Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for January 10, 2023

Good morning™, everyone!

Isn’t that nice of him? Well, if he sent Paul to Panama City, I suppose he sent Kryptonite (sp?) there, too. Treating his associates well, indeed!

Art Dekko is a blatant liar! I wonder if Paul has already been disposed of?

“Speaking of which, it’s almost time for Art Dekko to treat you well.”

I guess in TracyVille sending someone to Panama City is like sending somebody to the train station in Yellowstone.

yeah, like the way you treated Sue the first time around… this chimp has a lot of cheek to him in saying that to, of all people, Sue…

My money is on Sue following the same path as Blaze Rize and ratting out her boss.

Good morning™, slippery weasels !

There’s no end of cheek to THIS guy. His happiness sends a lot of ‘feel good’ through the office. Sue totally believed that load of bollocks and how could she not, against that “winning smile” and confident air ?

Art Dekko didn’t get where he is by not saying “Art Dekko didn’t get where he is.”

Art Dekko also didn’t where he is without being a snide double-dealing scumbag either.

Is Saul already dead,

done in by his greed?

Deprived are we to see

The completion of the deed?

Sue’s going to have an accident. They should have bought a new ladder

I wonder if Paul is buried in Panamá City , Florida or permanently retired in Florida.

Paul has reached his final destination: The Pearly Gates. No, wait. Hades.

Dekko is lower than pond scum you might say!

Beautiful " green " eyes and a sweet " bottom " in the last panel : )

“Art Dekko treats his associates well” as in leaving their corpses in one?

Dekko must have had a change of heart concerning Paul. Such a nice guy! LOL

Mike and Shelley have quite a number of moving parts in this storyline. I still do not understand the cameo appearance of Diet Smith and Daddy Warbucks unless Mike and Shelley were trying to buy time until they made their next move.

What happened to Neil Wick? We haven’t heard from him in awhile.

And, how well have you treated your female associate? Have you at least “comped” her hair styling visits?

1-SUE: Ugh. What’s in these boxes I’m stacking? They’re heavy and smell like spoiled meat!

ART: Pieces of Paul… errr, pieces of Paul’s porcelain forgeries. I think he used them as food containers when he wasn’t able to sell them as Ming Dynasty vases and pre-Columbian art. Say…

2-…You DO have a good side. I never noticed before. I think you should be displayed face down in your coffin if there’s enough of you left to be displayed.

SUE: What? ART: What?

“Fully HALF of ‘em are at the bottom of it. Why I drink bottled water, y’ see.”

Sue, you might not be Superman (unless you change your last name to Perman), but that doesn’t mean that Kript/Kipt/Krypt O’Night can’t hurt you.

Never trust anyone who keeps referring to himself in the third person.

NEWSDAY—January 8th,2023

Describing small shops in Greenport,LI<New York

At nearby Natali Fine Art Services,my son bought a coffee table book on Leonardo Da Vinci published in 1956 that deatailed the master’s architectural drawings and notes,paintings and more.

It’s so hefty itself could serve as a coffee table.

MOVIE QUOTE—

“I always wanted to be a man about town.Just not in little chunks”.

Bob Hope—THE LEMON DROP KID—1951

Sue Reel does all the hard work.Art Dekko takes all the credit.

That pretty much sums up their relationship—-and everybody knows it but Sue.

If Dekko keeps it up,he’ll be almost as “popular” as Mr.Bribery.

Art Dekko is going to get stuff into a card box!

What a great boss! I really wish I could work for someone like him.

Puff puff puff that cigarette, Art, as you lie through your teeth to hapless Sue Reel, who must be the most pathetic masochist in Tracyville, working for you ’til Death do you part! Which is probably going to be very soon!

It does seem as though the brutish Kyp/Krip/Kryptonite has already seen to it that Paul sleeps with the fishes (a.k.a. is dead fish dead) offshore of Panama City, Florida. There’s a substantial time-jump to today’s looming Decline and Fall of Sue Reel….

First, Art Dekko , Would be a fool to kill the Golden Goose . Maybe Paul used the request for a larger cut to draw Dekko out, and then reveal it to Tracy. Or to get back at Deko another way…. They did have an apparently good past partnership. Just Wondering…
