Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for April 04, 2020

I’d wager that the crane operator has been told to leave the beam in midair until he surrenders the gun.

Good morning™, target audience!

Will the perpetrator in a precarious position make the right decision? Tune in tomorrow.

Pretty decent shot, given all of that shaking. ✨

“Okay then, we’re leaving. Best of luck!”

Shooting going on and the construction dudes are just hanging out?

Just another ridiculous day in Tracy’s neighborhood.

Ray Toler threw a jab about 1 hour ago

@Gweedo it’s legal here Murray

No doubt about it, clear case of the cornyvirus.

You guys are sooo infectious !

I do a last scan before turning the page.

Good morning™, trapped high wire actors !

You could throw yourself down. We’ve got all day.

Good morning™, dawdling decision-makers!

Reminds me of the classic Jack Benny skit where a mugger threatens Jack, saying “Your money or your life.” no response “Look pal, I said your money or your life!” To which Jack finally retorts “I’m thinking it over!”

Shaky drops the gun, it hits the concrete & goes off, & by sheer chance, the bullet hits Tracy.

Sam almost found out about Shaky’s gun the hard way……….

Shaky: “Let me save you the trouble, Tracy! I’ll come down the easy way!”

Tracy: “No duh, Sam! Now would like to try for the bonus question?!”

Shouldn’t it be “and we’ll let you down safely” since he did shoot his wife while trying to kill him?

How can a guy that constantly shakes aim a gun properly?

What was your first clue, Sam?

Well, he’s shown himself to be an excellent decision maker so far, so I think Shaky should trust his instincts.

“We’ll let you down safely.”

(Conditions apply.)

Oh, he swings thru the air with the greatest of ease……..!!!

Shaky, you were supposed to be intelligent.

Not so sure about that Top of the world, Ma! moment… are we?

Riffin’ On This Overdue Library Book

1-SAM: EWWWW! HE’S SPITTING AT US TRACY!

2-DT: STOP THAT JAY! IT’S NASTY! HEADPHONE GUY: Somebody say somethin’…?

3-JAY BOGART: Damn, that didn’t work. Time to try the Blazing Saddles ruse CLEAR OUT TRACY OR I’LL SHOOT THE…oops… didn’t think that through…

Anybody who said yesterday that he wouldn’t be able to get off a shot was proven wrong today huh? He nearly offed sam

Uh oh. He still has that gun we knew he had because he shot your wife.

Tracy criminals are superhuman (or normal for fantasy) no more pain from the bullet wound and no muscle damage impairing his dexterity.

Anyone keeping count of the shots vs the number in a clip? When I hear six in an old western I know what is next.

A bit of poor judgement on Shakey’s part. Exactly where did he think he would be going to escape?

swing the crane a little

I thought when Shaky threatened Tess he was right handed.

Would love the see the artwork if they bring in a sniper and take Shaky out.

Maybe he’ll stumble and shoot himself, ala Shoulders’ demise.

Some months ago I read in these comments that Mike was seriously ill. Does anyone know how he made out?

Great art. The rest…No comment

Edison!, (sobbing), Edison come back!

Where’s a pier when you need it?

Oh, for a lightning bolt…

The crane operator should have taken him for a ride: get him swinging, spinning… then leave him hanging over the work site, as high as the crane goes.

Shaky has not established a reputation for making Good Decisions. But, one way or another, he is coming dow!

“I’m THINKING, I’m THINKING!”

Edison is going to have to find a new vibrator.

I love the Plenty family being back but I assume that BO and Gertie have a TV and possibly a computer where they could find this stuff out. Ditto Sparkle. Just nit picking, maybe, if so Mea Culpa.
