Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for October 31, 2022

“Neat gizmo there. Any chance it could start a chip-key auto? Just curious.”

Happy Halloween™, everyone!

The dog is reciting a line that she’s famous for, but it could also be taken ofr a self-reference, since America is a place where audio-animatronics (developed by Disney) are possible. I hope this production is not opening yet if they are still trying to locate a live animal actor.

Happy Halloween™, mechanical mutt manipulators !

… really?… REALLY?!?… is today’s installment going to be THAT necessary in advancing the story?… sighs

Little pink houses for you & me…

Happy Halloween e everyone!

So as an answer to Cats we might have Dogs if they give the dog his own show !!!

If we go by the theory that well drawn, life like, faces are from real people. Who is the SFX guy?

Chekhov’s dog?

(Sigh!) Another Mike Curtis Jump Cut.

Something tells me Fuzzy is going to play a role in this story. Pavlov’s dog meets Checkov’s Fuzzy…

Do they have a call into talent agencies, are they searching the animal shelters?

Or a stuffed one with a string. Only THIS time we check it out first! The last one went ‘quack quack’ when you pulled it along. Made for some PRETTY confused cats. I’ll tell you!"

I see a mechanical dog, and I’m thinking of the foredoomed remotely controlled one on the GOES WRONG SHOW.

Maybe you could use that sniveling little pest Scrappy Doo and give the play a whole new (if hideous) ambiance?

Well, it’s…well, sort of official…this strip has gone to the dogs! (Ha-ha)

1-FUZZY: CAN YOU HELP ME? VITAMIN HAS BEEN SEXUALLY ABUSING ME!

2-ROBERT: Ha ha! That’s funny stuff, Steve. Imagine Vitamin abusing an animatronic dog!

3-STEVE: I wasn’t speaking as the dog. Please help me!

They didn’t cast Sandy in that part?IT’S AN OUTRAGE!!

MOVIE QUOTE—-“Why must I waste my time outwitting morons?”

Boris Karloff—YOU’LL FIND OUT—1940

Have hope,honest citizens..Jonny Scorn had a complete eavesdropping setup in his penthouse and it didn’t do him any good in t he long run.

Meanwhile,Mugg wants to marry the animatron….

Happy Halloween, fellow Armchair Detectives!! Animatronic Fido seems to have some personality. I was hoping for a cameo from Clyde, the giant spider today since it’s Halloween but I guess he’s earned a break.

“What IS it, animatronic dog? Sam’s fallen in the well? Again?”

Arf! (Sandy did it better.)

Happy Halloween!

I can’t best the dog, now can I? She says it all.

And finally, yes, who is the RL model for that hyper-realistic guy in panel 3?
