Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for January 24, 2018

Glitch senses the ship is sinking and the rat is is fleeing!!!

Good morning™, Neil and ex employees !

This story seems to swing from “too easy” to “what the…” and back to “too easy” … what the?!?

Quasi runs from the fire as Lee will run to it !

With Bribery the ship isn’t just sinking, it is about to EXPLODE! No one pays enough to stay for that. Glad T-Bolt didn’t kill him.

Would say that now when the chips are down, it is going to be Bribery and his niece against everybody else. I presume she loves her uncle but may in the dark as to what he did or does for a living.

Boy. that was easy. She probably thought she was going to have to kick his a$$ or something…

WOW….talk about coming out of left field.

Out of everything and anything I could have thought would happen this was nowhere on any list…..

Gotta give Glitch his props…..he may look like a fool, but he’s not an idiot.

It looks as it is hitting the fan!!!

As Sam Spade said to Brigid O’Shaughnessy in The Maltese Falcon, “You’re taking the fall.”

What, this gizmo doesn’t have a mute button?

Very Elmore Leonard-esque, this little scene. “Dutch” used to like to surprise you with these potential battles that don’t materialize; then hit you with a violent burst from out of nowhere.

Lee, while wearing that watch, could have gotten herself killed. Whoever is calling her has no idea that she isn’t with Bribery or Sawtooth. Big hole in Mike & Joe’s plot. Having a police radio blaring while one in in deep cover isn’t too cool.

If Dave hasn’t written a snarky post about this on the Facebook page…Dave is gonna write a snarky post about this on the Facebook page. Today is truly a headscratcher.

Well, that was unexpected.

Why did Glitch warned T-Bolt? He could have just escaped without anyone noticing. Don’t tell me Glitch has a crush on T-Bolt. :)

I’m thinking that Lee initiated the call to tell the MCU of Bribery’s abduction of the Moon Governor and Mysta. I’m sure she keeps the Wrist Wizard well hidden under the sleeve of her garment. When it is not being used. As someone suggested. The Wrist Wizard might vibrate to alert her to call MCU.

I had a GREAT post all ready to go… and my system locked and I lost it…im quitting and going home lol

Am I really back?

Hello.Hello

Glitch has failed in his roll as henchman. Taking the fall is the primary purpose of any good henchman. “Igor, blockade the door while I activate the escape pod!”

I think Glitch and Junior go to the same hairstylist. Check out the silhouette of him from 2 days ago. And another reason Glitch has to go – is it is time to ring the bells….. (gotta make ends meet, even for a bell-ringer)

For those who missed it, an announcement from Mike Curtis from a few days ago:

“Hi everyone! We’re announcing the second MINIT MYSTERY to appear in DICK TRACY. It runs from April 1 through the 8th. The guest artist is JOHN LUCAS, who has drawn DEADPOOL, SUPERMAN, BATMAN, X MEN, CONAN and SPIDER-MAN plus lots more. The plot involves an actor who plays a superhero on TV dying in an apparant suicide.”

Maybe Glitch heard that Pruneface is hiring.

What a twist today! Here I was (and, I think, many others among us were) expecting a fight scene between T-Bolt and Ygor Glitch, but instead he warns her that Bribery is blowing up and advises getting out while one can, as he is doing! This is a very unexpected turn (good story-telling!); and, since Glitch is Bribery’s computer guy, might this flight cripple or at least impede the usefulness of Matty Squared?

Happy birthday to Gweedo! I would have posted that earlier if posting was working for me then.

GoComics is very late today

Hey! Where’s today’s strip? This and all the others are from yesterday!

The big new is that Posie is confirmed dead.

Glitch seems like a sensible guy. Why invite more trouble for yourself when you’re already cutting and running?
