Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 03, 2010

Is that Bill Maher in the background??

Tracy’s in a mad panic, so terrified that all he can think about is his own survival!

The Blank’s fired three shots at Tracy and they all missed. Liz and Sam are beginning to get suspicious.

And it’s about time! Nice to have you back tonight!

Thanks, marguretem! Good morning.

Did Tracy leave his gun at home?

As Oliver Hardy used to say, What could be worse? Or was it something about a kettle of fish?

Panel 1: Notice the path of the bullet. Poor Tracy. Looks like he lost some fingers and (ahem) something else as the bullet sped by.

Didn’t Hardy used to say, “That’s another fine mess you’ve gotten us into Stanley!”

June 1st: ZING

June 2nd: BLAM

June 3rd: POW

June 4th: YAWN

“It’s good acting or…”

It’s on the tip of her tongue. C’mon, you can figure it out. Your quick thinking in an emergency is why they made you police chief. Now think it through. Blood on stage, Tracy running away with soiled pants… what could it mean?

Margueritem, you are correct. However Ollie was also known to ask What could be worse? just before things got worse.

Has Tracy developed a super power in panel 1? Looks like he is walking into the wall on his left side like the Vision in Marvel’s Avengers.

The science museum is back in panel 2. So is the giant tree, or bush or whatever on its left side. The whole panel looks like a rough sketch someone didn’t have time to finish.

Tracy didn’t tell his suspicions to Lizz, et al. The cops didn’t tell Tracy they’d be in the audience or he would have screeched at the top of his lungs for help by now. Is he wearing his wrist gizmo? Why doesn’t he call for help on it?

Did Liz notice that the “blank” just tore a chunk out of the corner? It’s hard to dial up your wrist gizmo when someone is firing real bullets at you. At least, it’s always hard for me. (No double entendre intended.)

The cops are standing up again today

Wake up, Liz! Two Morons here: Liz and Sam!

Worst strip of ever.

LLewellenbruce Our Detective wears a Wrist Geenee everyday … It’s equiped with a Taser Gun.. But in situation after situation Locher just “PRETENDS” it isn’t there.

It’s now become Locher’s version of the Space Coupe A sort of story ‘spoiler’.

fishbulb said, “So is the giant tree, or bush or whatever on its left side.”

Actually, it is the plant from “The Little Shop of Horrors”.

Fifty years experience as a cop has taught him that bullets should be avoided.

Next 2 weeks NOTHING much will happen other than Tracy continuing his training for the Senior’s Decathalon Event Lot’s of RUNNING, KICKING and JUMPIING … entertaining, if, somehow - you consider RUNNING AWAY and HIDING as action laced ‘suspense’

On this one, Locher has given his Praetorian Guard an Oily Gulf spill Pole to hold unto. How embarrassing to defend. No imaginable ‘SPIN’ can work.

And this sort of thing is what one called “SUPERB” … there is no accounting for ’TASTE’

margueritem question for you or Luv8 have been pictures to animinagted pictures in comment box. How is it done? I’ve tried highlight, copy then paste but there is no paste. Or does anyone else know what to do?

Hey,the Blank has shot off Tracy’s left arm!

Anyone hear from Matthew?

Kab Buch, I don’t know how to do the animated ones.

Sigh…

I’m sorry but what dramatic performance uses REAL BULLETS?!!?! The audience would know it was real when bullets start hitting things like walls and people.

No, it isn’t good acting, lady…. There ain’t nuthin good about this strip no more. :(

-Cougar :{)

there’s a corpse, blood and smelling bad and all on stage big bad gunshots, smell of gunpowder

is no one’s spidey sense tingling?

Bass Man Bob, I’ve been keeping track of Matt, whose comic strips have been on hiatus for a few months now. Check his site for updates and info:

First the tiger cage, now the stage, when will Tracy learn to carry his real gun all the time?

Matthew’s been just like Sam - quiet like a Lamb !

As I noted the other day, happily - “self discipline” and “maturity” often come with age.

If that’s Bill Maher in the background, maybe one of The Blank’s stray shots will hit him and make this travesty worthwhile.

Ah, nothing like wallowing in the sty of DT….
