Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for August 26, 2020

It takes a magician to catch a magician?

What if Emilio was ‘the guy’ ?… :-O

Good morning™, unassuming theater maintenance crew !

I hope Emilio does not become an innocent victim in Tracy and Vitamin’s search for this “Presto” character. What if Emilio has a secret life as an art ransomer ?

Good morning™, theatre-goers!

Perchance, Emilio does remember “Presto.” We’ll see.

This doesn’t seem to be Flintheart’s usual haunt. I assume there is a reason it is called the Armstrong. I don’t suppose that Mayor Armstrong owns it, but I don’t know a reason why the name is new.

I wonder if this Emilio knows Dr. Emilio Lizardo of Buckaroo Bonzai infamy? You know, like from when they’re hanging with Mr. Estevez and the gang at the monthly meetings of the Lega di Emilios…

Janitors are always, “invisible” till someone wants something!!!

“To Kill a Mockingbird” is being staged at The Armstrong Theater, ehh? I guess Mayor Armstrong has the same kind of influence in Tracyville that other local political warlords have and is cementing her brick-and-mortar legacy even while still in office (oh, sure, it might thinly disguised as “honoring great uncle Jack Armstrong, the all-American boy,” but we get the real meaning). But I digress.

Vitamin enters and immediately engages with Emilio, who is becoming a more intriguing character, as several commenters have already noted in their speculations….

Pretty stimulating story so fa,,,,,,ZZZZzzzzz,,,

Well, Still Da Man, you have to admit, the “talking heads” part of the story is already over – and it’s only Wednesday!

On a similar note, this IS the artwork we SHOULD have had for Dethany and Coney!

SUGAR DADDY: I relish the opportunity to trod the boards again as Boo Radley, kindly but brain damaged young man about town. The director said I was a natural to play the part. Ah ha! There’s my muse! Emilio! Time to run lines!

Emilio: Sigh I’ve told you before that I have no idea how some southern unfortunate would enunciate “I is feelin’ poorly today”! I’m from Nicaragua where I worked as a medical researcher! I left when Ortega took power.

SUGAR: Oh my dear Emilio! You’ve mopped your way through so many plays that you’ve developed a fantasy life. Well, good for you! Now, when you say “ain’t”, is it with a long “a” or is it like “aunt”? I, of course, have never used the word in any manner of discourse and… blah blah blah

Is Emilio Mario and Luigi’s long lost and never mentioned Super Mario Brother, like how Zeppo is the missing Marx brother? He must be cheesed at all the royalties that he got shut out of.

Emilio looks like Stan Lee

WAITAMINNITHERE!!!! AINT THAT “FATTY MAMA’S DINER” IN THE BACKGROUND?!?!?!?! What are the odds that Vitamin would set up his lunch meeting with tracy right next to the theater where emilio would be working?

I know who did it! I’ve already read that book.

I don’t want to alarm anyone, but there appears to be an imposter commenting as Gweedobut has change the avatar to the one they like. ;)
