Flight Suit said, âVistaBill, nice avatar; I canât get enough of them giant monsters.â
Thanks, Flight Suit. I thought youâd like it! Kongâs not as frightening as the cat(?) in Crimestopperâs Textbook, though. Thatâs one weird creature! I can tell heâs up to no good.
Check out the front legs on that âcat.â It looks like itâs getting ready to lift weights. And that human-like expression on its face: heâs like a bully looking for a twerp to pick on. Yup, typical behavior caused by rabies.
As for the rest of the strip â once again, repeat and recap for the week-to-week readers while those who follow the strip Monday-Saturday are bored to years.
hello, 911?
yes, Iâd like to report my neighborâs cat is acting suspiciously.
and, now that I think about it , my neighborâs dog has shifty eyes and lurks a lot. I thought nothing of it until I read in Dick Tracy that Iâm supposed to notify you of itâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚâŚ..
Gee ! - Feeling just like a little boy at Christmas with a new TOY, so he prattles on unbelievingly. As he thinks of all the goodies that will follow - he can âsleepâ late in the morning - no need to go to that dratted building they call âHDQTRSâ - or call animal control that flat chested old cat, Lizz Grove.
No rocks in sight - Tess over by Junior every night âŚ
Here, everything is right, and fitting tight, with that young blonde assistant - âStarbrightâ !
Poor Memory ? Not checking the âhistoricalâ facts ?
Or a Writer thinking he has ARTISTIC LICENSE to âblatantlyâ change what has happened before ? Heâs just revealing a lack of ârespecât for whatâs gone before, just as he and Kilian did repearely, particularly with the Mumbles records and background..
Most that have read the strip easily recall that the Blank (aka âFaceless Redrumâ) never âdissapeared years ago leaving a trail âŚâ of anything. He was unmasked at HQ revealing a badly disfigured face and was âimprisionedâ for mulitpe murders of his former gang members.
Though Tracy canât seem to remember it he forcibly removed the Blanks mask using ether to soften the glue.
Now unless there was a panel we didnât see back in 1937 in which Redrum yelled âHay look at that!â
causing Tracy and the five other policemen to suddenly turn away while he escaped I donât think we can buy this he vanished years ago business and incidentally if Tracy thinks this is the real original Blank why hasnât he just grabbed and arrested him .. there is no statute of limitations on Murder.. not even in Naperville.
Just remember not to ask the suspicious pet about its immigration status .. thats profiling !
Congratulations to little Melissa Stevens of Battle Creek, Michigan - winner of this weeks âIllustrate the Crimestoppers Textbookâ contest. Five year old Melissa will receive a years supply of Dick Tracy comic strips (enough to enjoy two entire plot lines!).
VanDork said, âSure this wasnât the âcatâ that was in front of Tracyâs house?â
The cat in front of Tracyâs house looked like it had been struck by DTâs random shots. The bullets might have revitalized the cat and the result is shown here⌠a monster has been created! The good news is that it only comes out when there is a full moon!
âI donât think thatâs a cat, I think itâs more likely a were wolverine.â
It might be one of Diane Duaneâs interdimensional gate engineers.
âAnyway, I have known cats that act strangely most of the time.â
I think thatâs true of most cats, and many a dog (especially Labs and sheep dogs). For them, you have to look out for their acting strangely strangely.
Based very loosely on the tune âGhost Bustersâ
Thereâs a cat thatâs strange in your neighborhood
Who you gonna call?
Dick Tracy!
If itâs acting weird and it donât look good
Who you gonna call?
Dick Tracy!
I ainât afraid of no cat
Well, maybe if it looks like that
And if your cat looks like it wants you dead
Who you gonna call?
Dick Tracy!
He canât come cause heâs in a play
Donât Bother!
It is like Locher canât make up his mind on how Tracy views Johnny Nothingâan actor playing the Blank or the Blank himself. Also I donât know if the disappeared leaving a trail of dead bodies means another jail break (the Blank was captured in 1938) or it is a continuity gaff by Locher
âDisappeared years ago leaving a trail of dea dbodies.â
No, you captured him and it turned out to by a guy named Frank Redrum. who was killing his old gang for deserting him during a prison break, during which his face was eff-ed up and made all âPhantom of the Operaâ-y.
This is why I hate that they kicked off M.A.C. back in the â90s, and now the stripâs being written by⌠somebody from the mailroom that theyâre paying with beer, apparently.

Ah, hah, hah, hah, hah!!!!! I think that kitty is related to Cyber the Tiger.
But yes, by all means, call Animal Control. Itâs a proven fact that animals act strangely when they are about to commit a crime.
Vista Bill Raley and Comet⢠almost 15 years ago
Shudder! Iâd surely stay away from anything that looked like that cat or whatever it is!
Gee, Iâve forgotton the nameâs of the characters in this story!
GMorning, all!
margueritem almost 15 years ago
Yes, animals acting strangely in your neighborhood are about to commit armed robbery, or worse, although I think this one is just a cat burglerâŚ.

Itâs hard to choose one specific Crimestopperâs Textbook and say itâs the daftest one ever, but this oneâs certainly in the running.

That should have read âbored to TEARS.â But considering the pacing of this comic, maybe âyearsâ is a better word.

I believe youâre right! Next weekâs Crimestoppers Textbook will probably tell us to keep silver bullets close at hand!
Araldite almost 15 years ago
I think calling the police every time you see animals acting strangely would only serve to distract them from more important business. Bad idea.
