Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 16, 2017

Good morning all!

How can he turn down a lady begging him to help?

Ugly Christine on the monitor! I wonder if she might be worse into the upcoming story somehow.

ahhhh….Tracy is to into the Bribery case to deal with B.O.’s stuff.

Two panels today.

How come they’re going to the bank? Isn’t their lawyer looking after it?

Unless they are going to rob it, I’d recommend Tracy stay put! He’s on duty.

I haven’t seen Ugly Christine in years….um….decades.

I was gonna put on my “STILLDAMATT SCHOOL OF CRITICISM HAT” and complain about how the monitor behind tracy seems to have moved from behind his RIGHT shoulder to behind his LEFT, but I stopped and thought about it and came to the conclusion that Tracy swiveled his chair to greet Gertie, so HIS position moved, not the monitor’s

I see now she is using her familial connexions to try to get Dick Tracy to ride herd over B.O. before he does something the police will have to clean up.

For those who missed it yesterday, here are pictures and video of last night’s tribute to the late Adam West in Los Angeles …

My prediction yesterday that Tracy would surely be asked by B.O. to go to the bank with him was technically wrong, as Mike amped up the Sympathy Angle by having Gertie at her most courteous and lady-like implore Tracy to save B.O. from himself and from the vile Paragon. But in spirit at any rate my reading of yesterday’s panel 3 remark by Tracy was correct. For that matter, Dick may not object too strenuously to being lured away from all that paperwork he has his sleeves rolled up to do.

And, in the background, the baleful MCU monitors hint at Mr Bribery’s possible forthcoming involvement, and maybe Ugly Christine’s as well. The faces that appear are, I think, usually not just random….

I see there’s a growing movement in London to house the victims of the recent apartment fire in unused apartments brought up by the international one-percent as investments. Maybe if B.O. & Gertie get evicted a similar populist movement will rise up in sympathy with them.

I still posit that this is a move to clear out the final part of the vast area purchased to be use for some purpose, maybe a mile high sky scraper by someone maybe even Bribery himself or one of his surrogates. Or someone else entirely. I just don’t see any obvious reason why this bank would go after land that is already paid for like this. It must be something big that no one is aware of yet.
