Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for November 15, 2024

Lizz is looking a bit on the alien side today…

Two Fox Plaza sounds like an address…

and if there are two, wouldn’t it be plural?…

Fox Plaza: Way too much "sly"ght of hands.

there’s that pointed finger syndrome again…

Good morning™, Little Big Job Lots !

Based on group testimony it is looking like screwball goofy was going to target the Two Foxes job but why ?  Did Lizz get up on the wrong side of the galaxy today, at least according to vengey’s take on her P.1. appearance.

So, the competition is on. Which will come first? The opening of 2 Fox Plaza, or an actually interesting or exciting plot development in this “story”?

“Day 637…Zis is Jacques Cousteau, from ze depths of Tracyville and Two Fox Plaza…ze search for intelligent life STILL evades my team and i… but we will trudge forward, never stopping until we find even the SMALLEST glimmer of hope…our journey continues”

Good morning™, all!

I think this is the first actual confirmation that Totten is developing Two Fox Plaza, although we’ve figured that out by now. I wonder if there’s a reason for them avoiding government jobs.

I think we can rule out my buried body theory. This is more corporate than corpse. Is the lack of government jobs point to substandard materials being used? What is the corporation’s skeleton in the cupboard?

(Back to buried bodies, again).

Whoa she sure look sick and anorexic.

No government jobs? None? Remarkable.

Deep down, Tracy doesn’t give Two Fox.

MOVIE QUOTE

“Tricks! That’s all you know is tricks! Well,I don’t need any tricks!”

Edward G.Robinson to Orson Welles—-THE STRANGER—1946

So, after a two week guided tour of Tracytown, followed by two weeks of trying to figure out why blondie was killed for trying to avoid paying his subway fare, we are finally back at the building with the clock.

Now do we get another month of wondering how come the figure in the clock spoke flawless English, while the “freelance explosives expert” with the fake I.D. spoke gibberish?

A man named Dmitrio,in addition to unfairly barring me for a year just because I don’t know how to send pictures; is WAY behind on keeping Dick Tracy Wiki/Fandom up to date. Situation serious.

Prelim facts established. Now, who does the MCU spy on first?

“Two Fox” is just a name>>doesn’t refer to actual creatures, similar to “Three Dog Night”.

So – Liz is giving Investment Advice now? What does she think about the strength of their Balance Sheet? Are we talking M&A candidate here or a Short opportunity? Would the ultimate ascension of Frank Jr. to CEO be a good or bad thing? (I’m going with “bad”)

OH BOY! THE STIFF DIGIT! RIGHT OFF THE BAT IN P1!

I knew Sir Carlos wouldn’t disappoint me.

1- LIZ: They have a fair number of jobs here and around the world. I’m kidding. They have ONE job (raises index finger for emphasis) – ONE!

2- : …Which is good given that they have only one bulldozer, one Hy-Lyft and, crucially, only one Port-O-Potty.

3- DT: So “Coming Soon” is… LIZ: A question Lee asks her girlfriend every night. DT: I was going to say “optimistic”. LIZ: So’s Liz. BA DA BOOM!

Two fox plaza is a pun on back to the future (twin pine plaza).

All of the aforementioned is terrific, but I want to know what part the deceased had to do with it. That has not become clear yet. How many days are we into this story?

OT: Waiting on the results of a second blood requested test. I really wish I hadn’t read up on how many bodily systems can be affected by elevated calcium levels. Nervous as heck.

Can somebody straighten out/update Lizz’s relationship with Tinky(Groovy’s kid) and 1956’s Spec?

She’s supposed to be foster mother to both
