Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for April 27, 2014

What is that talent? And is someone holding Kolossal from behind?

Good morning guys

Hmmm… Nightmare.

Good Morning, VB! Nice to see you here this early!i

Gweedo!

Talking about nightmares, I bet that Kolossal will have one.

Any relation to Meditation?

Colossal is being given a ticket to ride, and pretty soon, he’ll be beyond caring!

Ooh, a horse called Nightmare — this is getting Spooky! Where’s Wendy Witchel when you need her?

Angus’ horse isn’t the Nightmare horse I remember.

Something for you Harvey Toon fans out there.

This wouldn’t be the first horse named Nightmare if you know what I mean. ;)

Anyone want to take bets on whether or not Nightmare knows how dance a jig on Kolossal’s head?

Isn’t that nice! A Nightmare for Kolossal! Yessiree!

Um, in the Casper comic books, Nightmare’s friend was a ghost horsefly named Harry.

maybe “she” will be a nightmare

Moon Maid will charm the horse and give Angus and Kolossal a shocking experience

It’s a talking horse, of course!

And apparently I need to read further before I blurt out a comment that about two dozen others have made… :-~

Crimestoppers: Good customer service pays!

Nightmare might be rodeo stock that Kolossal will get tied onto – or behind. Why not save all the theatrics and just shoot him?

Morrow is probably the best guess this morning. Problem is, if used in an actual shoot, it’s Mindy who will be on his back. Horse may try to hurt Mindy; feeling threatened, Mindy may be unable to control her powers….Tarry Plaguer: I had forgotten that Sad Sack was a Harvey character! Sure miss him. Much better than Beetle Bailey..My favorite character, not just a Harvey character, had to be Little Lotta!

Why not Zeebah from Pearls Before Swine? And toss in a couple of crocs to help Zeebah win the race!

The Sunday LimerickAngus enters the office… Surprise!He knows all about Sparkplug’s disguise.Nightmare’s “gift,” undefined,is most surely designedto be key in Kolossal’s demise.

Good morning all ! Enjoy the somewhat damp & cloudy week-end.

I’m guessing Nightmare learned his “special talent” from his trainer.

Actually, Lois is Beetle’s sister!

This is a horse of a different color….

Wonderful job Team Tracy!!! I can’t wait until Tracy Finds Annie. It’s a dream come true that the story will have an ending.

So, Kolossal was going to run the horse in a race again. I was wondering about that. Also, I didn’t realize before that he was doing “publicity photos” across town. That would be what Kolossal wanted Mysta to cover up, because he told Angus the horse would be acting with her.

I never noticed before how much Angus’s nose looks like a cat’s nose.

I wrote that last comment before I went to bed, but I forgot to press “Submit.” Maybe I wanted to add something but got interrupted. I will note that I think this is the first time we’ve seen a profile view of Angus. I love the detailed drawing of the horse’s head in the last panel.

I can’t believe Kolossal is getting off so easily. Is Nightmare there to teach him a lesson, or to destroy the production to collect insurance money?

Angus being of Celtic stock, why do I feel there’s an old-fashioned equine-style curb-stomp about to happen?

Is that Shelley Plager’s signature in the lower right?

Yep! Sure is. Feel free to click the image for a larger version.

Oh, and it’s spelled Pleger not Plager. I’ll give you points for getting Shelley correct though.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Take his mustauche off, and “he’s” the lost Annie, warbucks is looking for !

@Ronnie ‘Starman1948’ Thompson

I hope and pray that your eye will be normal ASAP. Keep hope alive, good sir.

UPDATE ON MY LEFT EYE: I saw the eye surgeon earlier this week. I have some inflammation in my left eye. He put me on 2 types of Eye drops for the next 12 weeks. Prayers and best wishes are appreciated.
