Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 22, 2018

Is the Doc anyone we should know? ✨

Good morning™, patients!

Maybe Tracy should have warned Pat to be on the alert.

Good morning™, determined detectives !

I wouldn’t wanna get on the wrong end of Sam. That guy looks like he is building up to ‘bursting pressure’.

Good Moaning all. Sam is too busy to rest. He’s rested too much already.

I wonder if Lee Ebony has been warned. I’m sure she has to be right after Dick Tracy on Mr. Bribery’s short “Hit List”.

Ouch! Wouldn’t putting on that hat over the bandage hurt?

Don’t think Sawtooth knows that Lee was working under cover. He cleared out before Bribery was busted. Bribery may not even know yet, or why didn’t he have a contract out on her?

How is the reflection in panel 2 possible. Sam’s hand is in the way??

“Dr.Greenwood” another just-off-style character — another shoutout to a person from IRL?

Although the coloring here de-emphasizes it, Sam still has a noticeable shiner (left eye) from his Close Encounter with Sawtooth’s fist. I don’t know who the RL Dr. Greenwood might be, but she does seem to be a portrait rather than just a cartoon creation. And while Sam gets on the alert, Julie should probably retreat to some safer location than at her Dad’s side. But now it is Sawtooth who is being pursued; in that sense, the momentum and advantage have shifted….

Among other inconsistencies, in panel 3 Sam is wearing a bow tie, in panel 2 he is not. Given the circumstances, “not” is the better choice.

As for the first panel, Sam is not all right. He has had a concussion, as evidenced by his getting knocked out. And Sawtooth and the artists could have done a better job by breaking Sam’s nose. Sam might have also suffered some minor fracturing of the bones around his eye(s).
