So Dick has run the car into a small ocean using his ‘power approach’ and, after surviving that and swimming to shore, the water is rising. How is Dick going to get out of this one? And more importantly, how in the World will he come out looking good?
Locher must think he has another clever way for Thick to escape drowning. Next week Thick (rhymes with) inflates Mordred and rides him like a raft. The week after that Thick’s coat reappears so he can use it as a sail. Week three, Mordred springs a leak and Thick must blow him up again. Much innuendo occurs when Mordred calls Thick a blowhard.
Panel #1: “You’re as wrong as ever, you evil serial killer.”
Panel #2: “The water is not rising.”
Panel #3: “The land is sinking!”
And in panel #3 we will see a vaguely human silhouette emerge from the storm. It’s Agent Norton with next week’s insane plot twist. The storm is part of an evil secret government project to do nasty things to the weather and they need Dr. Mordred to fix it.
BB, when are you going to explain to us what is really happening and what it means? You used to do that for us. Locher has returned to weaving a tale that is much too complicated and intricate for normal unimportant plebes to grasp. We used to have the Praetorian Guard to look to for the deserved appreciation. But, alas (sigh), we now look to you. What is happening?
“Drat”? Who says that anymore? I’m guessing that Locher saw an old Terry-Thomas movie, heard some upper-class twit say “drat”, and decided it was just the sort of thing that Tracy should say.
Reminds me of the scene right before the sudden flood from the movie, “Oh Brother Where Art Thou”………..
I suppose Sunday’s strip and for weeks to come, panel after panel will show them being carried away underwater to who knows where ………….oh brother…..
When are we going to SEE that smart guy that Mordred is talking to? I know it saves drawing, but it’s a lazy way out. I hate it when important characters are out of frame.
Thank you, BB! NOW, I understand it better. Now it’s beginning to make sense and that translates into readership numbers. Locher has a cryptic way of presenting his artful work that only a priveledged few understand and get the secret message.
We, the uninitiated and ignorant, see Tracy as a bumbling fool - while in reality, he’s a Pro’s pro!
Next week they encounter Noah as he finishes loading the ark. The old man looks at them, shakes his head and says “Too late, we already have a pair of idiots. Or have you two just come from Babel? Is that why your language is confused beyond understanding?”
Nice one BASSMANBOB6! Itd be much more interesting to watch Dick do a soft shoe routine in the middle of this monsoon, Mordred escape and then the two of them have a dance battle.

Not that Locher will start trying, much less keep on trying.

Is the flood the size of TX and NM combined? Then they are in Australia! They’d better watch out for the crocodiles and poisonous snakes…

Where’s Sam and the gang from HDQTRS? I thought they were donning their all-weather gear and heading for the flooded intersection to rescue Tracy?

Why don’t you shoot the rain, Spacy? Maybe you can scare it off.

Tomorrow Thick scores one on Mordred:
Panel #1: “You’re as wrong as ever, you evil serial killer.”
Panel #2: “The water is not rising.”
Panel #3: “The land is sinking!”

All DT and Dr. M. have to be wary of are crocodiles and poisonous snakes, but we have to beware the Locher-ness monster.

They’ve been on dry land since Jan 3 (see that day and yesterday) and now they’re going back in for a dip to cool off after walking so far?
Or did you forget something? One of Mordred chains? Thick’s coat and hat? (I was really attached to that…)

The water is rising, that means at some point, “Dip Stick - I mean Tracy” will have to remove Mordred’s chains so he won’t drown.
With luck, Mordred will then kill Tracy, thus ends the Dick Tracy comic strip
or
“New Scene”
Tracy is all wet, coming out of the shower, like Bobby Ewing, looking at Tess.
It was a “DREAM”

Modred better watch his step….Tracy possesses SUPER STRENGTH….plus, he has a GUN.
Geeze….this particular story is exceptionally LAME.
