Mr. Clark looks a little taken aback that the incident he’s been trying to keep a secret is already known to police, but I think he needs the help, so he won’t question it further.
Someone set a negative balloon overlay for this panel. I like how Dick doesn’t dwell on the apparent wrong doing of delayed reporting but is focused on the task of finding the thief and how they were able to do this large scale theft.
Naturally this bank official is going to be bent out of shape. The publicity would put a padlock on the bank’s doors. Then there would be anxious depositors and nervous employees to deal with.
Mr. Clark…now would be a good time for you to pop a Rolaids in your mouth. The fact that a non-bank official like Tracy knows about the cyber heist…upset stomach time.
Dick Tracy should have hunted Jeffrey Levitt and his fat wife Karol who started the Saving and Loan scandal in Maryland where they stole over 15 million from their own bank !!!
“Oh, and I’m here to arrest you for failure to report this to the FDIC as required by law and mentioned in yesterday’s strip. Turn around and let me slap the cuffs on.”
MIKE, MIKE, MIKE! Have your cast of characters do a run-though of their lines the night before! Tract shouldn’t have to prompt them on their own dialog! I just hope this doesn’t happen before a spirited gun battle where he has to carry on a running string of cross comments for everyone else! (ducking and running)
TRACY (as hard-nosed Thug # 1): Taste my hot whizzing DEATH, Tracy!
TRACY: HA! You missed by a mile and, Liverwurst Lips, and nailed Sam’s hat (for the thousandth time)!
TRACY (as Thug # 1): Well, I can do better, copper! I’m gonna’ spin his cute little bow time for him, an’ then YOU’RE next! OH, and the NAME is Pastrami Puss, by the way. That HURT!
TRACY as Sam): NOOO! Who’ll look over all the cool things I ‘borrowed’ from crime scenes and the Evidence Lockers?
TRACY: You just TRY that, Anne Oakley!
TRACY (as Sam): Mother of God. Is this the end of Rico…er Sam??
You tell him, Chief Detective! This bank president (vel sim.) is entirely too smug and self-satisfied, considering that he is in deep doo-doo for non-compliance with FDIC regulations and will be in trouble as well with the bank’s insurers. Mr. Clark is about to get taken down a few notches! Will he become cooperative with Tracy in hopes of saving his wrinkly skin?…

The best and only way to rob a bank is in a 3 piece suit! Steal a little and you go to prison. Steal big and they make you king!

1-DT: Well, don’t you look swell…
2-…But you really smell.
3-CLARK: I don’t find that in the least bit funny, Tracy!
DT: Who’s joking? Have you been smoking Pell Smell cigarettes? Eating at Taco Smell? Smell-O gelatin for dessert?
CLARK: What are you doing here Tracy? What exactly do you want???
DT: Oh, nothing. Just killing time.

The dialog balloon in the first panel is pointed the wrong way. It indicates Tracy is doing the talking and calling Clark “Detective Tracy.”

Banker looking suitably pompous.
Not much of a vocabulary beyond “Harrummph”.
You wonder if Mr.Memory’s shack is where Felton’s Barber Shop USED to be.Aside from the greenhouse it was the only building close to Sunny Dell.

In the first panel, the word balloon is pointing towards Tracy, even though it is the bank president who should be saying that.

Either the banker is a ventriloquist or Tracy is flubbing his lines!
