Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for July 22, 2023

Sabrina’s all out of sorts after reading the news…

now it’s Audie’s turn to panic at these turn of events…

Good morning™, all!

Sabrina looks very scared. I think Audie already read the article, and he doesn’t look scared at all. I suppose he has a plan?

The fact that Susan is also in the same building does seem to confirm that the call centre is located in the former TV station building.

“I read the news today, oh boy”

More hopping around here than at a bugs bunny family reunion!

Tracyville is definitely a small town if one, obscure shooting make front page news!

Boy, do I miss the Locher days!!!

Better, more civil interaction between the readers! LOL!

Good expressions today.

Good morning™, shocking headlines !

We know that the shooter is at large, so where’s the story on the outcome of the victim ?  Sabs is shaking pretty bad. I think she needs a drink. LOL !

I have a very bad feeling about where this is going!

I wonder what happen when she lets the others in?

Guess we’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see if Audie connected the dots about Anders getting shot.

What ever happened to Crazyhair, the guy who shot Anders?

Stay tuned, things are getting interesting, and Tracy is on the way!

Yes, it’s called a newspaper.

Is Susan related to DT? She has his distinctive jawline in P2.

Other writer again.

Sprocket .

Didn’t Audie see that story in the “e-edition” of the paper the other day? And, wasn’t Sabrina in the same room? Wouldn’t have Audie made a remark about the shooting when he seen the story then?

So far the story……is a test of one’s patience and or of one losing interest…….

1-SABRA KADABRA: Man, I just can’t stay out drinking all night anymore. CHAINRING: Reminds me of my…boyfriend? …husband? Anyway reminds me of him trying to use his brand new key on my brand new pair of roller skates – if you catch my drift.

2-SABRA: I LOATHE THAT SONG. Mention it again and you’re fired! CHAINRING: ♫ ♪♪ I GOTTA BRAND NEW PAIR OF ROLLER SKATES! ♫ ♪♪♫ I don’t care. I’m outta here before Tracy busts down the door anyway. You’ll see.

3-AUDIE DOGGIE: What’s this? SABRA: I’m worried about your eyes. Read the top line for me. AUDIE DOGGIE: Ummm…LEGOS…SHlTTER…HEY! THEY CAN’T PRINT THAT!

Time to blame an unhappy customer (victim).

Shootings are down to the leve of Japan or Switzerland. Very serious and enforced gun laws in Tracyville.

The headline news of the day (about the shooting of Anders at Argos) has Cousin Sabrina all shook up. [Here inserting obligatory Elvis link: https://tinyurl.com/2d6byem7 ] She can barely manage her key to unlock the call center door for “Susan” (and “the others” yet to arrive), and immediately bails to run to big cousin Audie and inform him of the disturbing news.The thing is, for them (Audie and Sabrina) it’s not just another urban shooting like dozens/hundreds/thousands of others (depending on the population size and crime rate in Tracyville); rather; it is directly relevant and hits close to home, so to speak.

How will Big Bad Audie react? (That’s what Sunday strips are for, I guess….)

I think Nanny cut Audie off in the last panel as he did not finish the sentence.
