Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 04, 2009

Happy Birthday to the Dick Tracy that we all knew and loved way back when….

“Just ignore the guy behind me who has had the trap on his leg for the last month and a half…”

I guess the trap has been on his leg for so long he has no blood left.

I dunno (scratching my head and thinking). If BO had a good lawyer, he has a pretty good case that he won the money fair and square. The fact that OEJ set the payout on the slots to a leinient setting might not hold water because you can apply that to ALL slots - they are all adjustable to some degree. And therefore you can’t say ALL slot winnings are invalid. A sympathetic jury could conceivably award that $ to BO.

B.O.’s logic fails to grasp that the moneys may have (actually had) been stolen before he “won” (read “casino allowed him to win”) them.

So the money is “stolen”? From who?

Where the the legit (?) King of Clubs fit in with Big Ace?

I can see this is not going to end any time soon. Maybe Christmas..

You got that right, ridenslide. This drivel will still going strong(?) three weeks hence… http://www.tmsfeatures.com/bio/jim-brozman/

And wait until you see the asinine math errors that will be unfolding when Tracy confronts Big Ace. Yep, I said “math errors.” Sigh…

Just ingore the man in the first panel with the trap on his leg. He’s trying to bring back the “runnnig man” dance. Hey, MC Hammer called, he wants you to stop stealing his moves.

From the real oldies, while Dick Tracy has gone downhill over the last 60 years, the Phantom has gone uphill. It can be done.

I’m still trying 2 find where Tess’ frauded credit card ties in2 all this. Great story, still has a few holes in it though…

The plot thickens, alright. Its gotten so thick that it’s not moving anymore!

not only did somebody mess up his system, somebody REALLY messed up his hand… the only thing worse than that hand is “Cathy’ hands….. just a thot

hey notnorman, you are right that the plot thickens! ….as long as you type with a lisp… pause see, if you type with a lisp then you talk like Sylvester : “Thufferin’ thuccotash” pause oh, never mind

Plot? Is there a plot?

plot?….yes there is. the guy in the pin strip suit says he’s the boss. so who was the guy in the king suit at jacks casino saying he’s the boss?

BO should get a lawyer to keep his money.He was gambling in good faith, so he didn’t steal anything. And unless Big Ace makes a full confession, it’s only the King of Clubs’ word against BO’s that he won by some crooked scheme.

Look, we need a no-spoilers rule. I don’t mind the clever ‘critical’ remarks but the plot is thin enough already. I don’t need some ya-hoo giving the store away. If you’re going to get ahead of the story mark your post ‘spoiler’ at least, will ya?

Grokenstein said, “Didn’t see any “math errors” (cringe), but the samples on the blog seem to be generated randomly, so maybe next time.”

The samples aren’t random; every week or so they post a new batch. They seem to stay about 2-3 weeks of what’s “officially” posted.

And the first math error will be glaring. Not within any one strip, but when paying attention to continuity from day to day. So, of course, the author(s) would never notice them. Hint (without spoiling anything, Dypak): what’s $750,000 times two?

Look out for that thumb in panel 3. It’s about to run up your arm arm and get you!

I really thought the Brutal/Magnum Force story sucked, then came the deformed mad scientist with the perfume/Stump/Magnetic fingers and now we get 9 months + of this crap. I’m at the end of the line folks.
