Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for December 14, 2024

Light a “motive” candle for the fiend.

now THAT’S classic Dick in panel two…

Good morning™, everybody!

So, we are finally being told that one of them is the murderer. I figured that was the case as soon as they were introduced.

Good morning™, Confident Smirks !

Don’t think I’ve ever seen that look on Tracy’s face. I gotta give this guy credit for originality and yet recognizable characters.

Apology time, seems this cold is hellbent on keeping me down..headache all day yesterday, congestion, wheezing, runny nose, and just tired as heck…went to bed at 8:1e5 last night, woke up at 2am…I only left the house for about an hour to go to the ATM to withdraw some do-re-mi…stopped at the dollar store for about 10 minutes, got Chinese for lunch, then came back home…the entire time my vertigo wanted to kick in and mess with me but the congested beat that one down after few “wobbly minutes”…my friend took me and his niece to get some Mexican food for dinner around 6-ish…then the pounding in my head won the battle…so I wasnt able to post my next chapter, don’t worry…MIRANDA WRIGHT is waiting in the wings for her grand debut…and none other than the lovely and talented WENDY WICHELL will be involved, as will someone who hasn’t been seen in the actual strip for YEARS and will also be making her debut in my story as well…. CHRISTMAS EARLY!

Maybe not, Dick. Might have been suicide…

1- SAM: Can I leave for the Office Christmas Party NOW? DT: Lemme think on it…NO! We got unfinished business here…

2- DT: There’s a full bar of the good stuff over there that won’t drink itself! SAM: Look at my eyes Tracy – I’M WAY AHEAD OF YA! URPPPP!

The murderer is a member of the Rogue’s Gallery? How absurd! The murderer couldn’t possibly be one of the people known to be in the house at the time of the murder. It’s obviously some stranger who sneaked in from outside without leaving a trace. Probably an illegal immigrant…

Good guess Dickie boy, considering there is nobody else in the building besides the members

REEEEALLY? A moider? My money is on the Jokey Smurf cosplayer. Something about him just strikes me as ‘off.’

….he has a….“concept”…of being almost positive…….

“Can they leave? It’s time for my pastrami sandwich….”

Panel two: Sam looks like he’s falling in love all over again.

Any educated guesses on the two “rogues” behind Sam’s shoulder in panel 1? I can’t quite make them out.

Panel 2 looks like Rick Fletcher’s version of Tracy. Very well done.
