Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 20, 2017

The Plentys are speechless.

Is it that Blackjack collects all “Tracy” case-related memorabilia, or just dolls? :)

Good morning all!

So it is timed to the song. Which means they will be hurried today. And Black Jack cannot let Tracy go for his gun.

BO & Gertie are saying, "What the…?

I’m waiting for Go Go Gomez, Joe Jitsu, Heap O’ Calorie, Hemlock Holmes, and the Retouchables to show up.

Not coincidentally, the Curtises ALSO have a Sparkle Plenty doll in their collection… ;-)

think that maybe blackjack will take sympathy on the plenty’s when he realizes that Paragon Bank has been shady with them?

If the Paragon Bank is where BO and Gert bank, BO probably thinks BJ is taking HIS money. BJ dressed well for the event, though!

Was Tracy disarmed? He did not even raise his hands up like the others yesterday. Tracy is probably waiting for Blackjack to escape before making his move.

I assume that Blackjack’s Sparkle Plenty doll was an “official” one and not a knockoff, and so the Plentys made some small amount on money off that doll!

I love his eyes in panel one, that is some sincere excitement!

I bet Blackjack hangs around long enough to take a selfie with B.O. & Gertie.

Okay, here’s the skinny. I like Blackjack. I really do! But it is pretty clear that this would-be Robin Hood has a few screws loose! Look at his eyes in panel 1 and at B.O. and Gertie’s reaction-glances in panel 2! As the Tub Thumping ends and Blackjack gets up again, I’m sure Tracy’s thoughts are to de-escalate the situation when a couple of sub-machineguns are trained on civilians and himself, even if by his Biggest Fan and Collector of Familial Collectibles. No need for a deadly shootout here with likely loss of civilian life!

56 comments with a little over an hour to go, and the eight previous days (June 12-19) have ranged from 42 to 79 comments. It doesn’t look like this phase of the storyline is doing well (June 12 had B.O. receiving the news about the court costs).

How about those two masked accomplices being Bronson Canyon and Double E? ;-)

The scene’s still the same, the musical notes are still shown (even if the song is almost over) so once again here’s the video:
