Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for February 17, 2016

Blaze was finally setting inShe no longer felt like a fish with one finShe had to admit as she sat in the chairShe enjoyed these brief moments when there was nothing to fearIn a snap of the fingers she knew she could goIf someone with power said it was time to feel woeShe hoped when big brother tried something real slickHer life could be saved by the honorable Neil WickThen suddenly the calmness said so long and goodbyeAs the name of Dick Tracy made her grip her bowtie.

Believe me folks, this was not easy!

This may be one of those instances where some will comment that this story is jumping around too much, but c’mon, IT’S NOTTA (and, of course, Blaze)!

It must be a real slow news day in Tracyville.

Can I say that? I don’t know anymore!

.Good morning guys!.Tracy’s away… the criminals will play!

Given they’d made separate ‘escapes’ during the ‘Fall of The Blackhearts,’ they seem to have found their way back to each other quickly enough.

Based on Nottas past history, not buying the stories inference here….

The Notta look in that Mike mentioned! She’s pretty interested in Tracy being out of the country. Wonder what that’s all about?

This may be one of those instances where some will comment that this story is jumping around too much.CP, that’s the understatement of the new year! This is like a Mexican jumping bean!

(No offense meant to any beans out there!)

Well, now we know where Blaze Rize is….but I’m with 60s Fan, why is Notta excited that Tracy is WAY out of town?

OK, I just gotta ask….why does Blaze ask the question that way? Is it that her lack of a record means she has never heard of the famous detective?

While Tracy is the city celebrity, I’m not sure the Russian would appreciate his picture and mission statement on the front page of the newspaper.

It’s good to see Blaze again! She’s looking awfully domesticated and “normal” here with Notta…..Does Notta have some caper in mind? And what exactly is Blaze thinking about at the mention of Dick Tracy? Could there be an assault on the Tracy family brewing?

Maybe I’m miss-remembering, but I thought when Blaze and Notta were last seen together, Notta was telling Blaze that they must run, and each go their own way, “good luck you’re on your own”, etc. I’m meeting several guys from my church for breakfast, so I can’t look it up and I don’t remember exactly when it was, but isn’t that about what was said? How did they end up together like this?

So they arrived in Havana … hat brims turned smartly down …Yearning for the ‘promised’ Night-Life of that ‘famous’ Town In short order … they’d see it fast . . .A smoky room … filled with DJ bombast !

Odd, how these guys can’t find Evidence or even a Clue?Just ‘Moxie Rhetoric’ from someone like DJ, Roach – or you? (?)When going to the Crime scene … they often ‘catch’; their manLike they did at the Bank Robbery … with those Canyons

Today, it’s a ‘switch back’ - Tracyville and ChinChillaAnd her “live in” Guest - our Flakey Biscuits ‘killer’ !Mike likely has this (ahead) connected in some way to BriberyWhile Joe, easy to see - shows a “blossoming” bosom in 3 - and clearly wearing - Size “D” !

Not quite sure what he intends, by showing that ?But a few here (in ‘appreciation’?). might just Stand and ‘Clap’ !

So what if Spicy has been reading “The Daily” webpage regularly, and sees this story? Cuban detective out of country with Tracy = Tracy could be in Cuba!!! Time to get out of Cuba!

This one I almost forgot. Notta is the star of the next story, and we have to establish some things before Tracy returns from Cuba.

Its All Good!!!

Jumping around is how you knit things together.

.

It’s also how you get nauseous! LOL!

The past few weeks remind me of side 2 of Abbey Road!

Thanks to everyone who took the time to let me know you enjoyed today’s poem. Thank you also for not deleting any of my posts today, ,, thus far! “Live long and prosper! "

I CAN’T be the only one who wishes the boys would stick to one story to it’s completion, can I?

(Not trying to offend anyone, just asking a question. Please don’t vaporize me!)

Still here, but what I want to know is just what is Lt. Saavik doing to David? LOL!

Blaze no longer seems so ambivalent about Notta.

Every time we see Notta and Blaze together, Blaze seems to have this pensive look on her face, as if she’s not sure about this set-up…

Well, it certainly doesn’t mean she’s thinking “hey, no Tracy, we can commit crimes” because there’s still a police force around……so I’m guessing it’s that she can mess with his family as some sort of revenge. But, he’s away at work all day, doesn’t live with most of his relatives anyways, and he could return in a matter of hours, so that makes no sense either. I also have never got why all the baddies think Blaze isn’t thought of as a criminal yet…..I’m sure she’s suspect #1 in Flaky Biscuit’s death…..

I think it would really be cool if we could fit Sprocket, the Mole, Ebony, Pruneface, Rikki, Johnny Adonis, and the Jumbler in this story, too, lol….
