Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for August 09, 2016

.Good morning guys!.Our own Gweedo stepped up and is assisting with the suspense filled blow-by-blow word-by-word commentary today….

Not much of a plan, really …

… pretty much on a par with, “Hey! You! Wanna fight?”

I doubt very much that Kadaver has – Oh, let’s say – Brainwashed Tess, and dressed Tess up as himself to fight Tracy.

Is that your master plan? Abner, come on. Not the old, over the falls bit. W.W.V.P.S. (What Would Vincent Price Say?)-You really should have gone for the falling chandelier while you were in Paris.

Gweedo insisted,Radio personalities always work best in pairs !-————————————————————————.You and me, Gweedo? Or you and “Farm Boy”? I’m no match for ‘Farm Boy’ and his melodic yodeling.Good morning! Bedtime for old Vista Bill now. See you later.

guiowen said, about 1 hour ago (yesterday)I don’t understand.. Abner was able to enter Tracy’s bedroom ans kidnap his wife. Wouldn’t he have been wiser to murder Tracy right there?

His pride would never allow that. It’s important to him that he explain his motivations to Tracy and that he pick the most appropriate place for Tracy to die. Murdering Tracy in his bed just wouldn’t have the flair that Abner demands from his most challenging target.

“Close quarters?”Good idea. Tracy, reach in your pocket, and throw your loose change at him! It’s sure to distract him!

This isn’t going to end well for you Abner.

Gweedo explained in his professional demeanor,‘Farm Boy’ is the color, we’re just the commentary, Bill !-—————————————————————————-.Gotcha, Gweedo!

If Abner ever quits yapping, we’re going to see some close quarters combat.

Spare me the “Chitty-chitty-chat-chat, Abner!”

Can’t wait to see how this plays out.

“Would I turn on the GAS if my friend Tracy were in there?”

Abner may still have his cane sword, and Tracy… as speculated the other day… would be unarmed… tho Tracy is a better fighter Abner has plenty of tricks up his sleeve… the smoke pellets, the cane sword.. who KNOWS what he could have smuggled into the country in the air tomb.

Which begs the question… Rikki filed paperwork to transport her “dead uncle” to London only.. so how did he get into the other countries to follow Tracy?

Let me go counter-intuitive and suggest that Tracy solve this Indiana Jones-style. He does have a pistol (lent by a friendly detective in France), pulls it out, shots Kadaver. Kadaver tumbles off the path, over the falls. End of story.(Okay, it probably won’t go down that way. But the irony would be delicious. And it would create the opportunity for a Harrison Ford cameo appearance….)

Special guest appearance by Dick Tracy in the Working Daze comic strip today. A very nice rendering of the classic Gouldian Tracy profile.

Ya think Abner is going to tell Tracy where Tess is? On the other hand, Tess is looking a bit old……..

Perhaps Abner has a drugged Tess there. If he throws her over the falls will Tracy jump?

Every winner takes all matches are preceded with trash talk, don’choo know that !?!

Well, I know that Abner is never going to stop talking, because he’s Abner. That’s all.

I so admire a man who’s thoughts are of his loved ones. Go Tracy! Bury Abner!

Translations:“Let’s boogie!”“Let’s mambo!”“Let’s dance!”“And awaaaaayyy we go!”

Thanks for the link, Ken !

I didn’t think a link would be necessary, since Working Daze is exactly two clicks away on this same Comics site, and I was in kind of a hurry this morning, but wanted to let my friends here know about the Tracy appearance.

I’ll bet Tess left early do to Abner. She’ll be found completely unharmed.

On the subject on how Abner can travel between countries in the European Union, here are two link I found. The first is on entering the Euporean Union.http://ec.europa.eu/immigration/what-should-i-avoid/how-to-enter-the-eu/crossing-the-eu-borders_enThe second give a little more details about crossing the borders of member countries. You have to scroll down to near the bottom of the page.http://ec.europa.eu/immigration/who-does-what/what-does-the-eu-do/already-in-the-eu_en#anchor3

Gweedo clarified his comment for JPuzzleWhiz and I read it,But !!!, there’s two of us, Puzzy; Vista Bill, (Bee) aaand Me, Gweedo (Gee) and so, I have taken the responsibility for the billing as the Bee Gees!-—————————————————————————-.We’ll be famous Gweedo! Soldier on!

There might still be units of the Blackhearts still in operation and a euro-division might be helping Cadaver. I assume Bribery is still in charge. The MCU knocked off the Tracyland Blackhearts but it looks like Bribery brought in more help. Did Tracy ever find out about Bribery’s discarded air car?

Abner Moriarty….Hmmm….what have I missed??

And isn’t BJ still at large? Could be he might be a factor in this!

Blackjack is indeed still at large, but the chances that he is now in Europe are slim to none. It was actually a pretty smart move for Abner to do this in Europe.

Gweedo assured,We’ll be bigger than Bob and Tom, Bill, and those guys are Huge !!!-—————————————————————-.I’m excited, Gweedo!
