One of the best story lines of the past couple of years. Artwork has been much more consistent and higher quality. Locher and Brozman keep up the great work!
Quick, get over to Dick Tracy’s home and steal his newspaper before he can read it. Then your secrets will be safe!
The question is, who exposed the people at We’re Lyin’-terprises? My guess is Miss-Sue-Doko, who was very quick with that enemies list, and who seems quite familiar with all the naughty things that D-cubed’s enemies have done. The only flaw with this theory is that it makes sense.
Where is today’s strip taking place? It’s clearly NOT at Wehrli Enterprises (see building art of the last two days), unless that building’s shape has become unstable due to an unfortunate side effect of the 3-D process. And, for once, there’s no little “you are here” label in the corner of the panel…
Splattered all over the blank front page
Whatever was there, sent the CEO into a rage
Accusations, an indictment do not make
So get a grip you fool, for goodness sake
Corporate malfeasance seems to be the norm
I think it’s in their charter whenever they are formed
But this is Dickies world, so nothing will come of this
It’s just another red herring that we can dismiss
Where the hundred million went, Tracy should be asking
It would solve the case, and in glory he would be basking
But this is Naperville, where reality does not exist
And trying to find it will drive you insane if you persist
These panels should have been among first
Then there would be a reason for the worst
Another day, another twist
We see the strip through a deepening mist
Our vision becomes more obscured
And this strip becomes more absurd.
That nose! The white -haired guy is Dick Tracy’s
long-lost brother! And that goon on the right is
the grandson of Olaf from the Blackhawks.
Hold it! IN the last panel, that white-haired guy
is Kerry Drake, Dick Tracy’s competitor! Now
I know where he was all these years!
What options do the execs at We’re Lyin’terprises have?
A: Take Araldite’s advice and talk to their legal staff.
B: Consult their PR staff about damage control.
C: Buy out the local newspaper to keep it from feeding clues to DT.
D: Concoct some hare-brained scheme in which they will abduct or murder whoever exposed them, thereby digging themselves into an even deeper hole. At this point DT will find them by falling into that hole.

Don’t worry, that’s a tiny little newspaper.

DLisagenius, have you been getting your drugs from Simon Penn?
Regarding today’s installment, since when does a little bad press constitute a corporation being “nailed” or “finished?”

Maybe Tracy and the local reporters should be switching jobs.

No, who’s on first.
Bill Thompson about 14 years ago
He is? So if Who’s on first, and What’s on second, then one of the criminal masterminds at We’re Lyin-terprises must be Double-Header!

Before they give up so quick, they might want to consider a lawyer.

So who nailed them? Ida Know, Not Me.
(Sorry. I had a Jeff Keane moment. Only for a moment, then the moments gone…)
And I’m with WaitingMan. Neon Noodle gave me nightmares!

PUZZLED ! (?) Last Sunday it was called “harassment charges”, NOW it comes as a ‘horse of a different color’ !
This reminds of the CIRCUS story when 2 “Death Threat” notes were characterized as “ranson notes” !.
The ’genius’ in D.L.* ought to be focused enough to ‘remember’ what he WROTE a few days before - so his work doesn’t show him up as the village idiot.

Does Locher have ANY idea where he’s going with this?!?
sydney about 14 years ago
Talking of “HORSES of a DIFFERENT COLOR” - It seems TWO ‘old friends’ are “back” -under different ”pen” names.
These are truly ’VISIONARY’ guys - who have the ability to pick ‘sugar plums’ out of what everyone else sees as a pile of BS !

it’s all over the papers but they’re written in invisible ink apparently.

So, my latest guess is that they write a tight story, make four versions of every strip, then mix them all up and publish them in random order.

You are welcome Wndrwthg, Your Avitar looks pretty aggressive compared to mine, but like Tracys Strip it will slowly change too.
