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

Good morning all…

So, Sam is the coolest guy in the world who smokes, Dick Tracy is the coolest guy in the world who doesn’t smoke and Lt. Teevo is the very uncool mole. Right?

So, I wonder when that little habit of Sam’s will finally get the heave-ho?

Morrow, I know it’s your birthday sometime soon, so I’ll wish you a Happy Birthday now. Have a good one!

It’s gotta be just me, but Teevo’s profile reminds me of Geo. H.W. Bush.Hey Joe, any chance of sneaking in a cameo of Mike Mauser, private eye? (That’s for all us E-Man fans.)

It’s like a TV show. If a character suddenly shows up with face-time and a speaking part, chances are it’s either the perp or a victim…. Lt.Teevo, we’re keeping an eye on you.

Yeah, Teevo=mole. He has reverted back to Locher’s original design which always reminded me of Nixon.Sam’s smoking is a trademark of his, I wouldn’t want to see him lose it. He’s a toon, he can handle it.

I was thinking Teevo looked like President Logan of “24” but that nose! Gotta agree, it’s Tricky Dick. (Thanks Tarry for the memories.)

It seems obvious that he’s the mole so maybe he’s not.

he has access to the files and is in and out of the squad room with nobody noticing or caring.. so he is DEFINITELY NOT the mole!

I think Teevo is going to have his own “bugging” scandal.

Panel 2, Sam looks like a Ditko down to the hands. And if the inker makes his shirt all black the colorist gets taken out of the equation. I’d like to see more noir from Joe, he is so good at it.

Yeah, don’t you just love how the colorist turns Tracy’s collar into a serious skin condition in panel three?

Black shirt, with red bow tie?

What a combination!

If Teevo winds up saying “I am NOT a CROOK!”, we’ll know that he is.

Why does being the wife of Dick Tracy give Tess “Top Notch” qualifications to be a private eye? Is she going to use confidential police information and facilities through Tracy?Does just being a spouse transfer their abilities to you?

Teevo definitely has a slinky-evil look about him…

In most offices the files are shared on a common database network. Most often it’s not necessary to walk, oonly upload the files in the appropriate slot.

As we compare the appearance of Lt.Teevo to that of Pres. Richard Nixon, it’s a bit coincidental that Nixon then as VP, actually met Chester Gould on the latters visit to Washington. in 1959.Nixon’s first question to Gould was - "What would happen to Flyface ?Gould replyed that - ’ he’d get it good ’ !

I too believe we have seen the mole…
