Cool, Chick Tracy has a head like a rooster clucks like a hen! I like chickens …. and ducks, oh yeah Dick Tracy too.I’m not sure if I’ve seen any that color or not, but it doesn’t matter it’s just a comic. … haint it?
Well, this is a surprise. I didn’t expect BO Plenty to be involved in the Annie-Tracy crossover story. But it’s this kind of surprise that Mike and Joe are famous for!
Just wanted to tell everyone what a great time I had on my vacation, stopping in at Pawnee Oklahoma’s Historical Society and Chester Gould/Dick Tracy Museum. We all know Pawnee is the birthplace of Gould, and this museum has many mementos and memories. We were the only ones there at the time, and got to hear many great stories from the wonderful gentleman who was hosting it that day. One of my favorite items was the original Western Union Telegram to Gould from J.M. Patterson: “YOUR PLAIN CLOTHES TRACY HAS POSSIBILITIES STOP PLEASE CALL TRIBUNE OFFICE MONDAY ABOUT NOON FOR AN APPOINTMENT = J.M. PATTERSON…” He went and the rest is history. So now I can say I’ve been there, got the T-Shirt (bright yellow of course) coffee mug, hat pin and a refrigerator magnet that was a leftover from the closed museum in Woodstock, Illinois. If you get the chance to stop by, I highly recommend it.
Tracy (the Chief of Detectives, not the chicken) has seemed pensive and distracted the last couple of days, as though he has something big or important on his mind. Is he about to make some kind of life-altering decision that will have the effect of making him available to help Daddy Warbucks, and Punjab and the Asp, in the search for Annie?
Spoiler alert! Spoiler Alert!.Little Orphan Annie has just been spotted!.Check today’s Gasoline Alley!.Maybe this scrubs the entire next “arc”!.Let’s look for Moon Maid, instead!
I think Tracy is suspicious about Montana Joe. Remember how he took off during the fight in the studio. Gertie is the one who noticed him missing. Hence Tracy’s visit, to determine just when he slipped out?We’re all agreed (Tarry included) that he went out his truck, unlocked his rifle, and loaded it – something that would have taken several minutes.And several of us noted that Joe didn’t shout a warning to Tracy and Sam before firing.Is the Angus case really over?
B.O. , I don’t think Dick Tracy is flattered to have chicken named after him. After all, I would concerned if “Chick Tracy” would try to cross the road! Anyway, good shooting Montana Joe! I guess you would make a good sniper on Dick Tracy’s SWAT team!
Maybe I’m just too distrusting, but…Since Angus owned a race track and movie studio as part of his money laundrying operation, could he also have been involved in the radio station?If he were, he might have stashed some of his dirty cash there. It would explain his sudden urge to ride there.He could have stopped to grab the money…Of course, finding a live program in progress, and Joe’s friendly, “Hey, Carl, It’s our neighbor Mr. On-the-run,” didn’t help.

Anybody else and Tracy would feel like Rodney Dangerfield, but from B.O., it’s a real compliment. Tracy knows that.

You mean Bo finally got Tracy’s last name right? Shouldn’t it be Chick Bracy or Chick Macy?

Chick Tracy… :D

Actually, B.O. thinks Locher is still doing the strip. In that case, B.O. hit the nail on the head.

At least it wasn’t a duck. Though B.O. probably raises those, too…

Actually, it was Darrell. I’m going to write him a thank you note today. (Didn’t ask him if he had two brothers, Larry and another Darrell…)

I wonder if, now that we have Chick Tracy, if Tracy & Co. will have an assist from another well-known crime fighter.
