Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for July 27, 2019

Good morning™, thespians!

So, this is Doc Limpp’s day job. It sounds like trouble. The flies have left him alone for a minute, so things are looking up in that department, but I don’t suppose it will last.

I do agree with Kandikane that this is a particularly appropriate role for Vitamin.

Well, this is an interesting development!

Good morning™, purveyors of doom and their hapless victims !

That’s sum bucktoof(s) he’s sporting in P. 3.

He may have lineage to the rodents. Maybe even beavers.

Let’s hope VS does a better job of playing the narrator than Spalding Gray did in that Broadway production three decades ago! (In one of his monologue films he talks about all the bad reviews his performance got…)

What no flies? He finally took a bath!

Oh, so I guess stinky little creep tries to kill Dick Tracy at the theatre, but his half alien adopted grand daughter zaps the villain with her little alien antennae and saves the day. Whoops, I hope that wasn’t a spoiler!

“There were no flies on Mr. Limpp that day…”

Ah! So the plot thickens…!

It’s too hard to get a job like that with a fake name. For UPS Christmas package running, I had to provide my SSN and driver’s license. How much harder would it be to work alongside a famous actor?

I guess his first name is Noodle, and in a roll call it’s Limpp, Noodle!!!

Hope Vitamin doesn’t get caught up in Doc’s “other plans” (that he tried to eliminate Tracy from interfering with)…

the plot thickens

For all those who questioned if or how yesterday’s “detour” tied into the story arc, I believe we have our answer.

I hope the theatre doesn’t blow up again.

Ol’ Vitamin just draws ’em like… flies.

And Flintheart still has that magnetic charm that attracts criminals….

1- If you were performing in The Old Man And The Sea, guess which part you would play? 2- SUGAR DADDY formerly identified as TRACY’S DAD: Very clever darling. Come now. I have a surprise for you… 3- …this is Dr. Limp. He has degrees in dentistry and psychiatry. He’s going to both fix those cavities AND cure that oral fixation you have darling. BARBER POLE: I thought you liked that last one Sugar Daddy. SUGAR DADDY: And see what you can do about those inappropriate comments Dr. Limp. BARBER POLE: If we were in a play right now you could perform the role of Dr. Limp, Sugar Daddy. SUGAR DADDY: Work on the inappropriate comments first. PLEASE!!!

Oops.

Exciting??

Seldom any mention of Tess, Joe, Sparkle, Jr., Jewel, BO. Did I leave any out?

“Snow” can refer to Heroin as well as Cocaine…

Da da da dum!

Now it comes together, and not necessarily for the better. “Little Doc” Limpp as the floor manager (I think same thing as stage manager?) for Our Town cannot bode well either for the new Flintheart family or for the Tracy family (sure to in the audience at some point).

Ther was nothing about drug-dealing Little Doc to suggest a professional theatre interest, but this is nonetheless a neat tie-in!

Love the artwork today. Especially #2 with the shadows!!

Looks like Flintheart’s ability to bring out the bad guys is at it again!
