Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 15, 2015

Good morning fellow DT fans!

DoubleUp with a droll sense of humor! And, Blaze concerned! Great characterizations!

Good morning DT fans!

Doubleup’s lectureIs interruptedBy Blaze warningDick Tracy’ s comingIs trouble for sure!

Haven’t seen a Gould-style “Identifier Caption” in awhile.

“Cellphone Vibration” indeed!

And congratulations on being #1 this morning, VistaBill! :)

Doubleup could pass for Gruesome’s brother today. Brrrrr …

I’m thinking Doubleup hasn’t answered and Blaze has got his voice mail.

Quick!!! Out the back door! …And bring Jimmy with you.

Doubleup has quite the sense of humor…sense of humor

Wow….Doubleup cracked a joke….a little graveyard humor….

Jimmy is too cool headed – almost as chill as Doubleup. He must have an exit plan.

I see a bad moon a-rising! I see trouble on the way! I see Tracy is arriving, Split! Split now, says Blaze Rize! Out the back way, boys, or gunplay’s sure to follow; Tracy is a-coming!!

I think Blaze will keep her clean rap sheet if Doubleup doesn’t appear pronto…No honor among thieves and such.

Jimmy is very pleasant to Doubleup in this situation. That’s the second joke Doubleup has made in a week, I think.

This is getting good.

Sunday is going to define things! No sleeping on this one, Av!

Good morning Tracy fans AND to ‘The Wizard of GoComics’: the One and Only Gweedo! ___________Tomorrows comic should be interesting. Will the 3 bad guys escape? Will there be a shoutout? Have a safe day my friends.

It’s truly amazing how Joe (in panel 2) can capture the facial expressions and those hands in panel two could win an art contest!

I too am liking this guy. .… wanted to mention something from yesterday it isn’t that I’m shy … there is a lot of pride here at the farm lately and I don’t want to come off as too prideful because nobody likes a big feeling blow hard … well not here in our camp at least

… looks like Blaze has the boss’s back … honor amongst thieves … cool thieves though!

I’m curious about the prominent “Storage” sign

WHERE Is the GOLD ?

Theoretically, only Jimmy Choo Shooz and his robbery gang “know”! ?Mr. Bigg and B-B clearly WANT to find out - and presumably(?) Tracy does too . . . ? Although he hasn’t shown any ‘inclination’ to follow that trail (suggested by the Mole) to that tunnel exit by the Lake . . .(like Mugg the 3rd(?) he’s dropped the ‘scent’ and found reason instead, to ‘drive around’ the City and ‘speculate’ (?)

Based on the above what’s needed now is INFORMATION, not further dead bodies that can’t speak !

So short of an ‘out of control’ armed resistance, seems Jimmy is wanted foremost for “questioning” both by Doubleup (for the Gold) and Tracy (for the shooting of Fontane)One might further ‘suspect’ that in the latters mind (for now), Gold’s on the ‘back burner’ ?

Valid points, Sydney.

It’s possible the entire gang – including Jimmy – could conceivably get wiped out …

… in which case, we’d likely cut back to Ted Tellum at the lake.

Having ISP problems for the past few days and internet keeps going off every time it gets rainy. Also getting a static sound whenever I try to talk on the phone (landline). Seems like water is getting into the phone connection. I’ve got a connection today but it is supposed to thunderstorm again tonight. We’ll see what happens.

@SYDNEY PHILLIPS:

WHERE Is the GOLD ?___________________________

Some of Jimmy’s gold may have gone here:

Jimmy Choo Shoes

Im thinking Blaze is gonna high tail it outta there and leave Doubleup on his own. This may be the last time we see Doubleup as a “free man”

@Sydney PhillipsBased on the above what’s needed now is INFORMATION, not further dead bodies that can’t speak !

Both Doubleup and Tracy have an interest in making sure Jimmy is alive, so they can get information from him. They are both going to try to keep him alive. He’s no value to them dead.

@Ray Toler:Thanks for the link. Either that’s an amazing coincidence, or Mike and Joe knew about those shoes when they created the character of Jimmy Choo Shooz.

All in good fun…Let’s see..

I suspect another collision course on Sunday.

It would be in DoubleUp’s best interest to stay out of sight, since he had made himself known to Tracy earlier.

Yes, he had gone to another betting place, but showing up at another of Jimmy Choo Shooz’s betting places too soon, after the homicde at the previous one?

Tracy will be doubly aware, doubly aware!

@ Ray Toler

Amazing footwear . . .

The “names” Right On !

But given his Girth, I don’t think he’ll be ‘running’ anywhere soon - to recover the Gold ! ;- )

Speaking of HANDS . . .

Doubleup’s Hand at rest, on that Whip in panel 3 yesterday, offered so much ‘PROMISE’, a dramatic signal of action . . . ?Figuratively, he’d already pulled his ‘GUN’ from the ‘holster’ …All he needed to do now, was pull the ‘trigger’ . . .. . .to wrap around Jimmy’s figure ! ?

In tight spaces the wanted truth often ‘Jumps’ Out !

…..Doubleup just saw Tracy in person with no problems at all……why should he mind now? It makes PERFECT sense for him to be at another betting parlor, since he couldn’t place a bet at the last one…

A company called BitGold started trading on Toronto’s TSX Venture Exchange today. You can deposit gold with them and then use it to buy things, like a debit card. Maybe that’s what Jimmy needs.

Tracy wished that Sam would driveA wee bit more than twenty-fiveHow nice it’d be to finally arriveBefore the goons they’d be surprised

Hold your ground don’t move a bitYour under arrest we got a tipDon’t say a word just zIp your lipAnd by the way that shirt ain’t hip

Oh No no way I hate the darkthat’s why I won’t stroll in the parkat night when dogs all like to barkI hope the whip won’t hit it’s mark.
