Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 06, 2011

Good morning all…

Great stuff, but I gotta ask: When did Jimmy Olsen get a sex change?

Tony Rockyhorror, snerk!

Good morning, VB!

Amid the Goldilocks talk about the pacing, we’ve ignored the look of the villains. Don’t classic DT villains always look unattractive at best? So why does Hot Rize has this Marlene Dietrich/Annie Lennox vibe when she should look like … uh … what in hell am I complaining about?

Mike Curtis, Please read my ‘thank you’ comment of yesterday. :-)

Wow….big time drug dealing doing cocaine at 200 pounds a delivery….didn’t know Naperville had that many drug fiends.

Tracy has his work cut out for him on this caper….

I sure hope Gravel Gertie isn’t baking cookies today.

So the evil henchman was so coked out, he accidentally delivered 200 pounds of cocaine to the Plenty household?

I’ll bet Gertie’s making up some cocaine biscuits as we speak! Sure hope she doesn’t let her baby sample them!

There’s no business like snow business, it’s like no business I know. (grin)

Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

Ms. Hot didn’t “Rise to the Occasion” in the delivery of the goods. It seems as if their plans are “Half Baked”

I guess we will have to wait for Saturdays panels, as they are still in the “Proofer”

——————————————

Maybe Gertie will make something special from her flour and drop it off at Police Headquarters for Tracy and the gang.

It reminds me of the episode of Barney Miller when Wojo’s new girlfriend made Hash Brownies and he brought them to the precinct and everyone got high.

Now, if everyone gets stoned, the Plenty baby might look beautiful.

Parents in Dick Tracy Land really give their kids weird names.

And it’s amazing how often those weird names turn out to be strangely prophetic.

Well it’s good to see Tony Rockyhorror got work after Marcellus Wallace pushed him out the window. I wonder if he ever gave Hot Rize a “foot massage”?

Fer Lefer said Will Tony Rockyhorror look like Tim Curry?

I’m thinking Samoan, with a speech impediment.

Tony Rockyhorror. This just gets better and better!

Safeway,…moochie, moochie… Barney Miller best cop show ever!

Tony RockyHorror, hmm…

I shiver with Antici…

Pation!

Where’s Dick ! ?

BillThompson: Don’t forget Breathless Mahoney. It’s OK to be attractive if you’re a female Dick Tracy villain.

I’m actually getting a Crewy Lou vibe from Ms. Rize.

Hey Margueritem, thanks for the post!

I’m afraid you folks will always be finding little injokes with names and places. It’s just the way we work in Tracytown.

I don’t know if Tony Rockyhorror gave Hot Rize a foot massage, but if he’s sent to Gravel Gertie’s and her shoes are off….

Now there’s a scary thought.

Where to start……… where to start……… First of all, Happy B-Day, Aunt Marg! I, too, am a May baby, but I have 4 yrs on you! Secondly, your tribute to Mike and Joe is as heartfelt as can be. I second it. Originally, we all met here to throw rotten tomatoes at “the L word” and his sycophants for maiming the hero we all grew up worshiping. We now revel in its mastery. Finally, I hear from GoComics that they have completed a detailed analysis of their subscribers and those with impeccably clean minds and backgrounds will be the only ones allowed to have avatars. Sorry, y’all!

Happy Birthday to you as well, Morrow! Thanks Mike & Safeway, I keep going back and forth between, Pulp Fiction quotes and saying moochie, moochie all day. It’s drivin’ my boss nuts. :-D I guess I’ll never get an avatar….

From (soft) hash brownies to (hard) snow biscuits…the gateway theory of baked goods.

Happy Birthday Marg. Many many many many many more!!!

Hey, Safeway674, one could say that Ms. Hot Rise was LOAFING in the delivery of the goods………which is a very CRUMMY mov e.

Great Stuff! And the Pouch is still at large! The only Gould Villian to get away!

Yet again proving evil doers can’t trust their trusted couriers…

Tony Rockyhorror lost 200 pounds of cocaine! YIKES! That’s a whole week’s supply for Charley Sheen!

I have the feeling Tony’s going to make his debut and farewell appearance in the same day’s strip.

One question: What’s Naperville? I always thought Tracy was in Chicago?

Not only breathless but Sleet, Texie Garcia, Nilon Hoze, Autumn Hews, The Kitten Sisters Mrs. Prunf…oops sorry

Tony RockyHorror, mention in Dick Tracy, I don’t believe it, but I read it.

Happy birthday to you, too Morrow! Mine’s towards the end of the month, but thanks to all who already offered good wishes. :-)

T.Y., Aunt Marg! Now how about the avatar?

kreniigh and mumbles, thanks for reminding me that not all Tracy villains are hideous.

I was going to search for images of DT villains, when this well-timed link showed up on the Frog Applause blog:

Correction: the only male Gould Villain to get away.

And I can think of another female villain who wasn’t bad-looking…

@BillThompson - Thanks for the cool link
