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

Good morning™, everyone!

I guess that Lee was heavily under cover when the two Nitrates cases happened. It’s a good thing that Blaze came to the rescue with Lee’s actual shoes. I guess maybe she noticed that Lee had left without them.

Good morning™, memory lanes !

Sprocket doesn’t know what she’s missing !

Here’s the Dick Tracy wiki entry on Sprocket Nitrate:

https://dicktracy.fandom.com/wiki/Sprocket_Nitrate

It’s not as fully detailed as I would’ve liked, but it is up to date.

I wonder how Sprocket and Adam Austin are getting on… I miss Sprocket…

Geez, Mike is relentless with his mission to drive home the point that Blaze and Lee are a couple.

All of us get it Mike(other than Neil and Gweedo’s goat, who still aren’t 100% sure who’s feet those were!) Feel free to move on to some actual police work.

Hopefully Blaze gets some meaningful “screen time” and isn’t reduced to just being a delivery person.

Other than that,

HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

So, now that Blaze is at the MCU, will she & Tracy cross tracks on the news about the new da Vinci & the clue she discovered at Dekko’s memorabilia store? Guess we’ll find out next year.

Nice of Blaze to stop by the apartment and bring Lee her shoes. Advantage in being self-employed. Her schedule is flexible. Lee, as a city worker, would have to use one of her vacation or sick days to get the right footwear from home.

I hope after today we can get to an actual story. I’ll be optimistic.

Will we get a New Years strip tomorrow, or story continuation?

Should old Foot Faux Pas be forgot?

“Happy New Year!!!” Tracy Squad!!!

So the whole MCU knows that Blaze spent the night.

Great way to end the year – with a little love and kindness. Happy new year everyone, I hope it’s a fun one.

And now it’s official for colleagues and friends. Let’s hope it will be a good relationship, with few quarrels and lots of happiness.

1-BLAZE: Uhhh. When I was home, alone, not with you, no way – I sensed that you needed some shoes. And a bra to support those lovely melons. LEE: Nice cover, Blaze

2-LIZ: You gotta good friend there, Lee. I wish I had someone who anticipated my every need. My every desire. My every wish…

3-LEE: Uh, sure. Friends are good to have.

LIZ: And your friend seems to come with special BENEFITS SAAA-NAAAAP!

And now, for another thrilling installment in Dick Tracy… Lee puts on her shoes…

“Oh, and here’re some…er…dainty things. I…um…found on the street. I…errrrrr…thought you might turn them into lost and found.”

SMOOOOOOOOOTH cover!

“Actually, I couldn’t reach yours under the b…uh…TOASTER on the completely innocent breakfast table. I got these from Evidence. Just remove the severed foot from the left one, and you’re good to go.”

Hi Gweedo! Wishing you a wonderful 2023!

Dick Tracy = the comic to feature the main hero LESS than the rest of the characters, all the time!

A nice bit of trivia, and Blaze in the MCU squad room. But no advance in the story….

“The final fate of the Nitrates” has yet to be writteen.Sprocket still technically a fugitive,even though Public Domain “kidnapped” them from jail—-so it wasn’t officially a “breaK”.

Did she go off with DamAustin subconsciously because she saw him as a guy who writes anti-Dick Tracy novels?

Or is it…luv??
