Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for March 02, 2025

Lizz and Lee as we can see turn up the heat a bit

“Were you the one who let them in?” He won’t admit to it.

Calls his break legitimate. “Look up my CBA”

“Body-snatchers waltzed right in! To that what do you say?”

Started calm but nervous now. Man claims he shall not speak

Cool fades away so fast, as he begins to leak.

Here’s hoping that a man so dim is smart enough to sing

Of those who wanted to abscond with John Doe and take wing.

Medill Horrocks?!?… LMAO…

“I,,,KNOW,,,NOTHING!!!”

Good morning™, everyone!

They’ve got poor Medill sweating bullets in the lunchroom. I suspect he never did anything wrong at the coroner’s office.

what a waste of a Sunday…

he saw and heard nothing…

so much for that…

we and MCU learned nothing, as well…

what a waste of a Sunday…

“Stutterfly.”

Talk about wilting under pressure! This dude is more pathetic than Firestrike on a date!

Good morning™, Shivering Timbers !

P.4. Lizz faintly resembles Morticia Addams. How long before he starts shaking uncontrollably and spazzing out ?

“I saw nothing … heard nothing … even the bodies were more quiet than usual…”

He reminds me strongly of Hanover Fist from Heavy Metal (before he, you know, Hulked out).

Man, with a name like that, he’s been bullied his entire life.

First panel saw the sign on the door, I thought it said “County Crooner”, Bing Crosby came to mind!

The art is great today! Love it!

Imitating Sgt. Schultz, I see.

This shall require a thesaurus and some research. Stupid doesn’t begin to cover it. I need something five or six steps down from that.

My suggestion yesterday that they pull the car over to the curb, grab a random citizen, and beat him until he tells them something about the attempted body snatching makes as much sense as today’s strip.

Mr. Sweaty: “I heard nothing! It was like……dead, that night!”

First thing I noticed: the chin is like Horace and the nephews. Must be a member of Auntie’s family.

I think we ALL know that inconvenient wedgie-while-under -interrogation flop sweat only too well.

Horrocks means a pile of trash or stones.

“… You were on duty, alone, the night of the break-in … "

“… I didn’t see anything. I didn’t hear anything until the guard yelled.”

“All right, Mr. Horrocks, if you were here alone on duty that night – who is this mysterious guard you heard yelling? You claimed to have been here alone!”

1- LIZZ: Is that SNAIL COFFEE? HORE ROCKER: Yeah. Want some? LIZZ: Yeah I want some – but I don’t mean coffee and only if…

2- : …you’re rocking an ANACONDA!

3- HORE ROCKER: Oh my…uh…no…can’t say that I am but…

4- LIZZ: LIAR! WE KNOW WHAT YOU’RE HIDING!!! NOW SPILL! Pssst…step in with your “good cop” anytime now, Lee! LEE: __Huh? Oh yeah! Sorry – I was making a grocery list…_

5- HORE ROCKER: ALL RIGHT! YA GOT ME! LET UP ALREADY! I DID IT! LIZZ: Hang on a sec, Rocker. Grocery list?!? Gitcher head in the game! LEE: Why? He just confessed. You got it. Leave me alone

ROCKER: And then I washed the blood off my hands…SO MUCH BLOOD! And… LIZZ: Slow down, Rocker! What are you on about? We’re here about that attempted body snatching. Whadaya know about that? ROCKER: Really? That’s all. Oh. Well then – I don’t know anything about it. I wasn’t on duty. Speaking of – I’d better get back to work.

LIZZ: Darn! A dead end. LEE: Yeah. I thought you were on to something. Need anything at Kroger’s while we’re there? LIZZ: Sure – a pound of Snail Coffee

he’s either got a speech problem or he’s lying… but what do I know.

Horrocks likely a dedicated “Hogan’s Heroes” fan with that Sgt. Schultz answer!!

I think the nervous chap is telling the truth.

but he knows something

Nervous Norvus.

Even this guy’s acne pores are sweating. And the ladies have barely Started In on Him.
