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

Good morning all!

Hello, Bill !

Have her make the check out to “cash”. We don’t need no traces on our braces !

She doesn’t like the smoke, but she is too interested in getting this ‘treasure’ for herself to mention it.

Good Morning, Bill!

I’ve seen collectors fall for this type of ploy. Myself included. I’m just hoping Tracy et al will put a stop to this before the check clears.

To write an ode to foolishness

Of how it leads to simple bliss

The joy of believing with one’s heart

Allowing facts to spoil and rot

Content to leave the truth behind

A symptom of a mouse that’s blind

An honest life can be so bland

Soaring dreams with my head in the sand

Part of what makes the scam so clever is that they’re not pushing hard to sell the phonautogram, rather it’s Bea who’s being lured into making the first move.

By the way …

… a certain someone’s guest appearance continues over on “Gasoline Alley.”

Silver should sell cars!

What costs would she have incurred at this point?

Well, we can see her fortune go up in smoke for she can’t see how unlikely this is, cause smoke gets in her eyes

Ladies, and Gentlemen, The Platters:

Does anyone know the date of the Mole’s return under Staton and Curtis? I know that he had returned several times under different writers.

What a sorry sight! Old-fashioned belle Bea is privileged by wealth and accustomed to having her way, and she is practically overcome with the vapors at the thought of possessing the Lincoln phonautogram! What a sucker she is, an ideal mark for a con, only too eager to be taken for a ton of loot! And how skillfully “Femstock” has set the hook! Reel her in and make the score!

Maybe, when she recovers her composure after shelling out Big Time for the fake artifact, she’ll share the “good news” with Honeymoon and thus set the wheels of Justice (Tracy) in motion….
