Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for December 29, 2017

Good wind chilling morning, everyone!™

I’ve heard Pokemon Go players say that they could really cause havoc with the GPS on their phones by partially wrapping the phone in aluminum foil. I wonder what Sawtooth may have done to block the tracking. Duct tape maybe?

I’d say the cold could freeze the adhesive and it may just flake off.

If Tracy watched the old Batman TV show, he’d know to never go out without Special Super-Thermal B Long Underwear.

Finally is giving us some old, Gould-ish situation, not like the bambi type in the past several years/months….

If only Sawtooth removed Tracy’s fedora and trench coat, Tracy will freeze to death faster.

Back in 1986, the bad guys tried to knock him off by locking him in a sauna. He escaped from that, only to be tossed down an elevator shaft. Thank goodness Sam arrived just in time to save him.

I love the silhouette of Tracy in this strip. Great!

Given that the temperature outside has been topping off in the single digits Fahrenheit the past few days, with wind chills in the negative teens and below, right about now I can relate to the effectiveness of this particular “Death Trap.” ✨

Curses Foiled again!!!

Great art and dialog the last few days. Harkens back to the 1940’s when as a young fellow I deliveredthe massive Sunday newspaper editions. Then in my warm living room poured over the great comicssection with Terry, Valiant, Tracy and all the others. Thanks fellas!!! andGoComics!!!

Tune in again tomorrow – same yellow hat time, same yellow hat channel!

FYI: Yesterday I posted info about Vista Bill’s memorial service and a link where you can leave a condolence message.

Now this is pure Goulian! Great work, Team Tracy!

If I could post photos, I have a great one for this!

Well, that explains that!

I’m guessing, for the upcoming Incredibles 2 movie, the “I’m not going to kill you right away, but instead leave you alone to die in my fiendishly clever but ultimately flawed death trap” super villain trope will be recognized the way “monologging” was acknowledged in the first movie (anyone have a short name for this?).

…..considering the death traps Tracy’s been in, and gotten out of (loved Mrs. Pruneface’s) being tied to a tree in bright yellow someone could spot a mile off, during holiday season where his absence would be noticed quickly…..should be child’s play for him. (and wouldn’t you know it…..here comes Frosty the Snowman, taking a late stroll….)

I suppose that Tracy’s wrist is wrapped with something akin to the RFID-inhibitor wallets being hawked these days. Maybe simple aluminum tape would do the job. Obviously, our hero has to wiggle it off his Wrist Wizard enough for a signal to get out. Then, he can be rescued (it was probably asking too much to have someone such as Mysta just chance upon him in the woods). But, again, Sawtooth has exhibited the Fatal Flaw of talky, hubristic super-villains presuming to snuff out a super-hero the slow, elaborate way rather than the quick, efficient way….
