Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 08, 2018

Good morning™, gas gun victims!

Good morning™, gassed out left behinds !

This one awta rouse sleeper cell 09 ! :D

I don’t remember the radio series. Considering how much gas was used in 1960s Batman, I have often wondered whether the Green Hornet ’s gas tricks were borrowed from the other Dozier show…

Whew! I’m glad they didn’t end this story prematurely like they sometimes do. This Green Hornet angle should be good.

Well, to those who wondered why Topper got out and Tracy didn’t, clearly because Green Hornet planned it that way. He specifically aimed for Tracy.

I’m still wondering how the guy from last Monday fits in.

Is that a Studebaker?

In order for Topper’s extortion scheme to work he needs to squeeze all the owners of the PC’s who have space rented out to the banks. So, Tracy, sooner, or, later Topper must return. (Unless the Hornet gets enough evidence to let you arrest Topper, and/or his financiers.)

Go Green Hornet you’re the best. Remember this show on radio as kid in 40s.

“Sorry Tracy I cant tell you where they went because it all happened too fast, but I CAN tell you what happened inside the house because (even tho there was a rather quickly dispersing) green gas cloud I saw it ALL!”

So much for my guess that Tracy let the Hornet go

Anybody heard from Still Da Avenger?

What’s today’s final score?

Left behind and/or woozy: Dick Tracy, Sam Catchem, Jarman.

Escaped/fled: Topper and Wally, Green Hornet and Red Wasp.

Still unaccounted for: Johnny.

Tomorrow’s game: the Hornet’s next move. Topper on the run….

If a lot of us know that the Hornet is likely to “hit the gas” and leave in The Black Beauty, why didn’t Tracy? Should have had at least one back-up car, and a helicopter.

Or was the appropriate information missing from Britt Reid’s file?
