Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for August 11, 2015

“And don’t give me any double-talk!”Shouldn’t BB-Eyes have been addressing Doubleup?!

Good morning guys!.… and Honeymoon and Annie are right in the middle!

So, there really is treachery afoot! BB-Eyes and DoubleUp (assisted by a still-groggy Mumbles?) are planning to strike out the other faction.

For those who don’t read Mumble-ese too well: “It’s T-Bolt! T-Bolt locked me in here!”

A meticulously wrought deception begins to unravel …

… with perhaps catastrophic consequences.

T-Bolt has some explaining to do or she will end up the first in Mr. Biggs new collection.

So Mr Bigg knew everything and there’s no double cross from the Melies faction. Wonder how he learned. Probably bugged every room also.

Is T-bolt a rouge or part of Melies crew

I’m not sure what a “rouge” would be here, but I don’t see her as part of Méliès’ crew or BB-Eyes’ crew. She seems to be independent, other than the fact that she hangs close with Mr. Bigg most of the time. She’s a bit of a conundrum, but I think we’ll be in suspense about that a while.

The word is out the end might be nearMelies, Venus and Apollo should fearBut will the endangered trio play out thier handIn time to mess with Mr. Biggs planA sudden wrinkle the sound of a stumbleAn almost comprehensible sentence from MumblesAn interesting twist and unexpected tooIs T-bolt a rogue or part of Melies crewThis must be resolved as quietly as possibleToo much blood might involve the state hospitalWhich surely would call the police to make hasteAnd sort through the mess the carnage and waste.

Today’s poem is brought to you by the letters X Y and ZZZZZZ!

LOL!

Now this is what I like to see….while Melies is plotting to take out Bribery, BB Eyes is planning to give Melies a ticket to the hereafter…..let the gunplay begin!!!

Looks like Tracy is going to have half (or more) of his work done for him . …

Good morning, you all!@ vista Bill Honeymoon and Annie, when this is over, are in for a thorough scolding! What they believe they can do, in the middle of a thug’s battle?

So, BB-Eyes and DoubleUp have set out “to clean house”? And now, I suppose, Mumbles will join with them. Meanwhile, on the other side, I expect that Méliès, Venus, and Apollo, with his brand new bright and shiny .50 caliber Desert Eagle, are also gearing up. Of uncertain allegiance, there is T-Bolt. There are the junior detectives, Honeymoon and Annie. And, of course, Mr. Bigg is still soliloquizing to Diet Smith.Ace Tower is about to become hotter than a skyrocket, full of the smell of gun powder…. And the MCU aren’t even aware yet all this is going down (unless undercover T-Bolt has managed to sneak out a message to them).

Last panel, please help. What in the world is Doubleup saying? “Lockdmennhair”?

I think he was trying to say “Locked me in here” or something to that effect.

I hope the fan’s plugged in, because everything’s about to hit it.

Honey is the true heir to the Moon Maid throne. looks like heads are gonna Rock & Roll..

Could T-Bolt be Lee Ebony in disguise? That would explain why her supposed “victim”, Johnny Adonis, was seen alive and healthy in Florida by Mumbles. Just a theory.

And, we’re approaching the “singularity;” the point where all these plot lines converge – should be interesting.

Since it’s Mr. Am’s treasures in the public part of the building, I can’t help but wonder if he’ll put in an appearance to revive anyone? (Happened once before with “Daddy” Warbucks…)

Good morning everyone.-———————Good one, avenger09.-———————Night-Gaunt, I remember that episode. I bought the complete series.-———————Be happy and healthy my friends.

Repeating what I wrote in the third comment from the top: “It’s T-Bolt! T-Bolt locked me in here!”

From what I can see T-Bolt is anything but rogue which means going on her own. The question is who is she really working for?

This is a good question. While it seems unlikely that she is working by herself, it also seems she is being somewhat duplicitous with Mr. Bigg. She is somewhat rogue-ish in that she is not going along with the aims of the organization, perhaps. Her advice to Blaze, who is doing a very competent job for the Blackhearts, seems contrary to Mr. B’s purposes. I’m still going with the theory that she’s allied with the MCU.

"ZZZZZ"infamous episode-——————————————— Psst. Shouldn’t that be ‘famous’? ‘Infamous’ means famous for being bad, like “Heaven’s Gate,” and almost any film with Adam Sandler.

Since she should be returning, maybe Blaze will be the one who finds Annie and Honeymoon.

Hopefully, the junior detectives won’t get caught up in the gunfire as it seems like there might be a good bit of it.

At some point we almost have to cut to Dick & Sam, possibly Ted Tellum, definitely Mysta.

I’m thinking the Plentys and the extended Tracy clan will probably sit this story out.

Though if Abner Kadaver succeeds in fulfilling his contracts on Tracy, they’ll likely attend the funeral.

Heck, Walt Wallet might attend the funeral.

[Dying did Superman’s level of public awareness in the 1990’s a world of good, y’know.]

And Dick needn’t be really dead, just believed to be dead for awhile.

Well, I guess if Mr. Bribery can be believed dead for 50 years, Dick could be for a week or so.

Neil, you mentioned not to forget about Blaze. Yes, she might be out making a delivery. That would be very fortuitous for her right now. She wouldn’t need to take sides at this point. Also, don’t forget about the 3 Munro brothers who apparently are in with Bribery and Diet Smith. Where are Melies, Apollo and Venus anyway? You’d think they’d be in with Bribery. Probably working on next part of Melies’ plan. Question is will Apollo and Venus back him up or turn on him?

I think Honeymoon and Annie need to get out of there and get to a phone to call Tracy. It’s the 911 principle, the faster you call for help the faster help can get there. They are way in over their heads but you know how curious they are.

“What’d he say?”
