Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for January 19, 2024

what a stupid question to ask, Rikki…

“Lucy, I’m home!”

Rikki and Blaze are homies! LOL!

Fata’s left arm is twisted in an impossible way in panel 1.

Shelley, wake up!

Good morning™, Mad Killers !

I always wondered what these kind of people felt and thought when they were at home after a flubbed hit. Do the show at least you wont be doing double duty, Just don’t let bad thoughts cause another on stage killing. MCU may be lurking at this event.

I like this MC’s coloring style.

Sure, go ahead and do the charity show. Tracy is on to you, of course, you genius. No worries, you’re not easy to notice, it’s not like you’re wearing a mask covering half your face, right?

Gee she sure careful around with that pen. Such a penstakingly planned plan it was.

Uhmm… Dear you’re not listening.

Is that green pen the one with the poison?

I guess being around Abner has left Rikki pretty blasé when it comes to assassins & their work.

And all this time I thought the Borg didn’t have emotions. They really broke the mold when they made Seven of Nine!

Some charities are more criminal that her job !!!

“D@mn! The police know you tried to commit murder and there is a warrant out for your arrest. Are you still doing the charity show tonight?”

“Of course, this is the Dick Tracy comic strip.”

Panel 1 Wow!

In my opinion that is a stupid question, Rikki! But then again you never know!

Good morning™, everyone!

Fata needs to calm down! Yes, of course, Bosco will be angry. Something was bound to go wrong, anyway. Is Fata on Bosco’s hit list now?

So, a character from Star Trek is killing characters from Doctor Who. When do the Star Wars characters show up?

Oh. she’ll be there with bells on….or something like that…….

Oh, Fata will be doing the show – the Abner Kadaver Foundation for Leaderless Apprentices needs her!

Stupid female crooks . Let the men handle the big jobs .

Charity Show? Does she kill someone for free?? Or do you bid for her services?

MOVIE QUOTE——

“This food doesn’t look any more poisoned than any other hotel food!”

Groucho Marx—A NIGHT IN CASABLANCA—1946

The irony of killer Fata playing the charity event circuit…

Awwww….something went wrong. We are all SO overflowing with sympathy for your lost income,we iz……

This is on a par with Stooge Viller getting drunk and losing his wallet in front of the Christmas carolers

Hmmmm, from a botched killing to a charity show. Thea’s a change of pace…….

Not if she knows what’s good for her. Now she’ll have the coppers and Bosco after her. She’ll be the next one in the magic box.

“Things happen. I once put the wrong shoe on the wrong foot. That’s kind of like the same thing.”

(moment of silence)

“(sigh) Here. Hold my pen for me.”

Why would a squeeze bottle of chocolate syrup care about this?

Well she knows she screwed up—but she also think s Johnny is dead. I’m guessing a magic showdown is coming

of course, it’s Party Time!!!

The poisoned doorbell—Selbert De Pool—1941

Bosco will not be happy…hello Miss Lady…do you know what this means? It means you won’t get paid. I imagine Bosco is scratching his head over having hired you. Someone must have referred you to him. Oh well…so much for character references.

I think she has new priorities, now.

“Oh, of course. It’s for the children.”

P1 has one of the best-rendered door slams I have ever seen in the comics.

Really fun body language with Fata flipping out!! :D

In this episode of At Home With the Assassins—

Fata throws a hissy-fit over having botched the Bosco job and hit Johnny rather than Tess. New pal Rikki remains cool and asks if Fata will be doing her Other-Life job as a magician at tonight’s charity showl

My guess is that Fata will calm down and go ahead with her planned show, despite what we know, that Tracy is already beginning to suspect her and might even turn up at the event to arrest her, or try to, I should say, because I expect that Morgana would have a way to trick Tracy and get away. It’s magic, you know!

Do a charity show? Better make the strategic retreat
