Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for February 11, 2025

looks like somebody fvcked up…

Good morning™, everyone!

He forgot to plug in the explosive part?

Lizz: “You mean I was holding down the switch instead of getting punched in the face, for nothing? Oh darn.”

so much for Nazi ingenuity and superiority… can’t even properly set it for detonation…

luckily, it seems…

and it may be that Dick and Sam got their collective-asses kicked for nothing…

Looks like the ninja turtles are on the job!

Another “demon meister” on a destructive mission.

First night in the hospital. Can’t sleep. Operation went well, but in a lot of pain.

Que Sera, Sera, whatever will be, will be!

Join me in praying for a complete healing and restoration of health for Mrs. General Trelane.

So it was a dud after all?

firestrike1 De proclamated proclamations about 1 hour ago

@Gweedo it’s legal here Murray

I love it that the federal judges are putting the ixnay on a lot of his proclamations…

There are people who realize that an entity like a country DOESN’T run on sensationalistic flamboyant knee-jerk “proclamations”.

Note from the Guv:

“Heard the bomb was a dud. I was never in danger. Please find enclosed a bill for all those nachos you didn’t deserve.”

Good morning™, Bomb Breakers !

SORRY !  FALSE ALARM !  Now we’ll just keep piddling along here to pad out our time.

So it would appear the bomb was not armed after all. So please tell us, what exactly was the rookie mistake? Don’t leave us in the dark! We have to know! Was that cable in your hand not plugged in properly? I can hear Junior now. Oh fudge, did I really do a stupid rookie mistake like that?

Didn’t double-check his own work. A fanatic mistake in believing you are right in everything you do. But you are not going to find that till you press the button.

Best wishes to all those ill or in hospital. A speedy recovery to all.

A true story to give you a chuckle. During WW2 the Germans were building an airfield. A dummy airfield. Complete with mock buildings and wooden oil tanks and aircraft. The deception didn’t work, and after the airfield was completed the Allies dropped a single wooden bomb on it.

“Missed it by That much” !

So some kind of nuclear warhead or something?

I won’t even try. Get me started. I wouldn’t know where to stop. It would just anger me…

You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry…

(So, will it Firestrike who takes the bait and asks, “What makes you think we like you now?” or does someone else want to handle the straight line?)

So Tracy and Co were having Nachos, while the bomb squad was still working? Somehow that doesn’t sound like the MCU.

I’ve been looking and thing about the second panel and two thoughts came to mind about why it wasn’t connect; a) Delusional thinking clouded his judgement and abilities or b) Suicide by cop, he came to a realisation what he had done and think that there’s only one way out.

Should the bomb tech not be reaching over, should he be positioned to where he can get a clear and “safe” easy path to the intricacies of the device.

Better luck next time, Junior!

Earlier, the bomb squad had swept the clock tower, but missed the thing that looks like…a bomb? Huh.

The rookie mistake was leaving all those clues for Tracy to pick up.

Put the AA battery in in backwards, huh?

This is why Junior needed Sprengstoff’s skills. Too bad he had to kill him.

MOVIE QUOTE

“You come around here, reeking of popcorn and lollipops….”

W.C. Fields to little girl—-YOU CAN’T CHEAT AN HONEST MAN—1939

“The Oh Enn/Oh Eff Eff selector switch MUST be in the Oh En position for this device to function properly.”

The bomb squad is using WW2 manuals that are crumbling with age——-how DO they know what to do if Xylon was never “officially recognized” in public?

A dud ? What a bomb .

Be well

It will slack off. Patience.

1- CAPTAIN KERMIT: There! I think I got it working again…

2- : … Stupid human forgot to plug this in. Go find what they refer to as an “outlet” and rectify his mistake, Corporal Michigan J. Then when this thing goes off, Earth will be immediately transformed to one big pond with giant lily pads and flying insects and other stuff that our species will need to thrive here! CORPORAL MICHIGAN J: ??? What else do we need?

CAPTAIN KERMIT: Uhhh…for all frog giggers to be melted into plowshares? I DUNNO! JUST PLUG IT IN!
