Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for July 20, 2021

Real news, or fake news? Tune in eventually!

Wonder if Diet allows everyone else to smoke at the workplace???

This story is jumping around like it’s a Mexican jumping bean!

(can I still say that?)

Apparently a new Black actress is playing Stellaluna now.

Good morning™, everyone!

Busy Diet Smith doesn’t have time to read the gossip columns in the newspaper. Stellaluna is back! Maybe she doesn’t work there anymore. I wonder if Smith is working on that “something new in the works” that he promised Tracy.

Smith’s cigar smokes like a road flare. Does anyone else think Smith resembles Walt Disney? (An aside: It was reported a couple of years ago that a Disneyland tour guide was telling people that Walt Disney was a made-up character, like Colonel Sanders.) 8-D!!

It seems like Diet’s assistant is piloting a drone? Taking pictures of….?

Hmmm….perhaps Diet Smith will be the fly in Archival’s evil ointment…?

Good morning™, breaking news !

Smitty is sooo full of himself. He needs to pull his head out his derriere and give the “colored” lady a listen. This is one whopper I guarantee you’re gonna wanna hear.

I wonder when he’s going to be flying that stuff over “Archie’s” home.

I am enjoying this story and all your comments, thanks to all!

Suspects begins…

Stellaluna must have been somewhere tropical, shes much more “tan” than when we saw her last

“That’s right… new Diet Mysta™ has just ONE QUARTER of a CALORIE, but all the sweetness of regular Mysta™. How do they do it? MOON MAGIC, that’s

What will Diet Smith do when he gets the news? Fume because he did not get the chance to give the “bride” away?

It might just be me, but this story line seems to have too many “sub-plots” going on. The kids in the theatre, the kidnapping, the space stuff w/Diet, etc. etc.

2-DOIT JUST: YEAH, THAT’S IT! Closer…closer…

3-SWEATLANA: Sir, I will advise you for the last time that hijacking CIA spy satellites to get photos of nude beaches puts this nation at risk!

The technician with slobber at the corner of her mouth: Mind your own business, Sweats. Ooooooh baby! JELLY DON’T SHAKE LIKE THAT

DOIT: Can we “make it rain” with this technology? TECHNICIAN: Only in the literal sense, sir.

DOIT: WELL DON’T DO THAT!

….she spies, with her little eye…..something ?!!!……..

I am happy to see that Stellaluna is back (apparently from some extramural assignment), and I hope she recovers quickly from whatever disease is causing her extreme jaundice (ahem!).

This observational project may be the “new” technology with which Smith is teasing Tracy and us—some kind of super-drone spy-in-the-sky device (maybe he will call it Skynet?)….
