Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for March 31, 2016

Is Melendez allowed to do that?

Is Tracy allowed to take that?

Maybe — as it is a souvenir …

And considering it’s only a dollar, I don’t think it will be a problem.

Ahh… but it is a Silver certificate….

Looks like DJ and his bunch got away, but that’s not really Tracy’s problem. That’s Wunbrow’s concern.

So, Señor Melendez who seems to be Wunbrow’s boss, wanted Tracy to stay in his room (because he was supposedly attracting terrorists), but now Melendez has to thank Tracy for catching Specs and Spicy. He should be embarrassed that he so misjudged the situation.

Something crashed on Jupiter on the 17th. No word yet on whether it could have been a space coupe. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCN4s4jaNNA

Looks like Tracy isn’t concerned about the “missing” Specs’ glasses.

Overall the story seemed rushed. I was hoping for a lot more sleuthing on Tracy’s part, especially after they were banned from doing anything because it was thought that his presence was the cause of the increased terrorist activities. It’s nice to know what future story lines are coming up but I wish that the creative team wouldn’t give specific dates as to when they will start.

Diet may not be very happy that the Rooski got the X-Ray specs.

As evidence, as much of the currency available ought to be turned over to the US secret service, who have the resources to trace the origins of who may have brought the money down to Cuba.

.Good morning guys!

A genuine silver certificate would be worth more than face value, not much more..\\//_

I still don’t think the story is over. I don’t understand the “dud” remarks. There is too much unfinished business.

Good morning, Vista Bill and all!I liked this story overall. It was more enjoyable than the one before it in my opinion. I liked that it was in Cuba and Tracy teamed up with two other detectives, something different. Specs and Spicy had personality. The new 52 Gang now controls the Apparatus, and that was an interesting development. The brief interlude with Notta and Blaze was very enjoyable, and it intersected with the Cuba story. The art was terrific as it always is. There was a lot to like here for me. Now on to the wedding and Notta!

Couldn’t agree more, Avenger09. Really weak and boring,

Agreed. Seems to breeze past the interesting parts but then goes slow for the uninteresting parts, like today’s strip.

An Oxygen atmosphere would have caused a lot of burn up with possibly little or no actual impact …

Apparently, the entire planet is 90% hydrogen and 10% helium with only traces of anything else. There is no “surface” as such on Jupiter. It’s similar to the sun in terms of the materials that make it up.

That money (in real life) would, I think, have been taken out of circulation long since.

Do we know the story arc is over?

The story line did seem to move in haste, leaving a lot of gaps and loose ends. What happened to the safecracker and the rest of the DJ gang in the bank? Will Tracy get the X-Ray goggles back from Ivanov, or do we chalk this one up for the Russian Federation spy service? What, if anything, will Specs inform the cops about concerning his employers? Etc.
