Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for February 21, 2017

I hope this doesn’t end the storyline. I’m really enjoying it so far.

Not that much of a dust-up, really.

not exactly surprised to see someone he thought was blown to bits, hnmmm….

Sure is . Tracy done a “perfect” job of rounding up those boys !

Good morning, Vista Bill !

Brush is lucky…..most of those who decided to shoot it out with Dick Tracy usually wound up on a slab in the city morgue.

What was that info that Kitchen Brush paid Pouch for? It looks like it wasn’t a good plan or it was not implemented correctly. I think Brush has more participation in this story than being involved in a failed holdup. Perenelle is probably running a Carny scheme as mentioned by Brush a few weeks ago.

How will Mike Curtis explain the resurrection of Brush? It looks like Tracy is not surprised to see Brush alive.

I know that someone mentioned Mike’s error but it still needs some explaining on strip as to what happened to the last appearance of Brush.

Wasn’t Brush saying only a week or two ago that Dick Tracy wouldn’t be any problem? I can’t look it up at the moment due to computer problems.

And he said, “Dick, it’s only a scratch. And I’ll better, Dick. I’ll be better just as soon as I am able.”

Good morning guys!

♫♫ Hello, I’m late, I’m late, I’m late. ♫♫

Just what is that gizmo Tracy’s gripping supposed to be? plumbing? LOL!

SAM’S SCHOOL FOR SUPERVILLAINS – Bayonne, NJ – Lesson #16: Pick Your Targets While our aspiring antagonist above has some of the makings of a villain that can rise above others (distinctive appearance, clever nickname, mind for planning big jobs), he has apparently forgotten the cardinal rule of this gig: Never shoot at a TV/movie/comic strip cop! Their aim will always be better than yours and you’ll just be sent off to the Big House… if you’re lucky. Instead, the budding bad guy needs to be choosy in their targets, aiming instead for small-fry until you can build your criminal enterprise to the point where you feel secure enough to take on the heroes. (“Let’s have a hand for that young cowboy… and wish him better luck next time…”)

“Bah”? Next, Brush will say “I would have gotten way it, if it wasn’t for you meddling crimefighters.” LOL

I’m not sure how Brush is walking away from this. In the last strip Tracy appeared to have shot him in the chest at point-blank range. Either he’s a bad shot or he’s using rubber bullets.

So, I just found this online and it gave me a chuckle.. check down the page to the last entry and write-up… made me laugh

Awesome to see Tracy and Spirit together!

“Great plan! Would have gotten away with it, too, if it wasn’t for you kids and your dog!”

I love the team up of two masked detectives (except for Dick Tracy). The partnership seems so natural, I hope it will continue. Best, Nick

It appears to me that this strip has had its # of posts drop considerably during the last year – I count 52 for today (including replies).

Gonna say it here because It’s been bugging me: Perenelle Flammel had to have let the information out.

Being immortal, she’s bored, so she staged the auction to see what action she could stir up (even getting the Dragon Lady to appear!) and she leaked the info about the transfer (maybe as a challenge to Tracy).

But if the guard dies, she’ll be an accessory to murder, and might be sentenced to…

Life in prison, without parole. (Eisneresque finish?)There. Got it out of my system.

And so, Brush and Kitchen have struck out, thanks to Tracy and the Spirit!

Now, meanwhile, what’s up with Perenelle Flammel (or whoever she is) and the Elixir of Immortality?
