Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for March 17, 2015

YES!!!

WAY TO GO KANDI!

Sprocket’s worst fear has come true! Kandi actually managed to interrupt their teamwork in fighting off Tracy while Sprocket was trying to unjam the airhorn gun again.

I noticed yesterday that there was a brick wall beside that doorway where she was. Maybe she found a loose brick. I wonder how much damage a brick would do.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Kandi picked up a piece of the ol’ blarney stone and ‘thunked’ Silver with it! Sleep well, Silver!

Earlier I predicted Kandikane would reach a breaking point and explode, with the majority of her rage being directed toward Sprocket.

Now that Silver is down, I can see this becoming a reality.

Let’s not cheer too loudly quite yet, remember what happened the last time Sprocket went mano-a-mano with another woman …

YOU GO GIRL!

Oh, and by the way, it’s pretty much confirmed in panel one that the air horns can be swiveled 180 degrees to fire backwards.

Sorta suspected as much, given that the Nitrates had been shooting at the pursuing police vehicles behind ‘em during last year’s chase.

With Silver down and Sam and Tracy closing I say you can say good bye to the Nitrates!

Sprocket tried with all her mightTo make the blasted horns work rightWithout the bullets in the airThey’d never leave or disappearShe cringed when Silver lost his coolShe never was her brothers foolWhat was that noise it had to be badone look around she felt so sadPerhaps Stiletta’s plan was soundThen Tracy would not have been aroundTo stop her from administering painTo disgustingy sweet Ms Kandi Kane!

.

“Here I am Mr President! I told you I wouldn’t let you down, I was just running a little late! "

Actually, barring Sprocket trying to make a run for it solo, looks like we’re close to the wrap-up.

Will this story go out on a Thunk rather than an Earth-Shattering Ka-Boom?

Stay tuned …

Just caught the broken cig in the last panel! Nice touch

I noticed that, too. It’s the details that count.

The Anime clips from yesterday made me want to post my favorite police style anime of all time, Gunsmith Cats.Lots of gunfights, explosions, and car chases. And best of all it all takes place in Chicago.You can watch all three episodes of the OVA here:Happy St. Patty’s!

I couldn’t remember my lines anyway, Gweedo.

We may be in for a Krazy Kat fight here…..

Morning, Tracyville!

Don’t count Sprockett out yet. Remember she is a very strong woman. She can grab Silver’s gun and then jump Kandikane and hold the gun to her head and tell Tracy and Sam to lay their weapons down and simply walk out of there.

Outgunned by Kandi.

Being a film guy, Silver Nitrate was easily felled by a videocassette.-————That’s what I thought it was, too.

Woo hoo! Kandikane fits right into Vitamin and Tracy’s ‘family.’-Sprocket still has a card to play – she can release Lena.

Scratch one Nitrate! HA! I kill me. :D

Good one, Kandi!

Beat me on that one So funny.

CATFIGHT!!!

and might i say that, to the person who said a few days ago that “tracy is a crack shot” (or something to that effect) if THAT was the case, the nitrates would be DEAD by now.

Oh yeah … Now! … that’s what I’m talken about.

Lonnie Cavenee said yesterday that Mr. Nitrate could be on the receiving end of this sort of thing. .. Bravo to you Kandicane you precious lil gal!

Sprocket did not have a handgun (at least I don’t think so) so Kandi should pick silver’s up and fill him with holes before miss beautiful gets her mitts on it.

I think that you called for this yesterday! … so cool to see that thug down & out.

YES! Well done, Kandikane!In case anyone doesn’t know, a brick can open a skull quite nicely, thank you (I ran into one once). Silver Nitrate (may he rot in a cell) is lucky to be merely unconscious. Who’da thunk it [homage to the great panel 2]? —Many of us, actually. Miss Lane had “that look” in her eye yesterday….

If Sprocket continues to resist, she’ll become fertilizer.

Previews of this year in DICK TRACY.

Right now, scheduled adventures commencing after the conclusion of the Nitrate adventure

BILLION DOLLAR LIMITED FALL OF THE BLACKHEARTS MIDNIGHT MIRROR

Mysta and Honeymoon have lots of exciting news in the BLACKHEARTS adventure. The Brow is seen again and we learn his real name in MIDNIGHT MIRROR.

Yes, we have some big plans for Natta Fallar, and she will be seen soon in the strip.

The Luck of the Irish and to Kandi and to you All out there is Tracyville…where anything can happen..

Ooooh!!! Silver said “@*!” and yesterday Tracy fired his gun. I’m not sure when this turned into such a violent strip…

#sarcasm :D

And he’s still got his cig in his mouth… nice shot, Kandikane!

Are those stars over Silver’s head or kernels of popcorn? LOL!!!

Yaaaayyy, Kandi!! You rock, girl!!! As my mother used to say “Hit him again, he’s not Irish!!!”

Happy St Patty’s Day lads and lassies. My you find the pot o’ gold at the end of your rainbow. Be healthy, wealthy and wise my friends.

Its understandable, VistaBill, that you would like you VistaVision but how about SmelloVision? Were that technology in use here we could smell the acrid odor of gunpowder and, perhaps, the stench of Sprocket’s jealousy toward KandiKane and the aroma of Ms. Lane’s righteous indignation at the wounding of her sweetheart!

Being a film guy, Silver Nitrate was easily felled by a videocassette.

That’s funny, but the thought never crossed my mind. Having worked with videocassettes full-time for almost 20 years, it never looked like one to me. I would somehow be appropriate, though.

Kandi is dandy,But the brick is quick!

Short and sweet poem! Very economical, but it says a lot.

Nighty Night, Nitrate!

Nighty Night, Naughty Nitrates!

I really don’t see Sprocket doing anything, considering there are two pistol-wielding cops in that small space with her. Hopefully, she’s in for some cooking classes, ala Martha Stewart.

Puzz, you just hit a home run! I can hear Sammy’s voice in every word!

Good song lyrics, and they actually fit the music quite well!

Just a bit off-topic, but since discussing “Might-Have-Been” Dick Tracy projects and Fleischer Superman cartoons, seems only fitting to note Bruce Timm’s gorgeous Fleischer-style BATMAN 75th Anniversary short …

oh she hit her brother.
