Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for November 24, 2022

“Thanks man. And don’t call me Steelface.”

Good morning™, everyone!

Free ride downtown! What a deal! Well, I guess that about does it for Steelface, properly defeated. It only remains to square away nephew Robert.

Who says there’s never a Good Cop around when you need one? ✨

Well, that was sure a quiet wrap up. Must be the time of year.

Good morning™, busted burnt stubble bums !

Does free taxi service mean the “tip” is covered too ?  Oh, wait. Robert already supplied the tip. :-)

For the love of God, Shelley Pleger, please do some research on basic firearms handling. This is beyond irresponsible.

Three times UNlucky, Steelface

I can see a joyful look on Sam’s face as he watches Steelface being expedited back to Boston. Maybe his colleagues will fly in and they all celebrate at a local restaurant.

Well, he still has those sweet “bedroom eyes.”

Tracy, Tess, Chief Patton, Liz, Lee along with Sam and his former partners are going to see the Funny Papers.

Lamest story in a while.

Has the creative well run dry?

Check out 11/21 strip where Robert spills the beans!

Steelface needs a criminal attorney and civil to file a lawsuit against the hospital.

From Steelface to Prisonpuss !!!

Team Tracy is thankful that they got him today.

Tracy Cops Sam’s collar!

Hmmm… Finger on the trigger, gun pointed at Tracy’s head…

Wishing a happy, safe and blessed Thanksgiving day to everyone!

“nah, thanks, I’ll get an uber.”“oh ok”

….“just put on these ‘lil ’ol bracelets here, and we’re off to see the Wizard!…or somebody like him!……”……

LEE: This is the slick thief who ran chop shops in Boston when Sam was there years ago and evaded the police for all of this time? There he is sitting over there crying like a baby. Let’s go and pick him up without a struggle. What detection! Tracy, you’ve done it again!

TRACY: Aw, shucks, it weren’t nuthin’.

“Ohh! Can we stop for smoothies on the way?”

One of two options here. 1) It’s a pretty easy and convenient wrap up OR most likely 2) He makes a run for it and starts to get away before tripping and falling into a Lion exhibit at the zoo and becomes Thanksgiving snack.

Shelley’s art work in today’s strip is terrific! Especially the last panel.

1- STEELEY: SUMBICHES BURNT MY FACE AND SHRUNK MY FEET! I had to steal some shoes from a dwarf doctor’s locker.

2- …I better take some selfies for the lawsuit…

3- DT: The only “law” suit you’ll be wearing will have orange stripes! STEELEY: On what charges and what evidence? DT: Well, no evidence BUT your nephew is a snitch so we’ll give him immunity to testify. STEELEY: But isn’t he dead? DT: Uhh…no.

STEELEY: We’ll see about that. Gimme a second to call my “lawyer”. Hello, Two Guns? I need you to take out the Robert trash. Unnerstand? Good. DT: You called your lawyer to take out the trash? That’s a full service law firm!

“Just PLEASE don’t drive across the crosstown bridge! LAST time I dangled by my head for HOURS before the rescue squad stopped laughing and pried me loose.”

They’ll call him “Lucky to have a face, Face”.

Does this mean Robert won’t be in the show?

what a letdown … a nothing-happening ending… as limp and milquetoast of an ending that we are now expected to accept… this is just as low as you can go… what a major league disappointment for the strip… what a waste of time this arc has been really… something needs to be done and SOON to get this strip back on track because it’s been gradually derailing for the past several years now and if it hasn’t gone off the tracks completely, then it soon WILL be unless a new engineer is installed at the controls… Dick has been showing it’s age in how limp it has all become… it hasn’t been hitting that sweet spot and providing the excitement that it used to back in it’s prime… and this arc didn’t deliver the climax that it SHOULD have… this strip needs an enema… a cleaning out of a sort… because this strip has gotten constipated, IMO, for WHATEVER it’s worth…

My God, I really DO need to continue my own story…it couldn’t end up worse than this

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Shouldn’t they call him Mr Arceneaux instead of Steelface?

A bad end for an awful day for old Steelless face.

Well, that’s rather anticlimactic! RuddyGoredFace, it seems, is going down without a fight, or flight, as Tracy with the cuffs and Lee with her horrid Firearms Safety lapse are suddenly present to collar the witless gangster. I suppose the “stolen hot car” was a set-up, and Tracy with Lee Ebony were lying in wait for Arceneaux. Boy, is his face red!

Terrible gun safety by the lady cop.
