Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for January 02, 2018

Good morning, everyone!™

Does Tracy hear Ruby and Rhett getting closer?

Who mentioned Blade Runner a few days ago?

Gould would be proud of this episode……..

Next time, throw that dumb Skype watch away and get yourself a cell phone with GPS.

Good thing he always wears a trenchcoat and a hat. And good thing that those doofus crooks don’t have the brains to remove it so that he really freezes to death. And why kill and tie him to a tree when it’s more fun to give him a sporting chance, eh.. Comic strip villains! ;0) :0P

Don’t worry, D. Your saviours are close by.

Not sure that such a topical reference is “Gouldian.” ✨

Be careful it may be a snowplow coming back Tracy!!!

Doesn’t it have GPS? It should be traceable.

Good morning Y’all. Happy New Year.

This strip gets worse and worse… bring back “Dondi”!

Why isn’t the wrist wizard voice activate (“Alexa, Call Sam !”) ???

Now if Tracytoon PD were up to speed, they’d have their drones out with directional software hunting down that weak signal. If that doesn’t work, enlist the assistance of the IRS. Tell them Tracy owes $20……..

So, between panels 1 and 2 of the December 28th strip, Sawtooth removed the gag over Tracy’s mouth so he could call for help?? That is a sporting chance. (Or are we to assume that Tracy got it off somehow?) Note that between panel 1 on the 28th and panel 3 of today’s strip, we only see Tracy’s face in shadow.

Dick could use this song right now:

Tracy should “Play Dead” till Sawtooth is brought to justice, then try to roll him for inculpatory evidence on his higher-ups.

But in the end Tracy will CONQUER

The strip seems to have gone from day (yesterday’s strip seems set during daylight hours) back to night with today’s strip. Must be those short winter days. & That Blade Runner reference flew right by me. Still, this is some of the best work Joe & Mike have done in a while.

Doesn’t Tracy recognize that the sound is coming from his Wrist Wizard? Maybe the exposure to extreme cold has somewhat befuddled his senses. Still, with Rifle Ruby and Rhett on rabbit hunt, someone may indeed be near enough for a call for help to be heard. Certainly, Tracy needs to be rescued soon!

Being that T-Bolt is hanging around Bribery, wouldn’t she be onto Sawtooth? She needs to earn her paycheck and drop a dime on Sawtooth.
