Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for October 15, 2024

Tracy pis-sed and/or constipated in panel three…

Cowardly ambush that will be “overturned”.

Good morning™, everyone!

At least he’s a polite killer.

Good morning™, Killer Ladies !

Sure looks womaney to me. Tracy’s Metamucil scrip ran out; poor guy. Is there a street light directly over the access hole ?

Why is The Shadow holding Tracy at gunpoint?

Tracy will have to trash that coat, or have a really good dry cleaner.

Crimestoppers Textbook: Rookies! Never chase a gunman down a manhole into a sewer without backup & looking both ways before stepping off the ladder!

Well that went down the drain but fast. Tracy really needs to call for backup before plunging into the darkness. But. He does look like he has that sinking feeling.

He got the drop on you, Tracy, you must be slipping!

I have an outfit like that.

Is that you, Lamont?

Dick found a tird in the sewer .

Lucky thing for our bad guy that Dick experienced a moment of unprofessionalism there as well.

And the killer is… Morgan & Morgan, attorneys at law, wiping out the competition. If you’ve been injured falling into the sewer, call Morgan & Morgan!

In p2, that gun is wider than Dick’s head!

Why wouldn’t mystery killer just pull the trigger instead of telling Tracy to drop it?

P1: Which way did he go? Which way did he go? P3: DOHHHH!

WAIT! Someone in the news wears an overly long red neck appendage. Could it be…?

CARMEN SAN DIEGO! NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

…they’re up to their knees in it………you get the “drift”……..

MOVIE QUOTE—-

“How did you ever meet up with a guy like “The Butcher”?

Casey Adams to Marian Carr—THE INDeStrUCTIBLE MAN—1956

Lucky for Tracy the crook is going to monologue before shooting him.

Lamont Cranston turned evil???

So wait – are there two assailants? Panel 2 it’s a gun to the back of the head. Panel 3 the person shown has either decided to give up the advantage and quickly change position, or there is a third person holding the gun in panel 2.

it’s The Shadow!!!! hahahaha!

Is that THE SHADOW?

The Shadow knows!

I don’t remember well—was it some big guy with a name like Yeti who used to hang around in sewers? Something about poison and spiders?

Perhaps @Harry Lime can enlighten us. . .
