Dear Mr. roaringrockets: Cool Your Jets!Have you never read a book, nor seen a movie, where the protagonist is going about his daily affairs, unaware of trouble brewing in the background? That seems to be what’s happening here. You’ve only seen the first 5 minutes of the movie, or read the first few pages of the book. Give it time to develop, and you might enjoy the story.
It’s all a quandary of your own making . . . by living in ‘exaggeration’ mode you’ve become the Calamity Jane of this Board !
It’s helped to create those limp visuals (your word) -and it may even raise a question concerning your *’*posting name*’* (?)
It’s a predictable result - - coming from an every-day habit of *’*looking down*’* on current things Dick Tracy !
As you’ve concede it’s really a shame that all you see is nothing more than a “time killing filler”. (?)And discouraging, as there’s paltry down in that area - to give you the happy ‘POPEYE’ experience ! (?)
In many a way Chet Gould’s -unique 1977 Villain should remain as a constant ’ reminder, ’ if you look for - ZeroALL you’ll find and SEE, is - Naught !
How many foes did Dick Tracy kill? Let me count he bodies…He avenged Tess’ fater terminating vile CrutchHe killed Supeena with the aid of a tracer bulletWas tricked in killing Doolb when he tried to evadeHe marked 88 Keyes with a deadly XThe Brow he pushed to his death with an inkwell pitchStill starving he cut down Itchy’s death itchHe pushed a ladder making Shoulders shoot himselfTV Wiggles he buried under steelAnd he toppled Empty’s rotten treeMr Crime’s career he did end, the rat!And Spots did he kill in asecond’s flatBut who’s counting?When Intro saw in his bluffHe lasered him and his base in a single snuff
Still,.Re your comment below:.“It’s a shame that this current storyline which started out so promising and full of witty dialogue and sinister innuendos has gone so limp! Absolutely nothing of importance has happened in over a week! ".Without giving anything away, what’s been happening the last week has important foreshadowings about what is to come..JIM
Whenever Jupiter’s third moon is in perfect alignment with Saturn’s fifth moon, and it falls on the 32nd day of the Burmese’ tenth month, then I agree with you. Has nothing to do with liking you. Isn’t it getting time to wind your watch again?
stilldamatt, I like your mom. She’s my kinda gal! Calls it like it is! I bet she was the first one who told you that if you kept shaking that watch, you’d go blind!

That’s quite the understatement indeed, Dick.

It’s almost like she was trying to get revenge for something. Dick Tracy never did anything to her personally, did he?

C’mon guys, you have to have a buildup… I’m thinking that perhaps Wendy will be caught in the middle of the assassination plot.

But Tracy didn’t kill Flattop…Flattop drowned trying to escape…in a very clumsy manner. Mumbles was right; Flattop wasn’t that smart
Tracy did not kill Flattop Jr…Lizz did.
And Tracy did not kill Angeltop…she killed herself to avoid being caught
But ry yo tell that to Stiletta…
