Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for April 09, 2020

Gertie will find out.

Good morning™, paperboys!

Staton and Curtis don’t want us to see Little Attitude any more than B.O. wants Gertie to see what’s in the paper.

This interlude also feels more than a little Gouldian. ✨

I LOVE the Plenty’s , so happy they are being featured in this story.

Good morning™, you lyin’ sacka …. papers !

What’s his next diversionary tactic to keep her off calling the paper ?  She’ll smell the decomposing rat if she isn’t already.

So we finally gonna find out what was making that strange noise now, lol?

Gravel Gertie makes an appearance! Been a while!

Who is Little Attitude?

Oh-oh, B.O. You’d better fess up. Things will go worse for you if you try to hide the truth from Gertie.

Eh, the paper’s probably gone over to not-every-day home delivery like just about every other formerly-daily paper in the US. Get out the tablet or your newfangled smartie-phone, Gertie, and see if what you’re looking for is on your side of the paywall. (Support local journalism!)

is this a couple from another strip with was Annie crosses over?

The Dick Tracy strip has inexplicably turned into Barney Google right down to Gertie’s GOO GOO GOOGELY EYES. (And I don’t want to read Barney Google.)

Looks like a child full of energy.

If I remember correctly Gertie is the smart one.

Comments more interesting than strip day.

Reading all of the knowledge here (Thank you guys) there were and are plenty of Plentys! Idea: feature a baby named Sprinkle Plenty, any parent would know what I mean!

I leave a comment and come back later to see if there were any responses only to fine that my comment is not on the board. This happened again today. I wrote nothing offensive so that can’t be the reason.

RIP Mort Drucker.

Gravel Gertie Plenty is plenty suspicious of B.O. Plenty’s rather lame excuse. The Truth will out! (Almost Shakespeare, the almost forgotten cousin of Sweet William.) She will find the story of The Breathless Mahoney Story and then Little Attitude will learn some new grawlix! It’s a pressing issue!
