Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 30, 2011

Make her talk, Liz!

G’morning all…

Good Morning or in my case Good night. I’m on my way to bed after working all night.Sounds like Lizz found out something.Enjoy your Memorial Day all!

Tracy must have some really old equipment. Pulmotors became obsolete around 1940.

I’m not sure what Dick’s observation in panel #2 means. One explanation is “Bad Design,” and the plant is probably overdue for a visit from OSHA. But if Hopper #4 processes cocaine, Dick and Sam are going to have a prob lem with that dust.

.@BillThompson, I agree it seems like an odd observation. It’s not like Hot Rize was put in the hopper. She definitely went in on her own free will. So that would make it more of a coincidence.

Hope everyone has a pleasant Memorial Day. I like to think of Memorial Day as a day of remembrance.

Her face turning a whiter shade of paleHots outlook on life has become quite staleOsha should now become involvedBecause safety issues need to be resolvedWith no “kill” switch on the floorHot was delivered to deaths doorMs. Rize fought the law and the law wonI think we all saw this would comeWhat drove her to this wayward lifeOne in which violence was surely rife?Was she mistreated as a childIs this what drove her wild? Or could it be she was just a seed gone badEither way, it is rather sadA young life that was cut shortOh well, what can you say, “c’est la mort”Now Lizz has been doing some sleuthingConclusions they will be deducingWhat was the motive of dear FlakeyI think it may be rather shakyCould it be that Hot was her daughterA theory that may not hold any waterTo find out if she was Biscuits evil spawnWe’ll just have to wait for the denouement.

I still think that the biscuit queen is as heavily involved as anyone.

Good Evening All! Hope you all enjoy your Memorial Day. Let’s all take a moment to lament our fallen….

Guess Hot ain’t gonna Rize no more… ;)

I don’t think that they process the cocaine, but they wrap it and deliver it. Now was Biscuit aware or not, we should have the answer this week. I hope so…

Don’t you think that Hot Rize over reacted? First of all she really had no reason to kill Earl because he didn‘t know anything, secondly she had to know that surly the law would be involved in a murder and to act dumb or unaware like she did on May18th probably would have been her best alibi. Ms. Biscuits is obviously involved telling Hot Rize “make this all go away (May 17th) and she obviously killed Hot Rize. You can’t help but wonder why. She also said on the 17th in regards to Earl’s murder that she didn’t want that kind of publicity. Looking forward to tomorrow.

I think this is far from over…

A visit from OSHA for sure. All large equipment I’ve ever seen has a kill switch somewhere nearby. Many have safeties that wouldn’t allow a start-up while, for instance, that man-door was open. So, how come this one didn’t???

I’m getting more and more convinced that the old bag is in on it – big time! She will try to go with the lame excuse she was protecting Macy & Sam.

. I know this is TOTALLY off subject. BUT, I’m telling every body I’m having a very exciting Memorial Day! First off I’m found out this morning I’m gonna be a Dad again! .

Secondly, I just gotta call and I finally got hired for the full time Police job I’ve been waiting for !.Now I have to talk to the Chief at the part time Dept. I work at but at 5 shifts a month we should be able to work something out. As far as my CRAPPY day job, well it maybe going the way of Hot Rize and Earl! As in SEE YA….

@Det.DanDone – Congratulations and best wishes!

Sam, who got his training at TSA while Locher was “doing” the strip, is practicing his pat-down techniques.

The man-door/inspection hatch on bin number 4 was open, so there should have been a safety lockout that would have kept that hopper from being used while there was a chance a man might be in there. Usually it’s like the switch that turns your refrigerator light on when the door is open, but in this case it won’t allow start-up while the man-door is open. This one was either missing or inoperable—- violation time.

Did you hear what Det.Dan Done didHis wife’s going to have another kidNot only that, he’ll be a full time copA double dose of joy for this expectant popA full time job, hopefully with perksJust watch out for those union busting jerksTo the scofflaws out there, stop your crime‘cuz he’ll make you all end up doing timeSo congratulations to Det.Dan and his wifeMay theirs be a long and fruitful life.

Congratulations. Det.DanDone!

I figured out what the Wrist Gizmo needs: some sort of amplifying and image-rotation software, so no matter what angle the sender holds his arm at, the receiver always gets an upright image of the sender’s face and a clear voice signal. This way the users won’t have to hold their arms at some awkward angle that makes them look like Marty the Mutant in “Day the World Ended.”

.Thank you, mzkdad, Gweedo, wndrwrthg, and Bill Thompson.

.Wonder Warthog, I always thought with all the poems you write, I wouldn’t be able to pick a favorite until now!

.Thank you, Sisyphos, nothing wrong with being fashionably late.

Congratulations Det. DanDone. Send me an email and I will send you something.
