Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for July 18, 2011

Just the obvious, Sam: head for the transmit switch on the police radio, and get the dispatcher to send units to all the warehouses.

The week starts out with high excitment.

The wrist wizard isn’t totally perfrect. It’s signal can be blocked.

Which warehouseto go to???

Will they get there in time???

If they do, will Honeymoon have breathedin enough exhaust to put her in a coma.

Thanks guys for the excitement.

I hanging on the edge of my seat for Tuesday’s panels.

Honeymoon is smart, she’ll figure out to do to get some air.

Good morning all…

The Honeymoon of Honeymoon’s return is not over.

I can see Honeymoon involved in future adventures.

This new era of Dick Tracy is bringing lots of surpises.

I feel like a kid again -- can’t wait for the next day’s installment.

Same here, safeway This is getting pretty exciting! (giggling with glee)

Maybe Honeymoon should risk trying to get out of the truck; or blocking that exhaust intake! Or maybe Sam Catchem and Dick Tracy will get to the correct warehouse in time to ice B-B Eyes and his slimey thugs and rescue poor Honeymoon! I certainly hope so!

Usually works out in the comics for the good.

Am I the only one to notice that BB eyes has diagonal marks about his right eye? Some sort of scar from the tires he was trapped in 60 years ago?

Another great strip – you sure know how to build tension! And make the bad guys really E-VIL.

Seeing Honeymoon going after the bad guys on her own reminds me of another adventurous little girl (who used to have her own strip). Maybe the success of Dick Tracy will see adventure strips like “Annie” return!

Between the revivall of Dick Tracy and the introduction of Endtown, we are actually witnessing a new era unfold in the history of Comics. I can’t help but believe that Annie and Alley Oop will play a big part in this somehow.

BillT, your idea of having the SWATs hit all three warehouses only works if the PD went on a hiring binge since last year. But if things in Naperville are like they are all over the country, they are laying them off and they might be a little short-handed! Where the heck is Junior and Lizz? And that useless Teevo? Hopefully, Mike & Joe fired Teevo along with the Telex machine he was standing guard over.

Well, now I’m confused. The Wrist Wizard is supposed to be state of the art technology, right? Which means it ought to be ahead of cell phones… which have for some years had GPS systems that constantly deliver location info. Yet today’s strip implies the Wizard needs to be tracked by the more primitive method of triangulating its signal. Diet Smith should be able to do better than that…

I get the feeling this is one of the strips added after they got the “go ahead” to do longer stories ;)

Hoonymoon’s half moon person genes will perhaps save her.The moon people likely evolved to breath reduced oxygenated air!

I think Diet Smith needs to go back to the drawing board on this Wizard.

B-B Eyes has three warehouses of which I know.For which one shall I head?!First you head for a grammar class.(The) Honeymoon can wait! :o)Speaking of B-B Eyes, I don’t want to besmirch his character, but those cigars will be the death of him, yet (and the sooner the better). Now don’t get offended, all you B-B Eyes fans. I’m speaking somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

Actually, now that I think about it, the cops should be able to triangulate on the jamming signal itself!

Boy, is Honeymoon gonna be exhausted after this!

@DONZOR:Yes, because this is such a gas.

Use the spare tire for extra air while using the repair kit to jimmy open the trunk.

I’m confused. When did Dick and Sam discover that BB Eyes was behind the bootleg dvd busines? And how does Honeymoon know of him? He appeared waaaaayyyy before her time.

@phantom59Honeymoon went to the DVD store, pretending to buy a copy of a bootleg movie. She got an address off of a carton she saw there, and then Tracy sent Jr, to that address. Jr. took a photo of BB Eyes with his handy ring camera. When they saw the photo back at HQ, there was a discussion about the fact that they thought he was dead. Then, when BB Eyes sent his stooges to the house where Jr. lives, Honeymoon stowed away in their truck, and that’s where we are at present.
