Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 06, 2024

oh, and the henchmen JUST happens to run across the answer to their problem…

what timing…

how convenient…

Good morning™, everyone!

Yes, it’s pretty convenient that the details of the charity fundraiser publicity gives both the name and the location of the winner who still has their loot. They won’t have to waste time looking around.

BO Plenty, that’s a name I haven’t heard for ages. My mother used to use that as a tease/insult. Then there’s the L’il Abner character, similar vein, Big Barnsmell.

Good morning™, Observant Readers !

We’re back in the game callooh-callay !  They don’t know what they’re in for messin’ round at Sunny D.

Lower right – Man Bites Dog

I’m confused, B.O said that he won the car through a raffle draw by entering in his ticket on the April 26th edition of the strip. But today the paper said that he won through an auction. Did the paper meant that the comic con won the auction and then gave it away in a raffle? But that doesn’t make sense to me.

Nice article to read the Hat- News……

How about Green Hornet’s Black Beauty, The Monkees Monkeemobile or Knight Rider?

Cannot believe they never heard of the Batmobile, still calling it the Hatmobile! Holy Fedora Batman!

No, B.O. Plenty winning a famous car in a contest and then happening to stumble across Crop-top in the middle of recovering stolen loot— THAT is convenient. If you can buy the idea that this famous car exists in the Tracyverse and was raffled off by a comics convention, it makes perfect sense that there would be a newspaper story about it; and of course there would be a picture accompanying the article because newspapers like that kind of a snazzy visual.

I find it more unbelievable that Crop-top didn’t recognize the “Hat-mobile” when B.O. pulled up.

This is getting complicated. Wouldn’t it be easier to just rob a bank?

That supposed to be Tintin and his dog Snowy on the lower right of the page?

With a better story under her belt, Croptop coulda been a contenduh! Today she looks even meaner than her flatlined bro….

This week is starting out . . . . I can’t even think of a word to describe it .

MOVIE QUOTE—-“P*ss on the white man”——Paul Lynde—-THE VILLAIN—1979

These three don’t know what they’re getting into. Don’t t ell them about the “attack owl”

1-CLEANCUT: It’s about time you all got up. I’ve already showered, shaved, had breakfast and read half the paper and…

2-CROPPIE: SHADDAP! Gimme that! You didn’t think to mention that the car with our loot is on the front page?!?! CLEANCUT: Huh? Oh. I guess the other story about the guy born with a dog’s head next to his normal head caught my attention first. Do you think his mom had relations with a dog and a dude? That would be…

3-CROPPIE: SHADDAP! Here’s all the info we need to go get our dough. BOWLING LEAGUE: Do you think it might be a trap set-up by the ever-clever Dick Tracy and MCU?

CROPPIE & CLEANCUT: HA HA HA! GOOD ONE! STOP IT!!!

The boy and his dog are the Tracyverse version of Charlie Brown and Snoopy. Each daily is one panel, slight variations of the two of them staring at the camera, as the exemplar of what passes for a plot in their universe.

What is coming next? Croptop and crew make their way to Sunny Dell Acres. Via Uber, it does not look like any city buses go in that direction. Unless AAA came and towed the car to a garage.

Odds are that Gertie will go through the trunk and find the suitcase. If so, all bets are off Croptop will have met her match. After all these years, Gertie is still a force to be reckoned with.

I THINK T HERE’S 5 OR 6 “bONNIE aND cLYDE dEATH cARS” FLOATING AROUND THE usa, EVEN THOUGH THEY ONLY DIED ONCE.
