Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for October 07, 2017

Happy Saturday All!

Satisfaction on her face

Her nerves were calm and her shakes erased

She had the prize she always sought

The chance arrived she saw and she bought

To own a piece of history

The words “too high” would never be

Alas her heart would surely ache

To learn her love was a genuine fake

A lesson learned the old fashion way

Class is over so now you must pay

Where’s Honeymoon?

So, I wonder what the significance is of her mentioning he new grandchild? And Tracy breezing right on by the comment.

I bet Tracy is thinking, "I wonder if that ‘phonoautogram’ is a ‘recording’ of ‘Lincoln’ saying “You can fool some of the people all of the time…”

Panel 3: Old Abe wouldn’t lie to Tracy. But Bea Thorndike is unwittingly speaking that-which-is-not-true to the detective, who should handle the situation diplomatically, not just blurting out that she has just thrown away however many dollars the final amount really is. (Half-mil? With Silver speaking at first of a $20K cut, then walking out with $250K, and with Public Domain expecting $480K, I’m not sure what Bea’s final payout is.) Tracy is smart enough to know that the Lincoln phonautogram is a sham. So, the case heats up now….

In honor of the 60th Anniversary of the launch of ‘Sputnik’ …

Could Ugly Crystal be the "granddaughter of Ms Thorndyke?
