Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 09, 2014

I think Mr. Clark will be the sorry one!

Good morning guys!I can see murder in Angus’ eyes!

This looks like the typical opening scene of most Columbo episodes. The would-be victim directly menacing theor prospective murderer. Clark should say those things to the District Attorney, not to Angus!

Why does Angus have a headlight on his phone?

Next he’ll be covering up for his own murder!

To respond to some comments made and questions asked yesterday:,In the county in which Tracy’s City is located, the county legislative body is called the Board of Commissioners. The commissioner in this case is a member of that board..The elected county official in charge of criminal prosecutions is called the “State’s Attorney,” the equivalent of what is called the “District Attorney” in other jurisdictions..The official title of a detective in the Sheriff’s Office is “Investigator.”

You see, Investigator Samuel L Jackson is covering up for Nightmare too. The horse and Angus are equal crime partners. If he gets caught and convicted, it’s the glue factory for Nightmare.

wow

Jeff Clark doesn’t look like a nice guy. He looks tough. I don’t think it’s wise to get on his bad side. If Angus kills him, it will just be strong evidence that Angus is guilty. I don’t think that would be a good course of action, but I’m sure he’ll act before he thinks.

Angus is weird, smoking that pipe from his nose!

“Mary, we seem to have another trampling victim.. can you please call facililties and have Mr’ Clark’s remains removed? Thank you! Oh, and Mary.. NOBODY hears about this.. understand?” “Y-yes Mr Angus… anything you say Mr Angus… right away Mr Angus!”

“I mean, seriously, you had a woman killed by Nightmare for bringing eleven items to the ‘ten items or less’’ register!”.“It wasn’t just that, she also cut in line ahead of me!”

I think another one will bite the dust soon

Later that night, Clark is walking down the street. Inside a dark alley is Nightmare, in a trenchcoat and fedora…The following morning, Tracy and Sam are looking at Clark’s remains, covered in the marks of horseshoes.“Looks like a random street crime, Sam. His watch and wallet are missing.”“What about those marks?”“Nothing important. He obviously was the loser in a pro-am horseshoe tournament.”

So, Samuel L. Jackson joins the cast!

“I am #$%^ of these #$%^ horses in this #$5^ comic strip!”

It’s a safe bet to say that between the two of them (Samuel L. Jackson and Nightmare), Nightmare is less likely to turn State’s Evidence against Angus. Adios, Mr. Jackson!

Panel Four: Closet door bursts open, Nightmare lunges out and stomps Clark to the floor.

This is why I can’t write serious comics.

“So tell me Angus.. did Nightmare trample Kolossal to death or didnt he?” “Naaaaaaayyyy!”

“May the horse be with you?”

Is Nick Fury gonna ask him “What’s in Your Wallet”?

Yes, it does…. thanks for the memories. Had that been StillDaMatt in the photo, he’d be behind the goat.____________________________

I have to ask: do you have a huge file of these things, waiting a special occassion, or do you search through Google for something new each day?I admire your dedication to your art.

I’m surprised Clark has lasted this long working for Angus if he is really as foolish as this! RIP, Mr Clark (found in a horse barn, trampled to death; “he must have been a horse thief.”)

Jeff Clark seems like a nice fellow…

I don’t envy either one of them, but looks like it’s two (Angus and Nightmare) against one (Clark) so, see ya Clark!

Clark is unlikely to go to the police about Angus as he is an accomplice to murder himself. He might turn state’s evidence but his career would be over.
