Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for August 22, 2020

Delivered now from bondage, the captive is released

Coney’s cone lies melting and his gluttony has ceased.

Howdy Doody leaves in cuffs. He cries he’s not to blame

He’ll take the fall. That is all. The boss has rigged the game.

Only one loose end to tie. A treasure hunter’s rush

An upper tank did hold the loot. Pull chain it failed to flush.

Like Pacino in The Godfather, find something hidden there

Dethany weighed down with cash, the others have to stare.

Reunited with her love, our Goth gal does not preen

Plans ahead sans fear or dread to wed on Halloween.

Kick off a new “adventure” Sunday?

Maybe some of that reward can be used to give Dethany a few minutes in a tanning booth. Or a transfusion.

So how much does Dethany and her husband get to keep and where does the rest of the money go?

I just hope we dont get another two week Minute Mystery starting Sunday.

Good morning™, farewell party!

I know that many of you will also be happy to see them return back to Fastrack.

I have updated the live links bookmarklet at http://worldofdt.info/gchelp to embed videos from mobile YouTube URLs and pictures with a .jpeg extension (in addition to the more common .jpg one). This bookmarklet is suitable for both desktop and mobile browsers.

I think a lot of us will be glad to see Dethany return home to Fastrack.

From the shadows of yesterday..

@Gweedo it’s legal here Murray

“Locher’s work did not begin to suffer until the death of Mike Killian and he decided to take over both the writing as well as the art.”

Killian was going strong when I came on about the end of 2000. I was perfectly happy that we were still getting the oddball freak villains, like Oily and Boily. I was hoping to see the author’s reveal for a formula that promised fantastic gas mileage that we could actually try out for ourselves but i know it was a fool’s Gold of hope but hoped nonetheless.

The Buffalo paper stopped running Oop by the time my young self was introduced to the funny pages. Dad used to sing the Oop song when out in the car. Ever notice how dad’s are subdued with all the craziness you get, when Mom is around ?

Good morning™, last rounder uppers !

Should we shed a happy tear at all this pretty bow tied package of an ending ?

Now, just wait a doggone minute!

Isn’t the money evidence? Since when do they get to take evidence home? And then there’s the restitution – the original owners of the money that was stolen. Where do they come in?

And then, there was the mass gaggle of cops from across the country, just to shake down the ice cream eating clown.

On a good note: This does look wrapped up. Hopefully, something new tomorrow!

Ye Gads! thank goodness this is over!

The story was so bad it doesn’t deserve a poem!

Bringing back reruns ofLocher’s last few years would be less painful!

artsyguy65 about 2 hours ago@iggymanNo, Avenger09 used the correct title for the long-running soap opera parody on “The Carol Burnett Show.”

Thank you for taking the time to research rather than just post lame insults like the others did!

So the only reason Dethany left Guy still bound is because she wanted to pee.

The money should go straight into the crime victims’ compensation fund…

Aren’t they going to arrest the realtor?

A happy ending!

“Just like a ghost, you’ve been haunting my dreams, so I’ll propose on Halloween—” Classics IV.

I really hope in a new, long, storyline in the next days.

Called it!

For some reason I think it should be the name of their home town he said “back to”. Don’t know why it bugs me since I failed school, including English. It’s as if Mike or Joe didn’t know where Fastrack was set in.

But I do know that if he’s asking a question of them, there’s suppose to be a question mark at the end not a period.

Meanwhile, back in the MCU office….

Dethany Dendrobia and Guy Wyre rejoice in their happy reunion and get back to Fastrack Inc. and planning the Great Halloween Wedding [see today’s On the Fastrack for some hint of what it will be like— https://tinyurl.com/yxtuy3a7 ]. Tracy and his team have resolved yet another case, bringing burlesque villains Coney and Company to the hall of justice. But, of course, the real stinker, Alex Wilson, just fades back into his shady underworld-front life.

Such is Justice in Tracyville….

Bah!!! Move it along!!! People!!!

How embarassing…. Stooge Viller’s legacy was in the crapper.

I hope to see Dick Tracy at their marriage.

Dick sure looks different in P. 1. He may need to hit the men’s room and is hoping that company will soon be gone.

What a lovely expression, in p2. I hope there will be a dual crossover for Guy/Deathany’s wedding!

There were millions of dollars in that one crapper?

Only if they were all $1000 bills.

SHE owns the warehouse. Couldn’t she have rehid the millions until the heat died down?

If they honeymoon at the beach, Dethany will either finally get some color or disappear in a ball of fire. Win either way for Guy.

Just so you’re all aware… my story “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend” is just about to wrap up.

The antagonist has been apprehended and the loose ends are coming together, and I have some ideas for my “next outing” (admittedly, SOME of you may not like what I’m planning tho) but there will be some BIG changes in Tracyville…. OH BOY WILL THERE BE BIG CHANGES!

There will be appearances by characters I havent used yet, and maybe…. just MAYBE the return of a villain or two.

< P>I’ll let y’all know when I post it

https://readcomiconline.to/Comic/Dick-Tracy *Here’s a very good sampling of classic Dick Tracy and how a lot of us remember him…….

I hope they use that to mention the DT-side of the crossover in Fastrack.

Note Howdy’s eyes on the screen – I think we haven’t seen the last of him!

1-DT: I got hat-hair. SAM: Yeah. That’s why I never take mine off.

2-DETH WARMEDOVER: I’m solving that problem by slowly losing mine!

3-GUY PRONOUNCED GEE: Mr. Traceee. I wood like to hire you as, how you say, private deek. Miss Warmedover say we must get mar-ried because I have impregnated hur though we have never had ze relatsionz…

DT: Sorry Gee. That’s the way it works around here. Plus it gets me off the hook. So, good luck to you both.

GEE: Why deed I effer leaf Can-a-daaa!?!?! DT: I guess everybody wants a little taste of American drama, danger, divisiveness sometime Gee. GEE: No. I seemply got in ze wrong lane in Windsor and voila!

Yes

No ice cream in prison right? Not for Coney anyway

How does Guy know there’s a reward?

Use the money to pay for hair transplants for Dethany.

Coney, Howdy & the realtor will be busy entertaining Tiny, Bubba & the gang in Cellblock D for a while. As for Shaggy, He decided to visit his cousin Rocky at Camp Swampy.

What is not clear to me….how could money be stored in a toilet for over seven decades and still be in mint condition? No mildew? Seriously? The next story has to be better. I am glad to have found GoComics. My hometown newspaper only carries Tracy from Monday to Saturday. He got dropped from the Sunday comics section. During the weekdays, panels have been shrunk to sizes slightly larger than a postage stamp. Has anyone else on this forum experienced something similar with their hometown newspaper?

Next week – Ju Jitsu takes on the protesters in Portlamd!

a wedding on Halloween …… that’s one way to save on medical masks.
