Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for January 25, 2018

Well that wraps up one loose end of this story line, with Posie dying in the shooting

Not to worry, chief. The patrol car with the atomic lights is on the way!

I extend my condolences to Mysta for the death of her biological father. I was expecting a very dramatic scene between Posie and Mysta but that won’t happen now after Posie took Sawtooth’s bullet between the eyes.

Good morning all y’all. Sympathy for Mysta.

Good morning™ dispatcher Wick and Tracytown funeral directors !

From late yesterday

Thanks also to 22ph and Beerbottle !  Gocom must have been celebrating my birthday, to be so late with today’s run, and didn’t even invite me !

Well well, looks like one of my “predictions” yesterday (?) has come to fruition… security alerted the MCU and posie is swimming with the fishes

Was there a a missing strip from yesterday’s to today ?  Feels like a Morrow sized jump in the action here !

Time to update the Death List. ✨

Of course, we’re talking Diet Smith Industries, here. No guarantee Posie’s gonna STAY dead… ;)

Are these the “new” wrist wizards? You’d think the time would be digitally displayed. With the rest being covered in speaker cloth, you’d think Philco would be written on the front!

It’s confirmed. Posie is pushing up posies.

Posie was shot at Diet Industries. And now he’s found at his daughter’s apartment? What gives here?

They did kill Posie… (sniff)

I guess Sawtooth didn’t get the word Bribery wanted Posie, just T-Bolt. Another of his plans gone bad.

Will Posie stay dead? I’d say so. Who would want to bring him back?

Well Oliver Warbuck’s never did complete his “Lazarus Project” so unless Diet Smith got hold of some Agent Indigo also called 2, 4, 5-Trioxin (modified)§ no one will be coming back from the dead. Nor would you want them to.)

§ “Return of the Living Dead” (1985) for the hilariously grim stories on finding some of the missing canisters. Used in Vietnam and Cambodia to “revive” newly dead solders to keep on fighting. Was a mistake covered up.

Did Batman’s Louie The Lilac (1st episode 10/26/67) precede Posie? Did Erskine debut in ’68? The connection just dawned on me.

Poor Mr. Ermine. I’ll never look at another box of Sunny Wheat cereal the same way again.

Whoa, honestly didn’t expect that.

Well, Sawtooth’s got death row now…..two witnesses to first degree murder.

Well, Sawtooth’s got death row now…..two witnesses to first degree murder.

Blam! Blam! Posie Ermine lies still as death, ‘cause he’s dead, in the snow at Mysta’s Smith Industries campus apartment. What a way to go. He died defending his biological product from Sawtooth, the imported West Coast shootist. And now, as we know, Mysta Chimera and Moon Governor are being held by the emotionally exploded madman, Mr. Bribery, while Sawtooth looks on. With the bug-out by Ygor Glitch, however, the odds are a tad more favorable for Lee Ebony, should she decide to break cover as “T-Bolt” and attempt a rescue of the hostages. She’d have to be very cold-blooded about it, though. Back-shoot the “Jaws” lookalike, the way so many Old West shootings went down, to get rid of him. Then, confront Bribery.

Or, one could wait for the cavalry to arrive….

I am hoping GoComics will be on time today….

Looks like GoComics still have a hangover from Gweedo’s birthday celebrations. :)

Anyone know if there’s a GoComics announcement about the change of the opening bell from 1 AM to 8 AM? It looks like there’s a new time for posting of new strips here and it started yesterday.

I almost always check in about now (6:00 AM whatever time zone TX is in). Yesterday, about half my strips were updated by then. Today, none.

In Central time, Comics Kingdom puts the new strip up at 11 pm, a full hour and a quarter before GC. Now what? You don’t wanna miss today’s installment! Bummer!

Today’s is here:
