In her reaction in the second panel, Lizz is doing a very convincing job of acting like Patty Cure would.
The enforcer guy in the green jacket, standing behind Lizz in the second panel, echoes very closely the stiff pose of the guard who was standing behind Lizz in the police interrogation room.
“Should we be getting the Peter Jackson story on that ?”
“A good friend of mine sprung for a “trial” of the Disney+ channel, so he could watch the whole thing.”
I read the story on that from a link dropped by a Gocom poster friend in ‘Blighty’. Thanks much for the blurb on the picture. I may have to get that when it comes on DVD and the price has come down to a more blue collar level.
Lizz is pumped. This could pay so good she may be tempted to leave the MCU for pinker pastures. Enforcer guy is interrogation room guard’s ne’er do well brother. His name is not spoken by stolid stoic sister or the rest of the family.
Ten Cats, Graham Harrop, has an ongoing recurring problem with next day’s strips loading to the page which leaves us posting on the current day’s strip. It usually comes in sometime during the next day which can sometimes be all the way to suppertime when it lands.
why doesn’t the queen wear gloves and why does her pony tail stick out? seriously she’s leaving finger prints on the lap top and we can say she’s a blond.
A-HA! There is Miss Ponytail. Either she was “off duty” the day of the raid on Apparatus HQ or she somehow escaped. Maybe the girl they arrested WAS her and she had a reliable alibi set up in advance in case a raid ever occurred. I defer to my backup video…. (ducking flying objects). Maybe not! My repeated humor only goes so far…
I thought Thunderchild sounded familiar! I looked up on the Dick Tracy Wiki and (apologies if this was commented on before but) apparently Thunderchild was a pro wrestler and Patty Cure was his manager. Jerry King Lawler was involved too! Storyline started on 2-5-2012. Weaving in old characters is a nice touch.
1-LITTLE QUEENIE: You’ll see in the benefits package that you get two weeks vacation the first year and that increases by one week for the next two years to a maximum of 4 weeks per year.
2-DOLL IN DISGUISE: OOH! I HATE VACATIONS! SCRATCH THAT OUT OR I WON’T SIGN!
3-LQ: Excellent response! Everyone know that crime never sleeps nor does it take vacations! Here’s the company manual including the real names of every member of the Apparatus, their phone numbers and addresses – in case you need to get in touch. Keep it safe!
DOLL: Eh, I won’t need that. I wouldn’t want to bother them.
DT speaking through the glasses:WHAT THE HELL! TAKE THE BOOK! TAKE THE BOOK!
DOLL: Oh. Uh, maybe I’ll take it just so I know who’s who…
LQ: What’s that tinny voice I keep hearing?
DOLL: That? I’m uh, listening to a Ted Talk on how to be a successful Madam. She just said something about firing a girl right off the bat to show them all who’s boss and…by firing, she means cut a bish …yeah…that’s it.
And so, just like that, the Queen of Spades, a.k.a. Blonde Ponytail, welcomes “Patty Cure” (undercover Lizz Worthington-Grove) into the Apparatus as madam for an “escort service,” almost certainly replacing Briar Rose in that capacity. Lizz plays her part convincingly, so far. Does she know where (I mean by street address) she is? Are the tech glasses transmitting all this back to the MCU (and, as a thought for the future, would it be admissible as evidence in a court of law)?
As the real person seems to be either black or Hispanic, it’s kinda cracking me up that the top notch apparatus hench people don’t notice that Lizz is white as Mr. Stay puff.

Queenie has her own bodyguard. I still think her ponytail is fake and attached to her hood.

Wow, no background check? No wonder they have a hard time keeping personal.
Who’s Queenie’s manicurist?They do an excellent job!
I wonder if Lizz has to wait the usually 3 months before her health benefits kick in???
