Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for August 18, 2012

Good morning all…

Someone is in for a real shock, and it’s NOT Dick Tracy!

Who will get those paddles?

Good morning, VB!

No way is Sam going to jumpstart Dick. Will he attack the white-haired guy, or zap the ambulance’s electrical systems by shocking the vehicle itself?

Paddle cake , paddle cake, Catchem’s the man.He will shock all three as fast as he can.

I don’t remember giving Tracy an irregular heartbeat.

First they will need to unbuckle that strap and then lower the sheet so the chest area can be exposed. While that is being done is when Sam will make his move.

Fried Franz, coming up! Does either Tracy or Sam still have a Wrist Wizard or a back-up piece (I don’t recall any rigorous searching by Stiletta’s crew)?

The Upward Lee Mobile (sp?) case would’ve been an apropos reference. And in non sequitur, non-Tracy 2:20AM news— I just got back from a 20something meat market in South Boston called (wait for it)…Lucky’s. Boy…do I feel old.

I’m sure all the statuesque blondes there would be greatly impressed by my comic strip commentary & arcane Collins trivia.

4:09am and i’m ONLY number 14?!?!! i give up! lol ;)

franz is “in for a shock” with those paddles. i’m expecting the gurney to fall out of the back of the ambulance and roll wildly down the street like in that one batman episode! lol!

don’t give SAM the paddles you dodo! Geez Franz is a skilled surgeon but he’s not very bright. A clever ploy, but I mean…really? If Stilletta is trying to klll Tracy,wouldn’t this be the culmination of her plan?

Any bets Sam slipped Tracy his backup?

The good doctor is fixing to find out what “getting tazed” is like.

I must admit, letting Sam have the paddles does seem incredibly stupid. Stiletta herself might not have been that dumb, but she is in the front seat.Another thought – someone yesterday noticed the sweat drops on Tracy’s forehead, and noted that that is a sign of a heart attack. So, how is Tracy faking his own sweat? Or, is he actually having some kind of episode? I hope is is alright.

Gotta agree that Franz isn’t too bright. Think he’ll probably get a shock but it’d be better for Sam and Tracy if he could shock Stilleta or the driver. Maybe he’ll get more than one!

Good thing is we don’t have to wait until Monday!

Who is the mystery MUSTACHE MAN?.My favorite, favorite recent Dick Tracy storyline has to be this one! Dick spends, what seems to be months and months in bed. Sammie asleep on the floor, gets captured and demoted from Detective to ‘officer.’ .And now we have to put up with Sammie’s ‘FUNNY BUSINESS’, I mean his BAD ACTING!!.SO EVERY VILLIAN KNOWS ABOUT THE Mr. BRIBERY CASE. EVERY VILLIAN REMEMBERS WHEN IT OCCURRED. LUCKY SAMMIE HAS FOUND TWO GOLD BARS. LUCKY, LUCKY SAMMIE..Check out today’s LIO at go comics to find if rolling papers gather no moss…..CLUE>>>>>SEE SMOKELESS SAMMIE!.

What will happen to Dick? He’s so weak..Another Dick Tracy “adventure” that he spends in bed as others do the detecting!.Which came first…the chicken or ‘Dick Tracy’…..(It’s a trick question!).SO EVERY VILLIAN KNOWS ABOUT THE Mr. BRIBERY CASE. EVERY VILLIAN REMEMBERS WHEN IT OCCURRED…. LUCKY SAMMIE HAS FOUND TWO GOLD BARS. LUCKY, LUCKY SAMMIE..And has Lieutenant Teevo been fully disgested, yet?.PANDA PANDA has lost another thirty pounds..What will happen to Dick? He’s so, so weak..SO EVERY VILLIAN KNOWS ABOUT THE Mr. BRIBERY CASE. EVERY VILLIAN REMEMBERS WHEN IT OCCURRED…………. LUCKY SAMMIE HAS FOUND TWO GOLD BARS. LUCKY, LUCKY SAMMIE.Come On Really!?!

Like I said, it’s a matter of professionals dealin’ wit amateurs.Ya almost feel sorry for ’em. Almost.

Ahh, I lke the way this is heading … I hope it’s a really long shock.
