Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for December 06, 2019

Good morning™, second bananas (P. 1) !

I get the feeling the story will be shelved for now while Splits and Clybird regroup.

Lizz seems…awfully close, there.

Good morning™, scrapers!

Statements are taken. Have Steve and Mike finished with investigating this and handed it over to Tracy and his team? I suppose we will find out in the coming days.

Could Tulza Tuzon have spiked his bomb with some of the figure distorting acid that turned him into Splitface? Sam, Dick, and Steve each seem to be sporting SIX fingers!! Mike’s “rugged turtleneck of invincibility” apparently shielded him from the effects…

Good morning™, farting is such…uh, sorry, parting is such sweet sorrows!

They’re leaving?! We’re going to miss them!

Of course Mike had some scrapes of his own. He had his own run in Indian comic book series (which were essentially original strips run in a comic book format).

I wonder when Mike Nomad lost all of his lottery winnings? I remember that he won it once, but I think he lost it all at some point later on too… :-)

ZZZZZZ

I wonder where this is leading to??? I guess we will find out in the next few days!!!

Have you noticed Tracy is on a first name basis with a lot of people—Oliver, BO, Vitamin, Diet, Friday and now Steve Roper and Mike Nomad. But they all call him “Tracy”?

It’s always nice to deal with Professionals.

Hey – A rare appearance by Lizz! Tomorrow: a unicorn sighting! LOL j/k

I still think a market would exist for the MCU coffee mugs! I’ll take one!

1-SAM: I feel a lot better now. Thanks for asking.

CLUELESS: Ummm, I didn’t.

2-CLUELESS: Mmmmmm. This is good Joe, good java, good cuppa mud, good…

3-TRACY: Quit trying to show off! We know all the 40’s terms for coffee.

CAPTAIN OBLIVIOUS: Awh, leave him alone Tracy. He’s just practicing. Look at his haircut. Everything about him says ‘film noir’.

DOLL Hello boys…

TRACY: AIIIIIOOOOOGAAAA! My pants just boarded the ‘Streetcar Named Desire’! Open a window, my pants got ‘The Big Heat’. Oh baby, ‘This Gun’s For Hire!’ all right.

DOLL: If you say anything at all about a ‘Dark Passage’ you’ll find out that ‘Me Too’ is more than somebody’s response to “I think I want a doughnut"!!!

“We belong, we belong, we belong to the Mighty Marvel Comics Universe!”

Hands ARE hard to draw. Will the action continue tomorrow? Stay tuned for As the stomach Turns

Aww, Tracy! You didn’t introduce Lizz to Roper! And she was hoping!

But Mike and Roper will be around for a while, I think, while this Splitface caper sorts itself out. Plenty of room for action yet; we’ve just cleared away the paperwork and (implicitly) all the backstory. Now, on with the show!

it is awesome to see Steve Roper and Mike Nomad back and together with Dick Tarcy, Sam Catchem, Lizz Grove and other comrades. Thanks so much Joe Staton and Mike Curts! What a wonderful job!!! I was sent back to the 60’s and 70’s when I did not miss any of the Dick’s and Steve and Mike’s strips!!!!
