Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for July 10, 2024

is Dick going to go out on a limb and see if he can perhaps rattle Gabe?..

Good morning™ everybody!

Now Tracy doesn’t believe in coincidences! Surely he has experience with those.

He might be right about not being able to get a warrant based on that, but do you really think that Gabriel wants to sit down and have a chat with any representative from the police force?

Tracy and Lizz are having a chest contest.

Who will win?

“Not enough to get even a warrant”?! Heck, Tracy used to shoot criminals on less evidence. Ah, the good old days…. before everything got soft.

Good morning™, Bad Premonitions !

You can see Gabe’s apprehension like he knows an ill wind is about to blow. That 2nd panel is our action for the day.

it must be a desperate Dick for him to try the direct approach with Gabe…

The pursed mouth and side eye he’s giving the phone in that last panel puts me in mind of Dorothy Parker’s habitual remark when her telephone would ring:

“What fresh Hell is this?”

What a greedy crook. Even his phone is says BRING BRING.

When this storyline started about thirty years ago, I wondered where it would go. I’m still wondering but now I’m a lot older.

Bbrrring, bbrrring, bbrrring it on Tracy.

Surely you chest??

Smug fat baztard is about to get Dicked .

MOVIE QUOTE

“You have one of the greatest larynxes I ever saw”

Mario Lanza to Doretta Morrow—-BECAUSE YOU’RE MINE—1952

Scandal-free Dick Tracy will have the advantage as soon as he walks into the room.

And as Groucho Marx once wrote to CONFIDENTIAL MAGAZINE—-“If you co ntinue to publish unflattering articles about me, I will have no choice but to cancel my subscription”

The phone call he has been waiting for…confirmation his request is ready.

BBRRRING. BBRRRING.

At first glance I thought it was one of the strip’s critics shouting, “BORING. BORING.”

1- DT: thrusts pelvis forward 40 for 4T??? That’s so stupid! LIZ: thrusts chest forward Oh yeah? Well what brilliant ideas do you have, ”boss?”

2- DT: None but here’s what I think of your “clever” association! throws tabloid at trash can and misses badly But…

3- DT: …Just to prove how dumb you are, I’ll talk to the editor and see if he’ll confess to receiving all that blackmail Crypto. Satisfied??? LIZ: Yes! I bet he will! He’ll be so shocked that anyone was brilliant enough to make that connection!!!

And finally Duck Tracy will take action…….of sorts…….and the story will unfold even more!

Seems there is some kind of name on that payout spread sheet that we aren’t privy to yet…..maybe a mention of it will drive Gabriel to do what many criminals do….make a very bad mistake.
