Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for July 22, 2016

Will he choke on it …?

.Good morning fellow DT fans!.Nice to have you back, Gweedo!

Hmmmm….another story line or another Rikki hit?

exploding goldfish, lol?

Man these writers have been all over the place lately. Are they trying to confuse us or figure out where they’re going with all this? Maybe they should bring back Fearless Fosdick for a week.

I hate to say it, but it feels like lately, the strip has had more padding than a sofa.I love the Ghost Who Walks, but almost a whole week with a guest appearance of someone that couldn’t be shown, or named? (And then ending with Tracy revealing The Phantom’s secret.)The only thing that happened that week was the Saturday strip telling us that Honeymoon had been ‘communicating’ with Mysta, and she has a problem.-I honestly don’t care about the radio station unless Rikki shows up in her monster truck, and devours the transmitter tower. Or the goldfish swallows the radio host.

Maybe it’s one of those “Goldfish” crackers? LOL

.I’m enjoying the variety here. Every day brings something new and different..Abner’s probably anxious for Tracy to arrive in London, though.

Me? I can’t stand the tension!

I was expecting Rikki to give her ride some more snacks today…

I wish they would grab one story line and hang onto it for awhile. We’re all over the place here.

Mayor Armstrong will be begging for Tracy to come home if Rikki’s rampage continues unchecked.

I love stand-alone radio stations like that in panel 2, not radio stations that have to share an office suite like the ones in Atlanta here.

I wonder if the caller, Leonard Smart, is really Phishface. It would explain the raw fish eating request.

I can’t see how that fish stunt makes much sense on a radio show.

Okay; I’m completely baffled. Presumably this will somehow tie into some storyline. But for now, totally out in left field….

Oh, SMART! I read it as Snart, and thought that it was a guest mention from another Rogues Gallery.

Gweedo cautioned,I would sleep with one open if I were you, VB !-——————————————————————-.Hee, hee.

So, like…..ummmm…..who’s Tom?

I would fake the fish eating if it was only over the radio.____________________

I’ve heard lightbulb-eating faked over the radio, so why not?

Wonder if Mike is drawing upon real-life experience again.

And, since this is RADIO, how is Mr. Smart going to verify Tom is really eating a goldfish?

Gweedo corrected himself and added,…if Rikki starts practicing work habits at home you may not have any eyes to have open !-————————————————————————-.Rikki appears to be enjoying her new ride!

Tomorrow never knows…

Nice pick of station call letters. From what I can find it’s not assigned so it acts like “555” in fictitious phone numbers.

I don’t mind the change of scene. We have to see the setup and the crime before Tracy can come in and solve it.

???? More loose ends than LOST

I think the point of today is that Gravel Gertie I’d still around and maybe the radio station is a source of news on Rikki’s activities aside from the ubiqitous newspaper headlines we’ve seen on recent stories.

I think we are about to catch up on the happenings of B.O. Plenty’s family.

I aas thinking about that. It’s possible that Tom Wood is streaming video of his radio studio on the Internet as well. I know of a few stations where that is done.

I won’t try to post my usual weekly summary Saturday because of Internet connectivity problems but I will try to post it Sunday..
