTLY MY GOOD FELLOW!

In prayer!!!

And in his cell, Netsen Rester consults his wristwatch…

They better do it.

I think it should be “…profer charges…”

I’ll say an atheist prayer for you Avenger09.
