Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for April 23, 2009

All right. At least tracy’s trying to get answers. How long it will be until he gets them is another matter.

Let’s see how Locher explains what all this silliness means.

Ohh, I’ll bet it’s a money laundring scheme. B.O. winning it all makes the illegal money legal again. Then they steal it, which makes the legal money, umm , , ,

IRS fraud, I think. They turn in large losses to minimize tax liabilities, and then go recover it. Kinda like what a lotta folks do today in one way or another.

Keeping in mind the old saying, “If you can’t say something nice” I’ve withheld comments until now.

Today’s artwork is without a doubt the finest consecutive panels I’ve seen in this strip for what seems to be years!

grok, yeh! the cyber bomber! forgot all about that diabolical badguy from the ‘perfume’ caper….. whatever happened to him…..and why was he only mentioned in one panel? see,this is a not only an adventure strip, its a mystery strip! good art today, the dark side of jack’s face actually looks like shadow (because it follows the contours of the face) as opposed to a black tattoo

Yeah, the artwork is quite good today. But, the story still makes absolutely no sense.

I know, I know, this is nitpicking.

The past 2 days the lines in One eye’s headband were,

1) there 2) gone

A proof reader should have caught it.

One thing’s for certain: According to the samples at the TMS site, the confrontation between Tracy and One Eyed Eyejack Jack will last three more weeks…

Dagnabit neonleon59, Wut in tarnation do ya think yar doin?

Iz looking forward to this here story.

Y’all done ruined it for me.

Y’all nothin’ but a blasted Huckleberry.

Can’t wait for the second coming of Queenie. Wait, maybe Jack IS a Queenie.

“And with the loot in Plenty’s house, now I can make this accursed shadow quit my face forever! And there’s nothing you can do, Tracy!”

Altho I think OEJ should call Tracy “Spacy”…

Grokenstein says:

Oh, the samples changed since my last post. The new ones (or are they random?) promise even worse hi-jinks and dialog.

~ I don’t even want to look.

neonleon59 noted: “…the ‘confrontation’ between Tracy and One-Eyed will last three more weeks”

Why does this sound like a ‘Bumpsie’ in the air and a dive into a tug boat funnel rather than onto a Casino table ?

Casinos, Card Names,Tracy. All tracking on similar lines. The creative bucket is really empty.

Will we be visiting Washington AGAIN for the next story ? Hello O’Brian, Hello Cosgrove ! Just love your Capitol Buildings.
