Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 13, 2017

Neil called the “Mr. Bribery” callback.

And “Matty Squared” ‘was’ last seen “Moving Money” from bank-to-bank, soooooooo …

Good morning everyone!

New story! LOL j/k

From panel two to three, I see Ebony and ivory.

Why isn’t INTERPOL after Bribery? And why don’t they jump him once he lands stateside?

From yesterday, NightGaunt49: Yes, we are aware that banks aren’t government (though they tend to operate with special protection from the same, aka “too big to fail”). However, many of us end up taking those banks to court to resolve differences – that’s when the blur occurs between government and banks.

I’m having an uneasy feeling about Lee’s cell phone conversation with Tracy- I hope their connection in encoded.

Looking forward to the return of my all-time favorite Tracy villain!

Is it just me, or did the BO Plenty ID theft just end? Did I miss something? In one instance, the 3-Margie’s story goes on for months and months; with the BO story, it was over before they got to the perp. I guess some folks will call me a troll and resume their daily flagging to the Moderator to ban me for life, but I must have missed the genius part.

So what has Lee been doing all this time, if not at MCU? Living undercover as T-Bolt?

The 3-Margie’s story goes on for months and months. . .

Actually, the Margies story was a couple of days over 8 weeks – in other words, two months. And that included the somewhat self-indulgent first part, where they spent more time than they really needed on the Cos-U-Con, so that Shelley could have fun drawing all those costumes. But it was a pretty good story, once they got to the crime, with some actual detective work, and depictions of Tracy and Sam in action, with Shelley’s art, which I found to be very “Tracy-like”

As for this sequence with B.O., I hope it is relevant to the story they are now setting up, because they worked in a major ret-con about how B.O. got that house. if it was just a one-off joke, they should have left strip history alone. (They should anyway, in my opinion, but it makes more sense to mess with the canon if they needed this new situation for a big story, I guess.)

Please be assured that I never thought of you as a “troll”, and I never flagged you at any time!

Being an older man with Parkinson’s Disease, I often confuse what for others is crystal clear. Perhaps there was something in the story of the Margies that pointed to their penchant for desecration of Jewish grave sites? Also,I remember Big Margie saying that breaking the stones was not as hard (or easy?) as it once was. Who broke Mysta’s head stone? Please excuse my dulled capacity and know that I find the knowledge displayed here first rate. Thank you.

I suspect Bribery’s rose-scented hand in why the bank wants to foreclose on BO Plenty’s land. Might it have something to do with the old air car that was found there?

We can anticipate the return of Lee Ebony, eagerly awaited. She lends a no-nonsense action-heroine potential that seems to be lacking in what Lizz is allowed to do in the strip. And of course since her return is contingent on the return of Mr. Bribery-Big, we will have a suitable arch-villain, plus all of his flunkies, minions, and associates in crime!

I’m looking forward to Mr. Bribery buying the farm….and this time for real.

I might have Parkinson’s too although I’m only 73 years young.What about the poltergeists bothering B.O. Plenty’s home?The exorcist refused so are the poltergeists still there? What part do they play in this story, if any? Is the author just makingthis all up as we go along leaving loose ends all over the place?
