Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for March 17, 2012

Good morning all.. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!…

Top o’ the Morning to ye all! Who are those mystery musicians?

@VistaBillGood morning fellow readers.Erin Go Bragh Less !!

Could the Mumbles Quartet be making a comeback? It looks like Mumbles is practicing his guitar.

The old Mumbles Quartet! Amazing! One of them used to get beat up for forever asking “whad he say?”. The one who played guitar hid a vial of acid in it for throwing at people!

Huh? —Oh, sorry. I got distracted by Betty Boop in green for St. Paddy’s Day!Is that all Blaze does? Run simple errands for Panda?!

So Blaze evaded both Madison PD, and the Dane County Sheriff’s Office for her killing in Madison?

humm. I know a kid (a boy) named Blaze.

The Mumbles Quartet is reforming, eh? I wonder if Kiss Andtel will make an appearance, too.

ya know it seems odd to me that mr kleen/panda (they ARE teh same guy arent they?) is giving all these orders to the gang. what are the odds of HIM being mr crime?

@tsull2121..Kleen & Panda are two different guys. One is a well known germ-o-phobe lawyer and the other looks to be of Asian ancestery. Kleen would never touch Blaze as shown in the first panel.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Mr. Kleen were also Mr. Crime.Which means Mr. Crime HAS to be somebody else. (Maybe the bad guy inside the police department?)We’ll just have to stay ’tooned!

Blaze kind of reminds me of Jimmy Olsen from the Superman comics.

Young man, I have a pebble for you..I’m your gal pal..Don’t look now, but there is a LAMP floating in the clouds outside that window..Hmmmm. That window?.Go outside and see. I’ll check on the MUSICAL SMOKE coming out of that guy behind me!

Did Blaze bump off Mrs. Flakey Buiskits in Madison or are we to assume she did? I’m sorry if I missed a pertinent strip way back when.

I was asking the same question, mooveesm33, but my comment somehow vanished a few minutes ago. We saw Blaze in the drivers seat of Flakey’s limo, and then what? What happened next?

For those interested, here’s a relevant 1948 song, “What Did He Say?” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMlxxZsfp44

Hmmm….. Do you think these guys would forgive Mumbles after what he did to them on the ship? How about Kiss Andtel? Do you think we’ll ever see her?

oh NO! say it ain’t Ms. Steffihawk! then again…

Hey, imagine Mumbles discovering his old pals didn’t blow up! And what of them? I don’t think they’ll warmly embrace him!

Panda was summoned by Mr Crime exiting prison.He can’t be Mr Crime. Unless he fed Mr Crime to the Barracuda later…

“What’d he sing?”

Mumblespeak Translator: He sang, “Tell me your dream…”

The line is from the song, “All I’ll Ever Ask”. The correct lyric is, “Tell me your dreams” (plural) but either Curtis or Mumbles remembered it slightly wrong. You can hear the song here:
