Gocomics shrank our avatars when you right click to view them. The large version is still there, and I finally figured out how to see them in full size. Right click on the avatar, then select View Image (or Open image in new tab). When the image (smaller version) opens, delete the “Large_” at the end of the address, then refresh.

just another fun filled case for Dick Tracy, lets see left to freeze in the great outdoors ,whacked on the head with a rolling pin handcuffed to the back end of a car goog times keep a coming
February 28th Sam and Tracy are sitting together in the MCU Office when Sam says that theres a dinner at the Winrock Estate that two of Ghost’s chef’s are catering Tracy says its a political dinner and that he will drop by and ask some questions that wont take long.
OBVIOUSLY they didn’t think Ghost would be there, but Sam KNOWS where Tracy is and WHY he would have let him go on his own makes ZERO sense whatsoever.
Ghost says its a 20 mile drive but he DOESNT say that he is driving Tracy back to the City. Tracy was knocked unconscious, so apparently the bumps woke him up, but I seriously doubt he’d have the wherewithal to suddenly call for help. I’d think the first thing you would think of is OUCH THIS REALLY HURTS lol
So Sam really shouldn’t be surprised or even need to ask where Tracy is since he knew he was going to confront the chefs at the dinner… but what kind of partner would allow their other half to go question two “persons of interest” on his own? Shoddy police work
Other than killing Simon (for which we do not know his motivation), we do not know what other criminal enterprises Ghost is mixed up in or why he would be so proactive about killing Tracy. We actually know very little about him or his illegal activities.
1) Grab lower trailer ball with free hand (we saw earlier that there was a lower ball on the hitch)2) Pull self closer to vehicle, so handcuff is loose on upper trailer ball.3) Slip handcuff off upper ball.4) Let go of lower ball.Successful escape accomplished.
The character design of Ghost is very reminescent of Shaky in appearance. Shaky was required to take nerve tonic for his shakes while Ghost uses nerve toxin to commit his murders. Both the Shaky story and the Ghost tale take place during a snowy winter. Shaky eventually shivered to death and suffocated while hiding in a hole at the waterfront (Shaky shook to death—an appropriate, grisly, and ironic Gould ending). What will happen to Ghost in the mountains? Note: Shaky was the father of Breathless Mahoney and the uncle of Quiver Trembly. Does Ghost have any criminal relatives?
There are also some similarities to the Wormy story which took place during Tracy’s honeymoon with Tess at the Winter-Sun Resort while Tacy confronts Ghost at the Winrock mansion—both in the North Woods. Wormy also dragged Tracy behind his car (although in Wormy’s case it was Tracy’s foot that was tied to the car not his arm). Wormy hid out in the home of Ted Tellum, who did not inform police because he wanted the story for his radio show. I wonder if Tellum will make an appearance here? Note: When Wormy was eventually released from prison, he began dating Dewdrop and partnered with Measles on an armored car robbery. (He also dated Thistle Dew and I think the characters of Dewdrop and Thistle Dew have been somewhat conflated over the years through various writers). Measles has died since Mike and Joe took over the strip. Wormy is presumed killed in a fire ( http://www.gocomics.com/dicktracy/2011/3/21 ).
Gweedo just called,,,NIght-Guant just called him,,,NG is in the hospital with an infected middle toe on his left foot. He is awaiting surgery to amputate the toe and will be in the hospital for up to a week,,most likely 3 – 5 days after surgery for observation. He is hoping someone can bring him a charger to use, then he can charge his phone, and remain in loose contact with Gweedo, who will forward information thru current channels.
IMHO this strip would benefit greatly if it had some humor. Bring back dear BO & Gertie. Also Attitude. Even DL featured the old dears fairly frequently.

Good morning™, helpers!
Looks like Sam is about to take a 20-mile drive. I suppose the Wrist Wizards really are voice activated, as someone here recently suggested.

This Ghost is a crazy wicked dude. He will get his just desserts I am sure.

The road is extremely curvy and probably extremely slick.

I’m betting the Ghost is about to drive off of the road, into a tree or something, and Tracy will end up rescuing him.
Sisyphos over 6 years ago
Well, that call got Sam’s attention!
Can Sam respond quickly enough to save Tracy’s life?
Or must we anticipate some deus ex machina to rescue the Famous Yellow Trench Coat before it becomes all red-stained?…
In either case, Ouch! Owie! Help!
