Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for November 07, 2024

Good morning™, everyone!

A fake library card? This is getting serious! See, I knew he didn’t sound like a native speaker of English, but neither does Totten.

Such Debbie Downers today.

Sam is sounding very un-Samlike, don’tcha think?

Plus, when did he start wearing a clown sized bowtie?

He was a “sham” o’ tanter.

Good morning™, Zip Zilch Nadas !

With all that fake stuff was the guy even a real man and not some highly soapisticated solid type hologram ?  Did he try to offer the excuse that the stile jumping was fake too ?

Sounds like this guy was carrying what the CIA used to call “wallet litter” for an agent working undercover. Given what a bumbler Springwhatever was, he was probably working for CONTROL.

Thank god that the wallet is legit. I don’t know how we would react if it was proven as a fake as well?

Ah, a card-carrying secret operator!

What a timely strip! Call the president-elect!

OK. I admit I had to look it up. Just to confirm what I took it to mean by context.

“Bubkes” is actually a Yiddish word, and in this context has the same meaning as “nothing”. I believe there are different spellings, but the context is the same.

What no sammich today? No ketchup too.

Secret agent man secret agent man. They given you fake IDs and taken aways your name.
