Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for March 14, 2010

I’m here and on time!

Darn! We still don’t know the outcome of this scene.

Regarding the Crimestoppers Notebook… what if your kid is the predator?

Happy Daylight Saving Time!

The child in the crimestoppers textbook LOOKS like the predator

Where are margueritem (aka Edie Adams) and Flight Suit?

I always let my kid sleep in the backyard, in hopes a predator might strike.

Large horned owls are eating small dogs in No. California. Could these two things be related????

‘Morning, VistaBill!

Love the little Irishman, Leaky!

TY dear……….Now YOU on the other hand need to be very careful with that avatar you have.

If I remember that commercial correctly

Somebodys gonna want to pick you up and smoke you sometime

Just tell them you would be very hazardous to their health.

Good morning, Edie, er, margueritem and leakysqueaky712. Where’s Flight Suit? I hope one of his Flooooms didn’t misfire!

Top O’ the mornin to ya VistaBill

I hope FlightSuit isnt late again.

How can we be groupies if Flight Suit isn’t here? This is exciting, I’ve never been a groupie before!

margueritem said, “How can we be groupies if Flight Suit isn’t here? This is exciting, I’ve never been a groupie before!”

Me either! I’d hate to see this end just when it’s getting started!

Sorry, sorry; my dad made me sleep in the back yard again, and a predator struck!

Yea! Flight Suit’s here! I can go to bed now.

Your dad’s probably tired of your floooom experiments in the house, Flight Suit!

Well I have destroyed the bathtub and the kitchen sink, but here in the yard there’s the bird bath and the pool…

A grizzled group of groping groupies Wistfully waiting wanting whoopies Flight Suit frames his frolicking Floooms Bursting before us like blossoming blooms.

wndrwrthg, we should make you our historian to poetically perpetuate our thoughts and ramblings.

Immortality, here I come!

I’m back in on my favorite browser, had to turn off almost everything to make this work though. Flightsuit, that’s a much smaller “flooom” than you’ve been doing. Ran out of small nuclear devices and had to use a hand grenade in the strad, I’ll bet.

Maybe we should have Dick shoot the kid without trial or warning, as he LOOKS like a predator. All predators have eyes in front of their face, and this kid sure does, being human. Just shout, “He’s got a gun!!!”

I thought Schwarzenegger got rid of the predator.

I guess Predators don’t strike during the day?

Flight Suit said, about 7 hours ago

Sorry, sorry; my dad made me sleep in the back yard again, and a predator struck!

Was the predator’s name LelandReport?

Who you callin a “groping groupie” WW

I Aint groped NOBODY!!!!

Panel 3: Virgil has taken a hostage! Who is he pointing his gun at while he tells the kid to stuff it? Out of frame, of course. The important things are always out of frame….

Dick is aiming downward even more sharply today. Look out Virgil! He’s going to shoot you in the foot!

Dick might be subconsciously thinking about shooting himself in the foot. Why go on when his arms are too short to reach his butt? Oh, the shame, the shame…. But he isn’t aiming low enough to hit his own foot yet. Maybe tomorrow.

Notice how Dick is gripping his gun, with his thumb positioned right behind the slide. The recoil is going to injure his thumb and the gun is not going to cycle, so he’s only going to get one shot. Whose foot do you want to shoot, Dick? You’re only going to get one chance. I hope you have a band-aid, because your thumb is going to be bleeding.

Howdy Everyone

Been followin this maddness for couple years or more.

leakysqueaky has taken me to task Because her input I did not ask To her I do most humbly apologize Before over my corpse they solemnly eulogize I should have said “groovy groupies” But I must have been slightly loopy As for the absence of her going groping Somewhere someone is fervently hoping.

Welcome Mortimus…hopefully tomorrow (or sometime next week) we find out if the son is dead or just badly hurt…

Kids heading outdoors? That’s a good one!

When Jr Got shot the bullet seems to have made his arms longer.. a few days ago his arms were like a foot long.

And keep your kids indoors.. its easier for the predators to find them online than to actually have to go out looking for them in the neighborhood.

BTW how did the guy in the first panel say “A disturbance in t he crowd Tracy !” when the disturbance hasn’t happened yet?

Did they actually re-use Saturday’s as the bottom row?

Son? Dammit! I didn’t KILL HIM!

“Decades ago, on local Tulsa Broadcast TV stations just before the late news came on, one would hear, “It’s 10:00 PM. Do you know where your children are?”

LOL I can remember my Mom’s reply to that when it was on TV. “Well the Bar doesn’t close till two .. so of course I know where the children are”

Why do I feel the next words out of Jr’s mouth would be “Agggg My Spleeen !!!”

That 10:00 PM message was played on TV every night here in Chicagoland too. I’ll bet the rent that PSA was played just about everywhere, and back then most parents knew where their kids were: In the house, if not already in bed. School next day, and all that.

Tracy has at least broken from the pattern of the last few stories, so far. He has yet to hide in terror and scream while the bad guys do their thing.

Note to Flight Suit… I hope your dad lets you back in the house tonight. I’d hate to see you arrive late two days in a row.

All the girls have to go to bed at ten because they’re supposed to be home by midnight….

Dead as requested. Just like this strip.

DT still has good aim.. even if he does have the arm of a 2 year old
