Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for April 14, 2012

Dick Tracy/ Chester Gould reference over at Gasoline Alley today. Good Morning everyone!

Good morning all…

I had to take a second look. In the first panel, I thought he said “this freak show” instead of “this freak snow”. Maybe he has a James Bond Jet Pack to escape from the rooftop!

The old helicopter on the roof bit. Third time DT fell for it this week.

Helicopter? Or something more innovative? Either way, for now Tracy has to play along….

Blackjack certainly has style.

I’m hoping for a dirigible. Dirigibles are always cool.

You have to wonder if on some level Dick has gotten some form of admiration for this most unusual villian…..he certainly has a unique style to him that is hard to not cheer for at some level….

If BJ used DT as his protégé surly DT has to believe that this guy is smarter than the average bear. It’s like I had said earlier, he’s not going to jail.

Okay, found it: the magnetic air car.

Blackjack reminds me of the Ocean films. The heists are treated as a game.

I may have found Tracy‘s next line!

Gotta hand it to Team Tracy – Blackjack is shaping up as a worthy addition to Tracy’s Classic Rogues Gallery.

This guy’s hero worship of Dick Tracy reminds me of how Scaramanga admired James Bond in “The Man with the Golden Gun.”

If that FBI agent was worth her salt she would have had the roof covered when they arrived…
