    Tracy must be doing his Tai Chi and his Yoga regularly. Most guys his age can’t kick that high.

    Heck, most human beings can’t kick that high.

    I’m curious about that gal putting on… Trying to put on a show. I’ve never seen anybody with a rectangular mouth before?

    Tracy has some pretty small feet.

    Wow, doing flatfoot work in loafers. Impressive.

    Thanks for clearing that up. I thought maybe her jaws were wired or something. Wonder if she sued the doc?

    Yesterday Rightwingmoron mentioned in his comment the name of an actor. I just want to see if the same thing will happen to me.

    Dick Van Dyke.

    Well, I didn’t get bleeeped. So I can talk about Van bleeep beards, collars and paintings. You didn’t spell it Dick Van Dike, did you, Rightwingmoron?

    Getting back to today’s strip. I’m upset that Tracy is fighting back. I was ready to launch a new toy, the Dick Tracy Action Figure with Runawaymatic [TM]. Whenever danger looms, you press the button on the back of the doll and watch Tracy move his legs like a track star, fleeing trouble. The figure comes complete with yellow hat, yellow trench coat and yellow stripe. Klueless Kops [TM] figures, purchased separately, can add to the fun.

    Panel 2: Johnny Nothing has his finger wrapped around the trigger.

    Panel 3: Tracy kicks the gun out of JN’s hand without getting shot. Could someone explain the physics behind that since we’re in a Science Museum?

    As others have mentioned before, why is the play taking place in a science museum? Will a Bunsen burner play a key role? Or will Tracy do the CSI thing and conduct a litmus test on the blood of the dead actor?

    “Hmmm, it wasn’t the bullet that killed him. This man had a fatal PH balance!”

    Someone should tell Tracy that white socks and dress shoes is not a good look.

    Panel-Panner, in the second frame, Nothing gets distracted by Anja’s shout. Then he glances over and gets a look at that mouth, and his finger freezes on the trigger. Quick-thinking Tracy seizes the moment (carpe momento?) and …who was the woman who won on Dancing with the Stars this year? What a kick she has!!!… gives his best pasodoble kick, and the rest is history. Could this arc be ending? Could BP have finally plugged the oil leak? Tune in.

    Remember in the Odyssey, Odysseus (Ulysses) tells the Cyclops that his name is “No One.” So when they blind the giant and run out of the cave, the Cyclops shouts to his friends, “No One is killing me.” They all say, “Oh, that’s cool,” and go back to sleep. I think about that every time I hear Anja shout, “Nothing!”

    Yes ! - “Looks can be decieving” (so said the Blank in May) : http://www.gocomics.com/dicktracy/2010/05/14/

    Back then he looked BALD with shadow (?), OR, short black hair,. How now, the wavy red hair ? As the hat fell of he must have pulled it from his coat pocket (fastidious?) - even before reaching for the gun

    Sounds like a 1954 Gould villain “RUGHEAD” … bald pate … red wig ! A son ?

    Macy’s certainly good with the martial arts. Probably practices between going to the circus and participating in amateur theatricals.

    Remember, this is the land of the expanding/contracting Science Museum. Time is irrelevant, and mortifying memories of murder are muted …kicking the gun out of another’s hand, even with disproportionately small feet, makes perfect sense.

    Johnny Nothing was tripped up and was on the floor. Couldn’t DT keep him down? How did he get back up when DT should have had the upper hand?

    @Rightwingmoron–What a crazy, insane explanation! That’s like saying the Science Museum expands and contracts at will….wait…um….uh…

    Heck, good an explanation as any…

    Crimestopper’s Textbook Guns are useless. If a criminal shoots a gun at you he will miss over and over again and then you can kick the gun out of his hand. If you have a gun it will be exactly the same – you will miss over and over and then the other guy will kick the gun out of your hand. So don’t bother with guns.

    Is he practising for ‘kick-boxing’ in the Olympics ?

    rainman5363:

    It seems if you type out the actor’s name by itself with a period, then no problem. But if you write Dick Van bleeep in a sentence, then Net Nanny gets ya.

    See what I mean? The way around it is to put the mistakenly bleeeped word in quotes: “Dyke.”

    Or just throw in a random period. I think that the main way around is to simply not use a space after the word, any punctuation mark should do. Dick Van Dyke’ was here!
