Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for August 11, 2020

Good morning™, everyone!

They flip-flopped the first frame again and GoComics, as usual, didn’t get the revised version.

The head count is probably one higher than Tracy has seen.

“All right, everybody line up in front of me while I tell us what we already know. And get a couple uniforms to fill out the background.”

Awkward word balloon tail placement. It looks like Lizz is doing the talking.

Otherwise, it’s great to see the whole Team together!

Good morning™, flipped out ’tooners !

It’s all been said but nice to know that GC gets the early bird renderings.

The best part is when GC gets the unedited Wiley Bear coloring pages!

Interesting that we’re seeing the whole gang on this caper.

Too bad the caper seems hardly worth it.

The cavalry is here but don’t they need a warrant?

thats a helluva hunch tracy came up with…. was it even mentioned back in the day that stooge villar had stashed the money in that warehouse, or is it one of those “it happened off panel, get over it” things that we are supposed to blindly accept?

I know what ancient astronaut theorists would say…

Even the second panel is a little weird. Unless, of course, Tracy turned away from the gathering to make his closing comments to the rest of the city.

I’ve never seen the back of Tracy’s head before. Cool. I suspect crooks have never seen it before either because NOBODY sneaks up on Tracy.

Looks like the team just realized they only have a week or two to wrap this epic up, so they’re going to race to a conclusion against absentee-villain Coney and his malicious puppet pal.

“Dethany, you just keep adoring me. I kind of like it.”

Nobody seems to have the body language that suggests a sense of urgency. They all just seem to be passively standing there. This is a scene that should be fast moving and could show some action (or at least movement) but they have chosen to make it another talking head day.

Cue Mission:Impossible theme!

“Cute, Tracy, but this is no time to show off your ventriloquism skills.” said Lizz.

They’ve gathered to rescue Dethany’s boyfriend, but she’s looking as though she has a serious case of hero worship toward Tracy.

I am so far really enjoying this storyline. Does Dethnay appear in another comic strip making this a crossover story?

First panel Deth; put some red in those eyes and you could swear she was grade A stoned.

Other than the art work in panel being flipped (the word balloon belongs to Tracy, not Lizz, as is evident from the script as well as being naturally his as head of the MCU), I like today’s installment, showing the MCU team as well as uniformed backup preparing for a likely “soft” raid on the warehouse where Guy Wyre is almost certainly being held by the hapless Coney Gang….

I love how Tracy’s eyes lose their pupils in the second frame.. nice effect!
