Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for August 22, 2012

First!

Vitamin has found the start of a mystery.Day 2, VB!

Good morning all…

Is that Blowhard lying on the pavement?

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone. Yesterday, I was on top of the world!

Mornin’ Vista Bill, and all you other cowpokes, sidewinders, and – Whoa, I’ve gotten carried away by the whole “Vista Bill Film Festival”!I don’t know, Vista Bill, I’m thinking that Blowhard – I mean, Vitamin – is the very polite fellow in the cowboy boots who’s found a body. And a new mystery! Yahoo!

Hey VB, come up for a visit and you’ll be pretty close to the top of the world. I believe that’s a stranger on the ground, as our favorite sidekick is probably in those boots. Wonder if our other recent friend, the barracuda, has a new home in that aquarium?

That poor guy . . . his last words had to be “I wouldn’t be caught dead in this shirt!”

the guy on the ground just realized he coulda had a V-8…

I say! It would seem that Vitamin, a.k.a. Blowhard, has come upon a corpse. I hope it isn’t that of Vista Bill [not the same as our VistaBill; note the differentiating use of a space in the cartoon character’s name]!

It’s always like that at a Vista Bill show: tons of people passed out drunk in the parking lot!

Upon further review, maybe it’s time for Vitamin to give up his drivers license.

VistaBill, you have totally earned this honor. Congratulations!

Well, so it was a fish sign for the aquarium. No sushi. Not that I care….

So Vitamin stumbles upon something Fishy? (c’mon, NO ONE made the bad pun?) Upon Further investigation the vic is revealed to be Gorton Paul?

Has Vitamin found trouble or did it come looking for him?

Number 19… a four spot drop!! OH NO!! lol

maybe the guy on the ground thought he was a flying fish and decided to take a leap? lol! ten bucks says the aquarium is owned by… PHISHFACE!!!!

@blunebottle: It’s a body, Jeeem! It’s a body, Jeem.

He probably got offed because he wouldn’t stop carping about things.

Blowhard Flintheart is the best name since Foghorn Leghorn

So how is Dick Tracy? Does he need transfusions? Is there really a 6-week rule?

sorry night gaunt, boboscar is DEFINITELY the first post regardless of whether or not he commented about the strip. th ebig deal about being the first post is kinda my fault (i guess) since i keep track everyday of where i end up on the list and start my comments with which position i’m at for the day, and my “forever quest” to be at the #1 spot! (which i’ve claimed three times so far!)

Love that, Still Da Man!

Thanks again everyone. You guys are really making my day! And, thanks Mike and Joe for including me in Dick Tracy. I can think of nothing better!

I’m wondering…is Blowhard Flintheart perhaps Vitamin’s brother, rather than Vitamin himself (under a “stage” name,for his B-western phase)? If that’s the cast, could the booted gentleman (speaking rather theatrically) be Vitamin (perhaps coming to the show to say hi to Blowhard)?

@VistaBillIt could not have happened to a nicer loyal Dick Tracy fan & commenter !
