Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for November 18, 2020

Good morning™, sewer rats!

“They cannot fail,” he says. Do you want to make a bet on that? I have to admit that the whole “approach through the sewers” will not be visible to drones.

“Sewer Rats.” ✨

“What do you think of my ‘sneaking clothes’ Yeti? Pretty sneaky, huh?”

Good morning™, gleeful goobers !

Yeti looks deviously mishievous as a junior high student getting ready to flush a live cherry bomb in the boys room.

Drones wont see them in the sewers but one may be around to see them going into a sewer. I wonder who will be the lucky ‘recipient’ of that stuff he is pouring in the first panel.

The van could have a trap door in the floor, park over a sewer entrance and they are in.

Hahaha, yeah, there’s nothing better than a heist via the sewer system! I bet Daisy’s looking forward to that!

That plan worked in Shawshank Redemtion…..

Gonna be a ‘’gasser.’’

They must have seen Who’s Minding The Mint?

Yes, let’s not attract attention. Like you did by firing a unique weapon at a cop for no good reason and dropping a clue at the scene.

Driving slowly also attracts attention. Driving lowly in a perfume company van in the dead of night is sure to attract attention.

Steal through the sewers, come up smellin’ like Roses?

Maybe they can’t be seen by using the sewer, but they can sure smell them!!!

How often are sewers used for points of entry in real life, as contrasted with fiction where the sewers seem to have been installed as access points? (Know of one real case, I believe it not in US, where they got close to bank – but then took weeks to tunnel into bank. The drain pipes from a building to the sewer aren’t large enough to admit anyone. Of course, one hears many real stories of idiots (drunk or attempted burglars) who try to gain access to buildings by going down the chimney – since it works for Santa.

Sure – no one will notice a seven-foot, chalk-faced mountain of a man with long, bluish hair…

How can one who uses such good grammar possibly be a criminal?

I wonder how large the sewer pipes are to fit the big guy? I suspect no matter what, the sewer here is big enough for a car. Access to the building will be in another oversized pipe rather than the typical 4"-6". Probably big enough for the “abominable snowman.”

What are they trying to take ? And the images are cool again today , but I’m not so sure about Daisy’s hat though .

“And after we’re through, we’ll swing by Tracy’s and egg his house!”

Harummpfff! Thanks to Wichita’s comment yesterday, the sneaky parking reveal was SPOILED! Maybe today, he’ll tell us how the stuff in the beaker will be used! JK.

(I hardly recognized Daisy without his daisy.)

In panel 2, Daisy’s silhouette really appears to be sneaking. Going through the sewers could require a bit of perfume to mask the smell. I hope both of them are fumed up.

I like the contradictory opposites in this story. This is the type of irony Gould often used.

Then put a bag over your head, Yeti!

You know, after the big heist, I can almost see Yeti and ‘Daisy’ starting a new career in comedy films, doing kind of an Abbott and Costello thing. Or is that the beer talking??

Daisy doesn’t look happy about having to dress down for this caper….

Maybe this is a Super Sewer, like the big drain in Chicago called the Deep Tunnel, that doesn’t work as it is supposed to. Plenty of room for a couple of sneaky thieves and also for booty on the return trip, even a rather large and heavy meteorite.

It is not quite clear where the “precise timing” Yeti mentions comes into play, though. Are there museum watchmen to evade?

“Elega Frag” would be a good name for a goth punk band.

“Remember, you come up in stall 3, and i’ll come up in stall 4.”
