Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 08, 2024

Good morning™, all!

I only have one question about today’s strip. If Tracy has ridden in “the real one,” does that mean that Batman is real in Tracy’s universe?

Very nice drawings of Sunny Dell Acres II, by the way.

This story may never end! It’d make a great horror story!

Tracy looks like the hunchback of Tracyville in panel one!

Tracy’s hat seems to be balancing on his head in panel two!

Great illustrations

Below average storytelling

Today’s score: 2 1/2 goatheads.

So it is one of the replicas I was talking about. I know that Jeff Dunham (Achmed “I kill you”!) has one of them. By real one, I think Tracy is referencing the one from the show.

Good morning™, Car Talkers !

So .. Tracy is too good to ride in some cheap but nicely done knock off ?

Imagine Croptop and her accomplices trying to “hot wire” this vehicle. Nah… technology it has put the “shade tree mechanics” out of business.

If B.O. has to park outside minus a garage, his chickens are going to build nests in it.

Hopefully Stuffedtop can drag B.O. by his beard and get him out of the strip !!!

Apparently Dick Tracy and Batman are buds.

Disgusting thought of the day: BO Plenty doesn’t have a beard. Nose hairs gone wild.

He has? This must have occurred off-panel.

Oh hell. now it’s Tracy’s turn to give us a flashback of when he met Batman.

This is dragging along slower than the twelve days of christmas .

MOVIE QUOTE—-

“They’re burning the ranch!”

“What did you expect em’ to do, give it a fresh coat of paint?”

Glenn Ford—THE VIOLENT MEN—1955

Not only did I ride in it, but I got to play with all the buttons and switches! You should have seen Hatman’s face when I hit the ejector seat button!

SUNNY DELL ACRES TWO——-They’re using the style from theCollins era where BO had toxic waste dumped on him from the highway bridge overhead and ended up both glowing in t he dark AND moving in with Tracy and Tess.

The villains looked like Prince Charles and Princess Diana.

Bat-gassing Croptop on Sunday

So glad to see B.O. in the story for more than a few days. I hope to see Gravel and her scary baby also. Forgot his name. Maybe he will scare Ctoptop away. lol

Is this still the same night that B.O. was in the park with Croppie and the cop or is this the next night?

1-BO: Took ya long enough to get here. I called you at noon! DT: I got lost. I had to see a man about a dog. I didn’t really want to come.

2-BO: I used to live in that thar sanny-tarium. I bet you never knowed I used to be nuts. DT: Used to be?!? Say – is that why people say There goes the Crackerjacks – PLENTY of nuts! when they see you and Gertie out somewhere? BO: I ain’t heard that one. I only hear “See a Plenty, pick it up, and all the day you’ll have to SCRATCH YOUR NUTS!”

DT: I thought that ended with And kick the coins outta his cup? BO: I guess it depends on if they’re talking about Drunk Plenty, Crabsa Plenty or Beggin Plenty.

DT: So, I’m guessing Boobs Plenty is not the girl of my dreams? BO: I’ll say! Boobs is a dude. He ain’t as smart as the rest of us…

The art work in last panel is great…I love the smile on Tracy’s face. Carry on with thestory.

Yeah, but does it have a built-in TV set and a running water sink?

Following that line of thought, we can potentially see Scooby Doo and those meddling kids?!?!

Come to think of it… I can’t remember it ever raining in Gotham City on the ’67 TV show…

That is the real one Tracy. Last decades model.
