Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for December 28, 2018

Good morning™, detecting readers!

So, the Criminal Formerly Known as Haf-and-Haf has been subsumed as one-third of the new Splitface. It seems that his appearance has changed, so maybe he doesn’t have white hair on one side. I failed to find more than one former image in colour.

I do wonder why individual pictures could not have been taken.

Nice range of facial expressions today. ✨

Good morning™, squad room confabulators !

Sam and Lizz are very transfixed by the incredible tragedies that are haf ’n Haf.

I am considering what his face might look like now. And nice work again today in the panel set ups and body postures look normal and natural. Faces look real.

I would suspect that all such rooms are monitored so there should have been some filming of him no matter how poorly done unless he hid his face in the corridors.

Hmm, DID or Dissociative Identity Disorder is a difficult diagnosis but it doesn’t usually involve extreme changes in appearance. Although it’s been known to show behavior changes that could lend to slight physical changes. Such as a stooped over personality (old) or a child-like one. This may turn out quite interesting.

Did the boys wrap up this current story before or while we were commenting on the previous one?

Very interesting background on Splitface/Haf and Haf! I am staying tuned!

The staff here at BMBG now present the following for your listening pleasure:

Since when do inmates get to refuse having their photo taken?

So instead putting out an APB or whatnot, lets just sit around the squadroom talking about it.

Unless Pat did that already before entering the squadroom with his info

There just isn’t enough space to show all the little things we know they do. Of course there is an all points for him. Armed, dangerous etc.

Too bad the medical facility did’t have something like video surveillance cameras .

So, the three personas of Splitface somehow have managed to leave no current photos on record. Isn’t that convenient?!

It seems to me the last couple or so strips have been “front-end loading” information for this Splitface arc so that we won’t completely lose interest during the two-week Minit Mystery that is about to start (why now, I don’t know).

And, once more, over on that social networking site (whose name I decline to use), Mike announces: more crossovers are in the works. Something to which to look forward?
