Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for July 27, 2024

a day late and a dollar short…

All this running has given Tracy a very skinny waist!

Sam’s huffin’ and puffin’ to keep up!

Good morning™, everyone!

Well, it’s finally coming together. I guess Tracy doesn’t really have time to show the search warrant.

Chucky, you KNOW how fabulous I think your artwork is.

I gotta say, Lizz’s trigger finger is quite interesting! LOL!

Wait, there’s a security guard? I thought the place was deserted except for Gabriel.

Talk about not being able to hit the broad side of a barn….

“Look, I know the starters are shaky at times. We’re looking at some trade deadline moves, we have prospects we could swap for pending free agents. My GM is working on it. I think we’ll be okay for the stretch run.”

This storyline has dragged on in places – not that it’s not good, it just seems to drag in spots…be nice when Mike comes back…oh, I hope he’s comming back…

Good morning™, Ball Team Bashers !

Now if THAT don’t get old Bordy into a stewing stink. Insult MY team will you.. ?

P.2. Lizz is cocked and loaded and ready for Action while Sam stands looking smug, but about WHAT ?

Mr Borden isn’t exactly a Deadeye Dick…

He really is a big fellow!

Exciting, like!

How could he even miss a fatso that big? Maybe he miss broad side of barn too. Say if there be security then how did missy with gun is gets in without appointment?

Hmmm ? His left leg in-between her legs is very interesting , this is getting better every day : )

gee-someone want to tell Tracy he actually has to present the warrant for examination, just bursting in and declaring it is no sufficient, anything they found would be inadmissible, luckily the gun shot gives probably cause.

…AND he’s puttin’ his knee up in her bizz’ness! GOODNESS! Could THIS be the end?………

I take it he missed… :\

Colonel Sanders is about to give a licking!!!

Well holy crap….out of the blue Tracy and Sam appear…..oh and “bang”!

“Couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn” really fits here given Gabe’s very broad side. And front. And back.

1- HANS GROPPERGOOD: VAIT! VY ARE YOU VALKING FUNNY? DT: IT GIVES AN IMPRESSION OF URGENCY! SAM: My back hurts and this helps…

2- BANG! LEE: OK. Whose gun went off this time? SAM: Both mine did. First the Pow Pow one followed by the Squirt one…

3- GABRIAL BLOWYOUROWNHORN: MISSED ME! MISSED ME! NOW YA GOTTA KISS ME! BORDO: Wait. Did you also say that to Pierce??? That would explain his suicide…YUCK!

Not sure I like the 2nd frame where everybody has their finger on the trigger. keep your finger off the trigger until you need to pull it.

I hope this leads to some Chester Gould-style violence. Tracy has become too wimpy.

So… wait… there’s a guard? How did the armed woman get in?

Is she a bumpkin? Does she mean “pictures?”

I’ve been dropping mild SAM SLAMS © all day without so much as a Cease And Desist from TFOSC – let alone the threat of being LISTED! Is every member of the club still recovering from the quarterly TFOSC Meeting and Celebration Of Life???

I just want to add something positive here, at least in my opinion. The MC has been pretty creative on the coloring in the linotype room, and it looks pretty cool. It’s been getting more fiery as we’re going along and the purplish gradient on PGabe and VD today is very climactic-looking. I think it makes Carlos’ art pop here.

A hand like that can easily snap the neck.

Show the search warrant or be repelled with lethal force copper.

And t he great big saw came nearer and nearer and nearer…..

Be my wife or you will be cut in two—-said the villain to poor little Vera……
