Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for October 28, 2022

Good morning™, everyone!

“We now rejoin our story, already in progress.”

I had a feeling that Robert might have been hot-wiring that car just outside the theatre. Poor Sam!

Somebody hot-wired the wrong guy’s car, you betcha. ✨

Gotta wonder why Mike gave us a future glimpse of ‘granddaddy’ Warbucks all those months ago. To build up suspense? Not happening.

Sam is obsessed with this play.

‘Little’ Warbucks definitely has a huge head!

The shadow of Sam’s hand and hat is way too far from his head.

Team Tracy always has issues getting shadows and mirror images correct.

So during the play, the kid with the major role snuck out to the parking lot, stole Sam’s car, drove it away, ran back to the theater, and nobody noticed?

Hotwire and steal a COP car? What a stupid thing to do! Besides many modern cars cannot be hotwired

Good morning™, irate theft victims !

Kid !  You picked the wro-o-n-n-n-g ni**a to eff with. There must be super heated steam comin’ out Sam’s ears and MC missed it. Tracy’s look indicates intrigue as to why someone would steal a bottom of the line Chevy. Is unky going to congratulate him on a job well done or “rip him a new one” for stealing a cop’s ride ?

how convenient… out of all the cars in Tracyville that he could have picked to hotwire, he HAD to go and pick Sam’s car… but of course…

Contrived?

and whatever happened to Sam reuniting with his former Boston PD compatriots, as was mentioned a little while ago?…

Nobody wants to steal my cars. They’re too old.

If you don’t want your car stolen, park it next to a red Ferrari.

GPS tracker?

When goofing off on company time, always use a company car.

Sam’s Car doesn’t have Police Badging or Onstar I’d suppose.

And here I thought Steelface’s people only stole limos, vans or other vehicles of that size :)

“WHAT’S WITH THE 300 DELI WRAPS AND THE BADGE DOWN BETWEEN THE SEAT CUSHIONS, KID?!?!! NOT TO MENTION ABOUT 100 EVIDENCE BAGS LABELED ‘MINI’ IN BLACK MARKER?”

Oh, Sam, you silly goober! (cut Yakity-Sax as Tracy proceeds to chase him through the building)

oh interesting twist here

What about the GPS trackers?

Dick: Your car was stolen?

SAM: Yeah, while I was watching a rehearsal of “Funny Papers” last night. Someone must have hot-wired it.

Dick: You know someone should do something about this.

1-DT: Sam – how do you spell “pathetic”? I’m doing your Annual Performance Review…

2-SAM: I don’t know but I’m glad to hear that I’ve improved from last year. So I guess I should wait to tell you my car was boosted while I was goofing off at Vitamin’s play house hoping to get a look at his hot wife…

3-GASPAR: Your uncle wants to see you about the quality of the iron you’ve been bringing in.

ROBERT: So, he’s pleased with my focus on vintage classics!

GASPAR: Go and find out. Don’t let the baseball bat he’s holding influence your expectations.

He was at a rehearsal so there should have been a limited number of cars on location. With the amount of crime these days , would the police use manpower to find one car ? Were there not camera’s in the area ?

Uh oh.. I believe Sam’s car had Space Coupe technology installed.

MOVIE QUOTE—“To think I had to get shot to hear you say that”

Ruby Keeler to Al Jolson—GO INTO YOUR DANCE—1935

Glenda Farrell.Character actress 1930’s&40’s.

Most famous as leading lady in Edward G>Robinson’s LITTLE CAESAR.

Looked her up and she was born in Enid,Oklahoma.The same townBig Frost used for his phony police badge ruse in 1948.

There’s a sizeable amount of people who horse-laff Sam under normal circumstances,and now he has his car stolen??

Mike is baiting us.

Remember,Dick met Junior for the first time when the kid stole Pat Patton’s watch.

Aw man! Poor Sam, he can’t afford to replace his daily drive! I bet Steelface targeted his car on purpose just to be a JERK!

I buy that Sam doesn’t have a police radio in his personal car (since the MCU all use Wrist Wizards), but surely he has a gumball light in it—if not actual red-and-blues behind the grille or at the top of the windshield header—that would ID it as a cop’s car.

Maybe Robert deliberately stole Sam’s car, which he knew would be outside the theater, hoping the resulting investigation would lead back to his uncle, so Steelface would be arrested & he would be free of him.

I can see it now… Steelface wastes Robert for stealing a cop’s car. Tracy follows Steelface to a junkyard, as the gangster tries to dispose of car and body. Steelface dies when his magnetic forehead gets stuck to the car crusher. Sam ends up cast as the replacement Pinfold.

J.Peter Twillbrain———Spaldoni——Habe Corpussle.

I could be wrong,but I don’t think Chester Gould liked lawyers.

It’s good to see Robert, Who seems nice, has a skilled trade besides the theater.

That’s a profound oopsie! Nephew Robert, a.k.a. Booster Bob, hot-wired Detective Catchem’s ride! This will get the top guns of the MCU on the case, the last thing Robert or Steelface wants!

So, is Robert being called on the carpet by Uncle Arceneaux, or is this meeting just coincidental to last night’s heist? Does Steelface know this is Catchem’s car (and who Sam is, his old Boston foe)? Bob and we shall see….

Looking down from JPuzz’s house crash news report I saw this. :-(
