Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for December 09, 2024

“Roche and I often disagreed. Disagreed.”

Arrest them for “impersonating criminals”.

I can’t wait until 2027 when they rerun this MM for a 3rd time!

Good morning™, everyone!

Everyone liked the victim — well, maybe not Dr. Hall.

Good morning™, Grilled Coworkers !

They are taking Tracy’s “20 questions” with great aplomb and composure. As questioning continues Tracy knows that flop sweat will reveal the killer.

Groucho, Larry, and Huntz?

My Guess it was Flat-Top.

Who roached Roche?!

Yesterday Flattop was Dr. Mabuse. Today he is Dr. Marx. So which is it?

TRACY: Ahhh. Well, Mr. Stunned, would tt be of the Peopria Stunneds? The ones who made their filthy lucre from selling illicit CRIB SHEETS to innocent college men?!!! HMM?? WOULD IT BE? HUH?

MOVIE QUOTE

“Man is God now. In fact,he always was!”

Th e art is pretty good today, but anybody who saw the 1940’s version knows Pruneface’s head is the wrong shape.Meanwhile,somebody who looks like Tiger Lilly walks in and they eject him as unworthy of mention

1- FLATTOP: I DIDN’T…

2- PRUNEFACE: …DO IT!

3- DOUBLE UP: Well Tracy – looks like ya got me. WAIT! What did Blackjack say? DT: That he didn’t do it. DOUBLE UP: DARN! OK. I confess then.

Dr Mabuse is now Dr Marx?

“Calling Dr, Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard……..”

The butler did it
