Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for March 10, 2022

Good morning™, everyone!

Well, looks like that wraps up the flower siblings and there’s no sign of Yeti, so his status remains unknown, but I think we may have seen the last of him.

No tricks now! ✨

Hopefully, Ferret and Ape are alright and Yeti’s the only one that bought the farm.

Good morning™, collared crooks !

At least some are now ready for transport. Even if Yeti is on the run, Tracy asked for escape routes to be covered, so if he wants to get away he will have devised a way out they wont know about. Good on Rose and Daisy that they are still in the game. (For cmerb, LOL) Rose has curves in all the right places. Va Va… and all that. ;-)

Good morning, fellow Dart Dodgers! Something I’ve been pondering for the past few days…

Rose and Daisy remind me of another villain from the past. Wouldn’t it be interesting if Rose and Daisy were related to Lily Littel? There is a slight resemblance between them and she wears a flower just like they do. She is also a rather statuesque female like Rose. For those who don’t remember Lily, I’ve added a couple of links.

Her deceased husband’s page is here and there is another picture of Lily at the bottom…

A connection is not out of the realm of possibility. I probably have too much time on my hands, but it would make an interesting theory that they could be somehow related.

Curious to see the final aftermath!

And Tracy did not even fire a single shot!

Looks like Yeti did not hit anyone with his poison darts.

Ape is pushing up Daisies. He was an idiot anyway.

I trust that Sam also has a pair of handcuffs.

Rose (unseen thought bubble) " Darn it, I am out of bullets and the target got away".

Yeti forgot to place the needle laced with poison on the darts that’s why all darts just bounced off everyone that got hit.

Got to say it feels a little funny seeing this end. Back to finishing the new ‘Red’ Gammon story, GOLEM and watching Bob Morane episodes.

The avenger has been conspicuously absent. What gives, buddy ?  Hope you and yours are okay.

MOVIE QUOTE

“We’re gonna seal this in blood!”

“Wouldn’t that be a little messy,Bart?”

THE 5,000 FINGERS OF DOCTOR T—1953

Tracy’s gun isn’t “smoking”,so he never had to fire a shot?

Only reason they’d surrender is that Yeti is croaked and “they got their wish”.

Ape and Ferret probably licking t heir wounds,at the very least.

Who’s gonna frisk Rose?They forgot to bring Lizz!!

I’ll volunteer to “frisk” Rose

Wait a minute here! Hold the phone! What did Daisy and Rose do wrong? Seems to me they were doing Tracy a favor, helping apprehend a dangerous criminal. Same with Ferret and ape, except for the hit and run minor accident they seem like good citizens.

Smallmouth Bass is dead,but Largemouth Bass has yet to appear.

Rose has got THEM up!!! And very nice ones they are too!!! :)

Not quite sure how the two characters who had guns pointed at them from four other people, front & back, were the only two, besides Tracy & Sam, who seem to have emerged from this shoot-out completely unscathed.

We have a partial resolution. The very dangerous (and very curvaceous) Rose Dugan has surrendered to Tracy and Sam, as has her less pugnacious (to put it mildly) brother, Daisy.

What has happened outside the ambience of the melodramatic overhead spotlight in panel 3, we do not yet know. The fate of Ferret and Ape, and of Yeti, is uncertain. As some others here, I’d like to see Ferret and Ape survive; maybe, at best. Contrary-wise, I’d be content to have Tracy and Sam inspect the lifeless body of Yeti. Surely, some of Rose’s volley of shots must have hit him, no?

Friday and Saturday strips to wrap up this shootout: I can hardly wait!

1-ROSE: AL MY LOVE! ARE YOU OK? I ONLY MEANT TO MAKE YOU STOP YOUR EFFORTS TO KILL MY BROTHER!

2-DAISY: Actually Rose, we’re not related. I just said that so you would feel obligated to help me. ROSE: WHY I OUGHTA…

3-DT: Hold it right there, sister!

ROSE: Apparently, I’m no one’s sister.

DT: Fine. Hold it right there, daughter. HA! “Lawyer” your way out of that!

DAISY: She brought me here against my will! You see how feeble I am.

DT: Fine. You can walk away – IF YOU CAN WALK AWAY! HA HA HA!

SAM: Oooh. You’re in a mood today, Dick!

DT: Yeah. I didn’t get to shoot anyone. Cuff the others, Sam.

SAM: Huh? Oh. HEY YOU GUYS! COME BACK HERE!
