Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for March 27, 2018

This is going to be gruesome…like Gould gruesome…

Couldn’t have happened to a better villain!

Into the drink …? ✨

What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

I still would have liked Ghost to have been fleshed out before this splashy exit!

Ghost didn’t have shoes?

Good morning™, dangerous catwalkers!

Ghost is losing his balance. I think he’s done for.

I have no further comment at the moment about the geography of the rooms in the Aquarium. My idea of the storage closet being inside the room with the big tank might be viable.

Maybe Ghost won’t fall in the tank with the siphonophore. Maybe he’ll find himself with a more appropriate aquatic creature…..a shark.

Not a ghost of a chance this will end well.

Will this be a haunting death?

Get ready for a GULP.

if this is his end… a bit of poetic justice; murder by blowfish poision, death by “jellyfish” poison…

Well, let’s see; dizzy from loss of blood, barefoot and walking a slippery catwalk over a tank with a giant jellyfish – what will happen? The suspense!

Who doesn’t sleep barefoot with a bowtie?

LOL!

I’m reminded of the big fish tank scene from “Ace Ventura, Pet Detective.”

For a closet that doesn’t even show on the building’s plans, there is sure a lot of traffic here.

As usual a thousand days are spent getting us to this point and now we’re getting a Super Dee Duper rushed ending. Someone needs to teach the boys about pacing!

Poor ol’ jellyfish. It’s gonna get indigestion from too much Ghost Pepper. ;-)

Will this be our second death by marine monsters since Mike and Joe took over?

When GP falls into the tank, will Manuel say to himself ugh (I don’t want to get what this guy’s got) or yowsza (a peppery vanilla treat) – guess it doesn’t matter, either way he still stings the sh-t out of him. As Ghost is fond of saying, enjoy the journey…

Mmmmm… a spicy hot meal for once.

And another joker is born. Hey! Could happen.

The MCU isn’t even responsible for this sting operation.

Watch out for that first step – it’s a real looloo!

Hmm, I see why some people are duplicating. GoComics has a bug, a BUG! (giggles)

(in a William Conrad voice):

“Be sure to see our next episode, Stingin’ in the Drain, or Tanks for the Memories.”

Another species of siphonophore, Praya dubia, is one of the longest animals in the world, with a body length of 40–50 m (130–160 ft).3 The term originates from the Greek siphōn “tube” + pherein “to bear”.4 Wikipedia

Changing the subject (thankfully) I wonder how many original MPH named Magpies are left?

(If you have to ask what an MPH named Magpie is then you’re definitely not one!)

I can’t be alone in the world!!!

What a way for Monsieur Ghost to meet Manuel.

Lunch time!!

Lunch time!!

So, Ghost will soon be a ghost.

“The exit at the end of the catwalk”? In the “closet” not even on the blueprints, with the keycard entry? Uhh, say again?

Or the HUGE room with the giant tank for Manuel the Siphonophore (his name fits his “Portuguese man o’ war” designation, more or less)?

So, the barefoot boy with the bleeding shoulder wound stood, but not for long, on the slippery wooden catwalk. I’ll take the plunge (so to speak). He’s going to fall in and be hideously stung to death by Manuel!

I guess in the end Ghost Pepper was simply…expendable.

Lame.
