Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 10, 2022

Good morning™, everyone!

Interrupted once again, just before he can steal more money. Who (or what) is at the door?

Honeymoon?

it’ll be ATTITUDE paying him a visit…LOL

Splitface?

Either Attitude Plenty is loose, or the dangling Matty Squared plotline is going to be resolved.

Cinnabon Knight

Good morning™, surprise visitors !

Well at least it doesn’t appear to be a threat like if Tracy or some other police were at the door. If that is l’il Attitude Plenty his knock is sure mature sounding for such a little as yet squirt. That bank will still be there once you’ve shooed away the interruption. Maybe it is Gravel Gertie, she certainly fits the category of “what are you ?”. LOL !

I like how Wally perches on his # 1 food ticket guy; just like a pirate’s parrot, and what is Memory if only a modern day pirate ?

Gravel Gertie is there to bring him her newly baked cake. What good neighbors Memory have :)

Yeah, Mr. Memory can move thousands or millions of dollars out of banks with just a few key strokes, but he can’t come up with a basic front door camera surveillance system?

Nice little cliffhanger, that. Just who or what has come calling?

A little discretion would go a long way. Enjoy the twenty million or so you’ve already stolen before you bankrupt every country in the world. People may notice when you’re the only one on the planet with any $.

“Great Zeus’! Reminds me of Parry White’s “Great Caeser’s Ghost” !

In a wild case of “Deus ex Machina” it’s Honeymoon Tracy, selling magazine subscriptions.

maybe Tracy’s superhero buddy

It couldn’t be Tracy, alreay, could it?

“HI! We’re the perkily adorable Smurfs!! Can we talk to you about our lord and master the Quik Bunny? And after that, maybe we’ll have Surfette do her infamous Dance of Half A Dozen Cockatil Napkins to distract you while we loot your house!”"

I sense an unexpected cameo.

“WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU SINGING A DREADFUL, DEPRESSING SONG AT ME AND DOING THAT KING FU ACTION FLOUNDERING?!?!?!?!”

“Hey, we’re the Banana Splits. Did you see our new movie? Heeheeheeheehee…

“I’m the Unknown Comic. Things have been lean since The Gong Show tanked, but I’m ready for a comeback. PULL MY FINGER!”

You know, I ask myself that every morning when I pry my eyes open and look into the bathroom mirror.

I’m Batman.

“Landshark”

His first impulse was to say, “Great Caesar’s Ghost!” but that was taken…

What is with Mr. Memory? He could not who is it before opening the door? The way he is looking down…must be those tiny green men who will say “take us to your leader”.

Oh! Oh! Sic ’em Walter.

1-MEMORY: I LOVE BOXING ON TV! GIVE HIM A LEFT! A RIGHT!

2-WALTER PIGEON: WHO! WHO! MEMORY: HOW WOULD I KNOW??? I’ll go see…

3-…Hansel? Gretel? This house ain’t made outta ginger bread! Go on! Beat it ya little sh*ts! GEEZ! Fairy tales of all things. What is it – Pride Month? OH! Come back, kids. I get the connection now!!!

maybe it’ll be either the Great Gazoo or Marvin the Martian at Memory’s door… LMAO

Whenever I’m hacking into a bank, I always remember to monologue to my owl. It pays to be considerate.

Hang on tight, Walter! It’s getting a little shaky in there! I like the little owl

MOVIE QUOTE—-

“I’m Nick! The chauffeur!!”

Clark Gable—NIGHT NURSE—1931

It’s probably Gravel Gertie.The Brow asked the same question and you remember how HE looked!!

BewaRE OF HER “turnip surprise”;it’s killed better men than you.

It’s Mattie Square, not Squared

Mmmph….he’s looking towards the floor….somebody’s Roomba must’ve slipped away and went exploring………

Walter is the best lil’ owl!

uhoh

Looking for ways to mix in ANNIE with DT?

One Leonard Starr-era story I remember vividly dealt with a woman with a photographic memory who got a job as personal secretary to a big shot named “Banggavel”;not knowing the business was an organized crime front.

When Bang keeled over dead from a heart attack,the Mob was worried she’d been told “confidential information”.She found herself in the middle of a mob war and had to go into witness protection.

Along with her father,who thought the year was 1943 and was hoarding war materials in the garage,

Girl Scout cookies sir?

Walter is the star of the day! A delightful little Little Owl (Athena’s companion and symbol of wisdom), he keys the action. Portly short Mr. Memory has to interrupt his looting to answer the demanding knock-knock-knock at his chamber door. He looks down at the knocker, to whom he refers as a “what.” Given the neighborhood in which he is dwelling and doing his dastardly electronic deeds, it seems most likely to me that this is the advent of Attitude Plenty.

Why has he come knocking? That remains to be seen, but probably has to do with neighborliness….
