Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for February 13, 2025

pray, inform us as to the passage…

now it looks like they’re having pizza…

Good morning™, everyone!

Deuteronomy 24:16: “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.”

“Biblical Karma.”

Hate to say it, but Charles may have ooped on the clip on earring on Lizz. Just missed the earlobe by that much.

Good morning™, Bible Studies !

Those look like corn chip triangles, covered as stated by Neil. By keeping his left eye closed we don’t get to guffaw over Tracy’s shame…

By the way, what is that reading?

Nachos

When this storyline started, the Bible was in its first printing.

Proudly showing their battle scars!

Art is well done today, right down to the ice cubes in Liz’s drink!

I agree about the consistent weakness of most verbal forms, but even today’s three panels have outstanding pictorial artwork!

However, I thought the POW in a panel that appeared in the last few days was unnecessary.

Natcho-rally.

Lizz’s earmuffs are annoying

I’m not entirely certain why Liz is even asking the question. Does she think he should be? Why? There were a couple times he was given slightly shifty dialogue to make we, the readers, think he might have been involved. But Liz wasn’t there and didn’t hear any of the dialogue meant to mislead us. Ah, but having mislead us into thinking Sr. might be involved Eric feels a need to need to assure we, the readers, that he wasn’t really.

Sam looks like his painkillers are wearing off. Tracy still seems comfortable….

Still might have been a better ending for old man Totten to stop Junior than Sam “clocking” him.

He said, “No”.

Tracy, of course, just KNOWS what Deut. 24:16 says, without looking.

…..sharp-as-nails rejoinder from D.T………he could pretend, if he wasn’t familiar with the passage, that he knew it verrah verrah well………..quite!!

Sam’s overhanded grab of the nacho in p2 is a sure-fire way of getting sloppy fingers, unless he plans to tantalize Lizz & Dick with some finger licking. The thumb / pointer finger pickup is preferred…

MOVIE QUOTE—-

“Who ever heard of a Monster with a driver’s license?”

SCOOBY-DOO! AND THE LOCH NESS MONSTER

Isn’t that the one about killing the fatted pizza? Tracy seems to think it is. Oh,and we get a quick peek into Sam’s pastrami-riddles psyche here. That patch on his shoulder is actually a’ snuggy blanket’ for the pixies he insists, in unguarded moments, who have set up housekeeping in his cheek.

There’ a big petition in the works at the MCU to move his desk to some abandoned building in the suburbs. Kind of like the remote transmitter location on WKRP. They’d just feel…safer.

Exodus 20:5 is unidirectional.

SUB-FREEZING OT: Insane week. ION Isn’t running MURDOCH MYSTERIES today, so I have four recorded chapters from audio books 24 and 25 to review. As the outside temp. has only risen from 3 to 4, I don’t plan on running around for a photo shoot.

The quotation is more apt than you’d t hink, considering the strip has a history of “generational revenge”—-Flattop family;Pruneface Family——and the occasional son or daughter who wants nothing to do with their criminalancestors.

1- SAM: Ugh. NOBODY sips gin through a straw, Lizz. So gross!

2- : …In fact, the Bible says it’s a sin to do that

3- DT: Yeah! Maccabees_ real drunk when he does that. Amos never did drank gin with a straw but Andy always did! It’ll end up being a real Job cleaning up after you hurl as a result.

Isaiah, Isaiah, Isaiah – That’s all folks!

SAM: Drunk Dick is so fun at a party… /s

deut 24:16 children not being put to death for parents sins, and parents not being put to death for sins of their children

The hospice people are bringing my wife home from the hospital this morning along with all the equipment I’ll need to care for her . I now begin my task of caring for her and helping her until the end comes . The doctors did not sound hopeful at all . I won’t be commenting so much until this is over but I will try to read all of yours . I’ll need something to cheer me up .

What crime has Old Man Totten even commited ?

Why is Sam using the Goyish name? In the Torah the book of Deuteronomy is called “Devarim”

Are TFOSC ticked off at Tracy telling Sam to be quiet in P3?

amen

In other words there shall be no “Working a corruption of the blood” (U. S. Constitution), no “Three Generations Punishment” (like North Korea) just things like “Adult Children of Alcoholics Syndrome” to be passed down from father to son for seven generations. Still, the latter is bad enough.

Let’s see… On Monday they were eating nachos. Tuesday showed the bomb squad at work – after they had left the clock tower. Wednesday showed an edition of the paper extolling their exploits in saving the city. Now it’s Thursday, and they’re still eating the nachos at the bar. At least one day has passed (see yesterday’s strip showing the headlines).

Is the governor still paying for endless rounds of nachos? Is the city picking up the tab in gratitude? Has Sam given up pastrami?

Deuteronomy 24 verse 16: “Parents must not be put to death for the sins of their children, nor children for the sins of their parents. Those deserving to die must be put to death for their own crimes.” NLT version
