Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for March 11, 2020

Good morning™, escapists!

Do we know this house?

How can you know a location is a safe house But you don’t know who lives there???

Makes no sense (like this whole story)

Trying to jar my memory……there was a scene like this before in Tracy……going to a bad guys house to get fixed……

Good morning™, emergency commandeered med facilities !

Any port in a storm for the frantically injured.

I wish they had pulled into Sunny Dell Acres. :-D

Does he have something stashed there the people living there do not know about?

Poor Shaky has a flesh wound…serves him right. That’s what he gets, going after Tracy and his family, and choosing a life of crime and revenge. With any luck, he’ll develop sepsis and die from his injury. What I want to know is, will Tess Tracy pull through? She’s worth a million Shakys. I hope they don’t leave us hanging.l

If, in fact, he’s about to burst in on unsuspecting innocent homeowners, then it certainly proves that he is as big and scummy as his namesake, despite his trying to convince us that he’s a more peaceful and refined villain.

There is something for sure about this house, it holds a secret we don’t know about, occupied or not!!!

I guess Airbnb also lists safe houses. I wonder who’s inside – Mumbles? Doubleup? The ghost of Flattop?

Edison seems to have gotten a hair cut while waiting for Shaky

Riff…(losing interest in this and you know what I mean if you’ve read this far)

1-WHATSRNAME: I guess nobody else noticed the toilet paper on Blondie’s shoe yesterday. I thought it was pretty funny. JAY BOGART: It used to be until all the late-night talk shows showed the president dragging a strip up the steps of Air Force One. Now it’s a fashion statement.

2-JAY: Would ya look at that. The set director built a house…

3-WHATSRNAME: Looks like we may have a happy ending in spite of you now being a criminal. Let’s get married and raise a family here!

JAY: Let’s not and say we did.

WHATSRNAME: Yeah, my Dad used to tell me that all the time when I was a kid. It wasn’t funny then either…

“Tracy’s an overblown cop with a lot of luck.It’s got to run out sometime”

Perhaps “Mr.Wobbly” would care to rephrase that statement?It looks like a modest dwelling—-and this longtime fan doesn’t recognize it.Mrs.B.b>Eyes—Itchy house didn’t have pillars.

A “Safe House” is a known safe location where you can hide. A house occupied by strangers is a hostage situation…

Well, it was a safe house.

Suggestions for productions at Patterson Playhouse

1.)THE BAT—-Mary Roberts Rinehart’s old “creepy house” novel/play,which Bob Kane always said was partial inspiration for a certain masked crimefighter.Just caught up with 1959 Vincent Price version on DVD.

2.)Noel Coward’s PRESENT LAUGHTER,about a famous ham actor who is being driven crazy by the demands of fame.But if nobody had ever heard of him,he’d be even MORE miserable. That’s Vitamin Flintheart to a “T”.

Edison’s hair has gotten shorter and less messy. How does she put up with Shaky 2?

He knows because he has a gun. And note what he says about who lives there. Those people are not safe.

A nice little house in the country (sort of). If some folks live in it, that’s their problem. Indeed, the very definition of a “Safe House”!

I am almost as puzzled as Edison is callous (despite her cute little “Oh, Shaky” in panel 2, she flips Bad Boys on short notice and without a second thought; if or when Shaky buys the farm, she will swiftly move on to the next Thrill)…..

Ok… who wants me to write the next installment(s) of “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend” over the weekend? ;)
