Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for August 14, 2020

“It’s an ice cream truck! Get out of the way before Coney runs you over!!”

“Look?”

Leave it to Coney to find an all-night ice cream joint.

Also, Sam looks a little like the Green Hornet with the shadowing effect.

Good morning™, everyone!

Opportunity never knocks twice! You have to take the opportunity when it presents itself.

Tracy is ready to start moving in, but what does Dethany see? Suspense!

“It’s Guy!”

“Hey Babe.”

“What are you doing out here?”

“Coney sent me out for some ice cream. They were out of Chunky Monkey though, so I got Cookie Dough. Think he’ll be mad?”

Coney with the same Ice Cream?

We’d hardly recognize Coney from this distance if he did not have his attribute (as they say in art history).

But what has Dethany spotted at the last second before the raid was to begin?

We won’t know until the Saturday strip, at the earliest. Does that mean the raid takes place, or is called off, on Sunday?

Find out in the next exciting episode offfff……. Dick Tracy! (And friends)

Love Dethany panel 3!

Nice shadowing in the last panel. The brims from their hats making it look like they’re wearing masks. Must’ve taken clues from artists who drew the Shadow.

What dwells in yonder alley???

Now what???

Fritz is wearing her “Tracy” jaw this evening

Taking a civilian to a highly dangerous police operation is a bad mistake.

“It’s Friday!” she says. “We can’t do anything until Sunday!”

Her boyfriend perilously tied to something outside of warehouse?

Look, it’s the money! Just sticking out from those cracks! Coney was right all along! Well, I’ll be!

1-MARLAYNA HOOVER: DAG! Doesn’t anyone around here get undressed with the shades up?

2-DT: Lemme try. MARLAYNA: NO! This Captain’s Spyglass is the latest in FBI technology. It was specially designed by FBI tech wizard, Patch Jones.

DT: Why do they call him Patch? MARLAYNA: Idiot.

3-DETH WARMEDOVER: I think I see some skin – OVER THERE!

DT: Not so fast. It’s not ghostly white is it? I don’t think I could handle any more of that…

Yeah Neil, I won’t sleep all night wondering what Zombie Lady sees. It’s probably some long dead Gould character. Maybe Sam will take off that mask and reveal he’s really Clayton Moore

Please don’t tell me I have to wait ‘till next week to see Coney get “his”. Don’t listen to that silly Dethany! Go get the bad guys!

I don’t understand why Tracy would let Dethany, who is a civilian, go into a situation where there is sure to be shooting. I would have thought that he would have made her stay back with a uniformed officer. Just because you wear a trench coat in 100 degree weather and a big slouch hat does not mean that you are a member of the MCU.

It’s Coney – and he’s got a double-barrelled frozen custard machine! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!
