Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for February 01, 2025

ah, THERE’S the family connection to Prunepuss…

These days, If I assumed Tracy’s position, I’d never be able to get up!

Kool-Aid & "Crack"er Jacks=Disaster.

Who’s going to fall off the tower,I wonder?

now for seven more days of this with explanations, talking heads and connect-the-dots…

The story has definitely picked up the pace, which is a good thing.

Great I and A, once again.

Good morning™, Spiral chetes !

All that winding would get me dizzy. If Sam gets dizzy and blacks out the ladies could go in a reverse spiral. Put Tracy in a black coat and he could be the poster boy for underground extremists.

Loving todays comic in all respects.

I’m sure he can’t here them all running up the metal staircase.

Well at least he no get his hands on one of em steenky illudium Q-36 explosive space modulators.

What’s going on with Neil ?

Nice perspective. Catching a plane so won’t comment on my usual nits today.

Tune in tomorrow for the next explosive strip!

Good morning™, all! (finally)

No, I don’t think Tracy had to look up Xylon. I assume that he well remembers the case that appeared in the strip in the 1980s. Totten, Jr., on the other hand, is heavily obsessed with his great uncle.

“He spent YEARS trying to crossbreed Great Danes with caterpillars. HOO-BOY, you want to talk ineresting!’ He also believed that if you licked the front of postage stamps, they’d adhere better, AND open a gateway to a new world. He was CRUSHED when he learned Disneyand was only a theme park, and the mouse wasn’t a ravening Elder Thing.” He was funny that way.

Fear not! Stalwart Sneaky Stealin’ Sam has found the bomb and stuck it in his jacket pocket, All will be well once…er…oops. Maybe not so much.

1- DT: Tracy crouches down to relieve the pain of his badly injured “Door-To-Door Salesman Injury” I got my finger on the trigger but I’m NOT aiming at you so DON’T give me any crap about responsible gun handling!

2- FRED SR (disguised as Fred Jr): Well I still got the Dead-Man’s Switch’s button depressed so I’m being more responsible than you – so there!

3- SAM: pointing up I think we go this way… LIZZO: eye rolls Ya think? LEE: From this angle, I can see that you forgot to wear undies again, Lizzo. Thank you!

LIZZO: Lucky you! From this position, I can smell that Sam’s having intestinal issues from all those Street Dogs he was gobbling earlier. SAM: Yeah – how’d you know?

FAAARRRRTTTT! Oh. That… LUCKY YOU!

Cue Led Zeppelin….

well, that was way too obvious

I wonder if the T.A. top cop gave the report to Pat that he wanted?

Anyone want to take a bet that Xylon Bomb is a dud after all this time?

Not a fan of Panel 1—-Dick looks like amonkey.Panel 2 quite good—-Panel 3? I think there’s only room for 2 people in t hat tower….they’ll have to go back down again
