Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for January 04, 2025

Dick and Lizz are indulging and participating some some BDSM activities in the interrogation room with the cameras shut down for awhile…

“Collusion course.”

Great art today.

Tracy’s safe word is “Flattop”.

Good morning™, everyone!

So… one of Hitler’s henchmen is connected to Tracy’s city. I think we sort of already knew that December 16. At least, we knew there was someone working for Hitler with the same name as our suspects.

Are Sam and Lee sort of the second-tier members of the team?

Good morning™, Bogus Bowties !

Is Sam really serious about wearing that thing ?  My Gawd !  Wotta fashion pariah. Is he competing with Jon of Garfield for worst dorkiest clothes ?  That’s some turtleneck Lee’s head is peeking out from.

When will this tedious rigmarole end? And I’m still waiting for a crossover between Dick Tracy and Rip Kirby!

“And it turns out that gramps, who came to the US as a refugee in 1949, settled here in Tracyville in 1952. He died in ’65 and is buried out in Wildwood Cemetery.”

Liz emits a gasp, “So that proves Jr. killed Spitzenburger!”

“Exactly! I learned from watching Tracy who investigated the grandfather of the sword carrying serial killer who stole books.”

When are they going to light the bloody clock? (Apologies to my UK friends)

I shouldn’t care but they’re drawing the eyes on the females kind of weird. It’s distracting.

Not only has this been an opaque arc plotwise, but Eric’s dialogue has often had a clunky feel to it as well, much like his disastrous Argentinian MM….

Really liking how Sam is looking these days . He looks tough .

So….why did Lee tie up Tracy & Lizz at Sam’s orders?

Slightly off-topic: I’ve been assuming that Fred Jr was stationed in Europe, and encuntered Sprengstoff there. That sound right?

“This city?”

NOOOO! What they do with that rope and a broom closet is THEIR business, Tracy! No need to bring us in on it!!!

1- SAM: Check out my new dance move! I tilt my head and body a bit to the left, throw a thumb in that direction and then I REVERSE TO THE RI… LEE: Just stop…

2- : … You’re old, white and maybe Jewish and you presume to tell a fabulous black woman in her prime about a dance move. H*nky, please.

3- SAM: Fine. But if you change your mind, I got the easy-to-follow diagrams right here. Uh…you get Klezmer music on your Spotify, right? The dance is Klezmer specific and…uh…

Never mind.

“This is a printout of something I found on the internet, so it must be true!”

Sam’s wardrobe hints at the start do the Sam Turns To The Dark Side storyline, in which he becomes a major mafia figure.
