Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for November 15, 2014

A. A., eh!

This IS supposed to be the actress fro Gruesome’s play, is it not?

Agate Aggie? Whats the history on this one? Can’t find anything on her with Google. Btw Aggie is a short for Agate. She’s effectively named Agate Agate.

Aggie is a marble, which we used to play marble games, They used to be made out of Agate, there fore were calledd slang Aggie or marble. or something like that. Mostly made out of glass nowanyone for snaps or shoves, ( remember)

If the Stone Sisters run from Agate Aggie through Gravel Gertie, and probably beyond, they must be quite a tribe! I suppose Agate Aggie “A.A.” Stone would be the eldest, and well suited to playing one of the sisters in “Arsenic and Old Lace.” Christopher Gruesome’s interest in A.A.‘s quoted praise now slowly begins to tie in, and once more the Plenty’s have a pivotal part to play….

Seems we have a pause here (?) - to inform of an upcoming story-line in the near future . . .

Actually, this brings back MEMORIES of Perfume Plenty - introduced 1976 as Gertie’s niece, yet (somehow, oddly ?) having the B.O. family name of Plenty (?) (A little ‘Aging’ Creeping in ?)

Hazy blond haired Perfume was a beauty, she’d been a former Hollywood Starlet and Model, and came to stay (originally) at Sunny Dell Acres, dominating most of Gould’s latter story-lines from Sept 1976 through Dec.1977Likely best remembered for her story with Governor Otis, both kidnapped, then trapped on a Ferris wheel during a Winter storm. Where the Governer would fall to his death

I’m going to anticipate that this sister in like fashion, with turn out to be younger, and something of a BEAUTY !.But I’d also imagine she won’t come adorned with the name Plenty ! (?) ;- )

Hello guys!

I’m late… cold here! I love the (almost) daily surprises we are seeing here… in the DT strip and the comments, as well!

Morning, Tracyville!Agate Aggie Stone? This story has as many characters as that last one. No complaint, just a comment.

Oye Vey!

Good morning davif42 and VistaBill. Cold here also temp is 29 with a wind chill of 20. Y’all have a bl weekend.

Oops, blessed weekend.

No one mentioned today’s cameo appearance by Chick Tracy.

Bye the way, me thinks 47, 62, 43,40 & 40 are pretty telling numbers!

Greetings fellow Tracy fans. Been awhile since I left a comment. The writers have been all over the place lateley with Gruesome, the Blackhearts, Barney Google and now this development. I wonder how it’ll all tie in? And were you guys satisfied with how the b Annie storyline ended? They spent 4-5 months on it and I thought it could have ended better. What do you think?

With Gertie’s sister in the cast, we’ve got a good reason for Tracy to get tickets for opening night. And then let the fun begin:A killer in the cast.A cop in the crowd.And a corpse in the making.“Charge!”

FURTHER . . . on Gertie’s niece Perfume Plenty . . .

Forgot to mention that in the same time period a junior villain DADE PLENTY - (purse snatcher/dress designer) would appear. (Both - still alive today).He was identified as a COUSIN of Perfume’s - and so, apparently is not related to B.O’s family directly.

If I can slip into ‘Speculation’ (or ‘supposing’) MODE (like others ;-) To paint a rosier picture . . . I might suggest that possibly Gertie’s sister, Agate Aggie -might well have a married name, say - PLENTY . . . and ‘Low and Behold’ she’ll be the mother of Dade or Perfume ?

But often - those “Let me Help you UP” perceptions, are little more - than groundless conjecture !? ;- )

In the meantime, with so much ALREADY on the PLATE - And Waiting to be Resolved, you’ve got to be OPTIMISTIC that a meeting will occur before early 2016 ?

EXAMPLE : On Dec. 30, 2011, Mike with his usual kindness - dropped a TIP . . .He said then . . . “Way down the road we’d like to do a story with all the Plenty Brothers”

Now that could be a real ‘CORKER’ *!

I’d LOVE to see it ! Maybe including Morin and by now new bride - Carduey. his Former sister in law ? But that was some THREE years ago . . .How, you going to MEASURE - “way down the road” ?

Ideas … Ideas. But as Gweedo noted, there’s a need for that 4th panel !

I Love the comments and surprises…does anybody really know what’s happening? these are daily cliff-hangers..they keep us all coming back for more..like a Gouldish addiction.

That woman’s mailbox contains more plot contrivances than your average soap opera.

Bob Oscar “B. O.” Plenty’s Folly.

For those wondering about the cold weather, you will find the answer is a massive Omega Block in the weather over Alaska caused in part by Typhoon Nuri. Because of this the weather over the US is now locked into a holding pattern looking something like this:CLICK TO FIND OUT MORE
