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

“Goat Joke of the Day!”(To continue until there’s one honest to goodness panel of real, slam bam ACTION!)

to help you survive the latest episode of; “As the Worm Inches Along!”

Q. Which American football team do goats cheer for?

A. The Rams.

Tune in tomorrow,

Same goat time, same goat channel!

Quite the jokester. “The best way to an annoying reporter’s heart is with a pointy object. Har har.”

Yesterday she was Joe Pesci in Goodfellows, today she’s channeling Boris the Animal!

How many personalities does she have?

the unfriendly Frau’s true colors are now finally being revealed…

and the barracuda has sharp teeth…

and whatever she whispered to the Wich sure took the starch right outta her…

but did Shell have to put the Frau in half-blackface for shading?…

Good morning™, all!

Yeah … Xaviera Libris doesn’t joke! That should do it for Wendy’s line of questioning.

I think Wendy was told her mic was going to take an unscheduled trip upwards if she didn’t go away!

Reminds of Batman saying something quietly to Deadshot which convinces him to talk….Wonder Woman asks Superman what Batman said and his response was “You don’t want to know.”

Eric’s idea of action is obviously still shots of deep expressions of horror or surprise.

That’s not action.

Seems Xaveria Libris has a unique sense of humor….one Wichel apparently doesn’t share.

Something along the lines of “a dead fish” I think.

I’ve NEVER seen the Wichy one speechless before. Did she tell her to back off before she guts her like a fish?!

X: “I know your real hair colour.”

“The Aristocrats!”

Because what better use of close to a week’s worth of strips can there be than a sequence that climaxes in dialogue that can’t be shared with the readership.

I would love to know what she said!

Knocked the starch right out of her!

Good morning™, wincing Wiches !

I’m applying for early retirement and taking a trip far away to a secret location.

Ms. Libris must know Wendy’s dirty little secret but whispered what is rumored…she slept her way to the top.

What’s to say Wendy won’t go running to Tracy the next day after this lah dee dah?

Wendy not a journalist

For facts are not her game

Rumore, gossip, and nonsense

The woman has no shame.

A shocking thing was said to her

Whispered in her ear

Told she could be dead fish dead

The manner made most clear.

Libris left her speechless

First time her tongue is still

Whispered of a gruesome death

A sudden, silent kill.

Well, that was interesting. But then, it’s long suspected the info companies probably have tons of dirt on everyone; rich or poor. Just waiting to “use it”

Wendy Witchell X reporter….?

Someone just got out-witched …

Hmmm Maybe Ms. Libris, dropped a Name (Wendy’s Boss??)

wendy just needs a little more botox.

Said the Evil Witch of the West to the Evil Witch of the East.

“All of their old noses had grown back.”

“EEEEEKKK!!!!”

Interesting. The story has had no on-screen violence, and now no on-screen harsh language. Very sanitized.

Natasha is definitely upset.

Snap it up Eric !

Wendy originally had a question she wanted to ask X (and not she one she sarcastically asked) – I wonder if she is on to the story of the stolen manuscripts and the dead people left in its trail.

I don’t think she was joking… :{

She whispered‘You’re next’.

“You, my dear, have knobby knees. You could use THOSE babies as door knobs.”

I TOTALLY get it! She’s an alien working with the rebel faction on the Moon. she has just used her prehensile tongue to plant a mind-controlling bug in a convenient ear. From now on, we will have only cheery stories about happy, frolicking puppies with uzis.

1-WENDY: Ha ha. I’ve seen Goodfellas. That impression was spot on! X: Wait. I gotta dirty joke for you…

2- …Whadaya call a woman with both a slit below AND a bigger one just under her chin?

WENDY

3-BALDY HAID: May I have this dance? Hello? Dance?

MOVIE QUOTE—

“It’s all right, Daniel. We have a PERMIT!!”

Boris Karloff to J.Carrol Naish—-HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN—-1944

You gonna take that, Wendy?

You’re an investigative reporter. Now that you know she’s nuts, follow her home.

Tracy got of her house alive.Maybe you’ll be just as lucky.

And with that, the very small possibility that Ms. Libris is not a dangerous serial killer is totally gone.

4-day weekend for me—-I shall return on Monday,November 27th. And Brussel Sprouts will spoil my good humor over turkey.

In the meantime,will we find out that Libris studied under Keeno The Great?

Will Tracy and Wendy Wichel finally agree on something?

Will Libris marry that comic book collector/Moongirl kidnapper in a jailhouse ceremony?(They were made for each other).

Was her comment “off the record”.

Go ahead, Wendy! Pull her blonde hair out by its mousey brown roots!

Ms. Libris seems scary. I don’t think I like her.

Before Crowbars were invented, crows had to drink at home.

“Oddjob” the Cameraman is shook. Wendy is terrified as I have never seen her before! We don’t know what exactly Xaviera said through those gritted teeth, panel 2 (and we probably never will, since the TCA* has adopted a “woke” Code of Conduct), but it was sufficiently ominous to leave Wendy Wichel unnerved and frightened.

*The Tribune Content Agency should perhaps be challenged in court by the successors of Chester Gould for grossly distorting the character of his creation, Dick Tracy, and the intent of the comic strip. And if need be, maybe the strip could be pulled from syndication; not many newspapers carry it, anyway, and the controlled presence online at a site like GC could be replaced by an independent (and uncensored) web-comic….

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my friends here. Have a good bird for dinner—-but not the wrong one:
