Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for October 21, 2023

Quite the smirk from Ms. Blanchette. I mean, “Libris” of course.

Good morning™, all!

Nice dome! It doesn’t look like the “greenhouse” wing to me.

all of Mistress Spankenassers’ tools of the trade on display for Dick to gaze upon and quiver in fear and anticipation of a soon-to-come BDSM session at her capable and strict hands…

Bring on the “novelties.”

I was expecting him to say that yesterday in the last panel in response to what she had said.

Ye Gods! is that a dance pole you have installed there? And disco lights too?

Poor Tracy. Whatever it is he’s looking at probably puts his “wall of hats” to shame.

“She collects matchbook covers!”

That must be quite a large library in there.

I tried to warn you, Tracy. “RUN”, I said. Miss squeegee-butt over there is way too proud of whatever god-awful thing she just had to show him.

Good morning™, spellbound and amazed !

I can hear the cries of wasted panel welling up at the f.f. (fruitcake factory)  It couldn’t be a long shot panel where we see a side view of them and also some of what is in that room ?  It would be neat if the Sunday had some shots of “elsewhere” besides the multiple angle shots of Dick and Ms Fartengrabber.

“Ye Gods” And the “guided tour” is just getting started. I wonder if she has a souvenir section in that palace.

Ye gods eh. Me never knews Tracy is polytheist.

Is….is….is that…..MADONNA AND WARREN BEATTY…..TOGETHER AGAIN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!?!?

She must have visited the Rotunda.

Stock library shock…..

It must be her massive torture chamber !!!

Tracey removes his hat in either deference or reverence. Can’t wait to see what he’s seeing.

“Lookey here”, said the spider to the fly!

Super visuals today, Wow!

TRACY (thinking): Vast gallery filled with nothing but TOILETS! This woman has…issues.

TRACY (thinking): That’s the BIGGEST statue of Barney the Purple Dinosaur I’ve EVER seen! Better keep Sam away from here!

TRACY (thinking): An entire WING of the place plastered with photos of SAM! I think we have stalker issue here! And…is that a freckle or a at??

That better not be a library of books, because you can’t talk in a library.

What a lead in to Sunday!

Yes, Dick, that entire mansion might be worth more than the entire Tracyville PD budget. (Even at non-Trump vision values.)

There’s a bit of how the Barbara Gordon of the 1960’s might be in an alternate universe at middle age – the hair (although Barbara’s is red), in charge of a large library collection. (Librarian Barbara Gordon was the original persona for DC’s Batgirl.)

I always thought the phrase was “YE GADS!”

It’s a room full of anime figurines, isn’t it?

I had no idea Dick Tracy was a polytheist, and I am stunned.

Whoa——this arc is moving waaay too fast.

Hey, if that woman let her hair down……took off those silly blue glasses……I couldn’t say no.

Tracy: Ye gods!

Narration Box: Never had Tracy seen so many black-velvet Elvis portraits in one place. He knew he had to resist the urge to claw out his eyes, because that would leave him unable to shoot the fiend who had amassed the collection.

It could be the world’s largest collection of Dick Tracy board games and action figures.

Where’s Another Take today? I haven’t seen him slathering us with his wit and crazy humor.

“I believe you know my cousin.”

“Howdy there Bracy!”

Grandpa’s little toy is either a sword cane or a switchblade.

A time-delayed Reveal. I imagine that this is the library, and that it is truly monumental, not to mention museum-like!

Excellent single-panel art that leaves us drooling with anticipation.

Tomorrow we will see what Tracy saw today, I hope (and barring a Sudden Swerve Strip).

So, just got back from the urgentcare a couple of minutes ago…they verified that its definitely ’rona….5 days of strong antibiotics and of course no work for 5 days

Why would anyone, especially a woman, wear a torturing collar and tie, especially in their home?

She’s a scholar first and a woman 185th
