Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for February 25, 2012

Nothing like a gigantic idiot child run amok.

Thunderchild isn’t a killer,,,yet.

Good morning all…

Mind you, there’s going to be fireworks tomorrow…

Patty’s in hot water now! —Err, in hot steam…. I’m still a little uncertain on who’s doing the embezzlement here. If it were Thunderchild, why would he go berserk at the office and then go after Patty? Could it be that the “gigantic idiot child,” as margueritem calls him, thinks (correctly) that he is being set up as a fall-guy by the devious Ms. Cure? Or is he the guilty one and just totally out of control as he seeks to cover up his crime (but if that’s the case, why is Ciera still among the living?)?

Based on what we saw earlier this week, I think Thunderchild is trying to cover up his own embezzlement.

Perhaps he’s upset because his crime has been discovered. He’s not exactly a poster boy for self control.

Clearly a case for Fearless Fosdick if he was not busy elsewhere !!!

thunderbreath has NO class. I can’t wait untill he (or is he a she on something) gets his. I hope that he resists arrest so that he gets tazed, beaten, shackled, haled off to jail and gets his hair cut.

No question – Thunderchild didn’t expect the theft to be discovered that quickly, or that Patty would be notified.He knows she’ll guess who stole the money – and he probably wants to keep her quiet.As Vista Bill said, tomorrow’s strip should be pretty explosive.

Well, now, we all want to jump to the conclusion that Thunderchild dunnit, right? But what evidence do we have? Could there be another party, one we have not yet seen, who’s done the siphoning? Ciera says that someone from the bank called; apparently the bank told her about the siponing. Could it be someone at the bank? How about this: what if Ciera is doing it and cleverly covering her tracks? I know, this sounds way out in left field, but could it be possible? Let’s see what turns up.

The budding criminality is confusing enough, but what I really want to know is… why is she wearing glasses in a steam bath?

@tsull2121 clearly you and I have different meanings for the term “drop the hammer”.

What if it’s not T-child? What is it’s not Patty? What if it’s the Mole?

High Sierra, I told you never to call me in the shower.

I had to Manny-Cure.

Somebody broke in, messed up your desk and threw all your roses on the floor!

What, what, what!

I can’t hear you. If only I could put the phone next to my ear and not in front of all my thick brown hair! But what do you expect from someone who wears glasses in the shower.

Oh, nuts!

I’m willing to bet that it’s all part of Thunderchild’s scheme to blame The Mole. Particularly if he can “capture” the crook which will help him ditch the role of wrestling heel. Of course The Mole might not prove to be as easy to take down as T-Child thinks, particularly with Tracy as his tag team partner.

Sorry, Cowboy1, but Fearless Fosdick says he is presently occupied trying to arrest a “chair!”

Love the ART in today’s strip !The classic, contrasting use of black and white in panels 1 and 3. This is the sort of presentation one of our colleagues here should wait for before using the word ‘SUPERB’ !It’s a joy to behold. Pity it’s partially, visualy corrupted here - with color !

Enjoy the contrasts here (black and white) :http://www.comicstripnation.com/dick-tracy/index.html

what’s next ?
