Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for July 12, 2019

Good morning™, persistent questioners!

I’m actually a little surprised that they are heading out. Annie talked as if she was staying all summer. The summer isn’t over yet, is it? I suppose she still has that journalism camp this summer, but we readers will be concerned with other characters, I’m sure.

Oops, Oliver looks perturbed. This might be their LAST visit to Traceyville!!

I was just stinking, errr, thinking. Maybe Oliver is paying Trixie a handsome amount to stay out of the USA and assume a new identity.

WE might hear it all now.

Good morning™, cornered ex hubbies !

Will Ollie get out of there with his skin ?

Oops, sore point

Oliver’s chance to…Time to change the subject!!!

Yes, tell us Olivier.

Oliver is pinned down for an answer now, let’s see what he says!

Dick Tracy is always with his eyes closed and these guys don’t have no irises. Eye don’t understand! ;o)

Curiosity is part of being a Detective.

BB Eyes will most likely be taken OFF the Docket while the DA prepares the new charges; then more stalling and legal shenanigans will ensue. We’ll be lucky to see this go to trial anytime soon.

1- WARBUX: Before you go Tracy, let me show you something… 2- I paid $100 million for this painting. I take it with me wherever I go. TRACY: Because something within each of the artist’s paint strokes speaks to your very soul? 3- WARBUX: Yeah. It says ‘SUCKAAAA!’ TRACY: Wow! That’s what I hear too! That and ‘YOU HUNG ME UPSIDE DOWN’.

“Just between you and me… before you begin… ‘You have the right to remain silent…’”

From today’s Comics Curmudgeon:

Ha, nice try, [Richard], but you don’t get to be a billionaire war profiteer without knowing a thing or two about how to deal with nosy cops, and one thing you know is that you definitely don’t answer casual questions about how it sure looks like you killed your wife without, like, a team of lawyers present.

Oh the suspense, the suspense. ZZZZZzzz

just between us-yeah sure.sherlock holmes or hercule poirot even Tom Barnaby would look the other way but dick tracy?

Just when you thought you were gonna walk away clean, eh Ollie?

“Well, I’ll tell you Tracy – it was the strangest thing – all of a sudden her face lit up and she announced that she had a vocation to enter a cloistered nunnery – I let her off the boat in Ireland, she joined the Cloistered Sisters, took a vow of silence, and damned if I ever heard from her again…”

Future comment: “This strip has been up for four weeks now. What the heck happened to Dick Tracy?”

It would appear that persistent Detective Tracy has annoyed his pal, Daddy, with this return to the question of Trixie’s fate. What Oliver’s reaction will be, or whether he will deign to answer, should prove interesting….

I seem to have lost the thread. Wasn’t the whole point of the exercise to find Trixie so she could testify against BB Eyes?
