Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
For those who donât know, Blowtop is Flattopâs brother, and took on Tracy in 1950, 6 years after his brotherâs demise. You can read about him here:
https://dicktracy.fandom.com/wiki/Blowtop_Jones
When Collins brought him back, he depicted Blowtop as still bearing a grudge against Tracy, but not as violent as heâd been, or as violent as his niece (and Flattopâs daughter) Angeltop. Angeltop speculated that prison had turned Blowtop soft. Curtis kept up this âsoftâ characterization in the tale involving Mrs. Flattop and the Nitrate siblings. The last weâve seen of him in the present, he was attending his sister-in-lawâs funeral, suggesting that the police werenât going after him, even though heâd been harboring a fugitive.
This story wonât really hit itâs stride until Porky and Daffy show up!
However, Shellyâs artwork is brilliant as usual!!!!! A beacon in the darkness, it shines from sea to shining sea!!!!! (gotta play it safe and avoid getting my comment âremoved!")
Well, it seems that big brother Blowtop is âthe bossâ on this bank job. Just when you thought Mike Curtis couldnât add any more characters to the story, he does. I believe that Blowtop and Flattop were shown doing a bank job together before.
âHey hereâs a groovy ideaâŚ.why not write a story that features **everyâŚ.freakinââŚ.formerâŚ.tracyâŚ.villainâŚ.allâŚ.atâŚ.once!?!? The readers will love love love it!!!!â**
Since all of the bad folks, and only the bad folks, seem to smoke in DT world, it seems like it would be easy for DT to sweep up crime just by arresting everyone he sees with a âlighted tobacco product.â as they say in elevators.
1-BLOWSMOKE UPYERAZZ: YOU THERE! ED: Me� BLOWSMOKE: What? No. Who are you anyway? Beat it, bub!
2-FLATTIRE JONES: I know, I know. Youâre mad because I didnât invite you to the game. Itâs your own fault. You always get mad and tip the table over â EVEN WHEN YOU WIN!
BLOWSMOKE UPYERAZZ: ARE YOU SAYINâ I GOT A BAD TEMPER, YOU LOUSY SON OF A SAILOR???
FLATTIRE: No. Iâm saying you get too emotionally involved with literally everything that happens. I recently started seeing a young guy fresh out of psychology school â a Dr. Phil â who I believe can help you. He told me and I quote: âYou donât need a rope to pinch a strangerâs buttâ
BLOWSMOKE: WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN?? FLATTIRE: You tell me after youâve been to see him a few times. Also, find out what âTHAT DOG WONâT HUNTâ means. Regardless â Iâm much happier now that Iâve been to see him.
NOTHING YONSON entryâ-the h eadwaiter in the photo with Yonson was named âJerryâ,and he was aware of his boss âcriminal activities and was in and out of the action until Yonsonâs death.
And, delivered to trial. Fatty will be prosecuted by vegetarian DA Vincent âVeggieâ Burger. Famed for the whole celery stalk he keeps in his pocket and occasionally used to better recalcitrant witnesses.
In a few days, I expect Blowtop to say, " mom always liked you best". These two will never be mistaken for the Smothers Brothers. Yet Blowtop has survived while his brother, his sister-in-law, his nephew, and his niece had untimely demises courtesy of Dick Tracy.
What I miss about this strip is the panel which said âMeanwhileâ. Where are Tracy and Goodwin at? It would be appropriate to insert them into a third panel. Heaven help me if they took a coffee break.
Thank goodness for Shelleyâs fine art work in todayâs Brotherly Love special guest star installment!
For this is the last thing the alleged story, whatever it may actually be about, needs; viz. a comic relief Jones Boys dispute over Flattopâs (in)attention to the bank job and his âside contractsâ! WOO GOSH!
Can somebody please get this trainwreck back on track?

Good morningâ˘, bickering brothers !
Blowtop should be more careful. Flattopâs a killer, ya know.
Flattop has a delightful playful monkey look about him. Will Shell start giving all the bad guys monkey-ish features ? Â LOL !

It looks like Flat Top has heard it all before and is not impressed by Blow Topâs bluster!

You can relax, folks. Flatty got a job as a teller. Itâs not THAT kind of âbank jobâ.

The bigger the panel t he bigger you can make Flattopâs headand Blowtopâs mouth.
So let Shelley have her fun.
The bank job will go great until Blowtop sticks his head out the window to yell at the car who cut him off(he th inks).

I wonder who would win a shouting match between Blowtop and Captain Haddock?

Somethingâs not right here. My understanding is that Flattop Jones died years ago, but here he is, business as usual.

Heh! I love that sassy smirk that Flattop has â he really knows how to push Blowtopsâ buttons!

Blowtop had to leave the Cookson Hills early.
Every time he opened his mouth the hogs would stampede.
