Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for April 27, 2023

Good morning™, all!

The date doesn’t seem to be right. I will have to investigate. Cousin Clinique is pretty good looking, by my estimate!

Well, was the wait worth it for us to eyeball “Klinique”?

“Pulletzer Prize”?… oh JEEZ…

and Klinny doesn’t seem to be all that… she’s just a better-looking Plenty, is all… Sparkle looks more attractive, in MY opinion…

I’m back!

Tracy is so smittened by the blonde chicken he’s losing his words in panel one! Tess better dye her hair.

Did Gertie cook the first chicken?

How many ways can you say the same thing?

Good morning™, Spotlighters !

Is Chick being back lighted in P.2. ?

Shelley has done very nicely in Chick’s facial expressions in all three panels. 1. Curiously interested  2. Startled  3. Happy in the bosom of family.

Selling out her species to follow the American Dream!

She’s Beautiful! From B.O.’s family yet, genetics is a strange thing!

THAT is “strikingly beautiful”? Please! B.U. Tiffil is better looking, and so is Perfume, even Sparkle has that “hot mom” thing going for her….and why are b.o.‘s goodlooking relatives all female? It’d be a change to see a goodlooking guy relative for once

followed in her moma’s footprints? ghost chickens in the sky?

She is just " beautiful " for sure , those beautiful " blue " eyes : )

Looking at Cousin Klinique, she may have been adopted

’Congrats on job, B.O.’?

Dick must’ve had a Bizarro moment there….

If there’s a point to this particular arc, I hope we reach it soon….

Good grief.

Who is going to be remembered more from the commercial? The bird, or, the woman? Personally, I’d think the woman.

""Yep. We wuz like that’ Donder Party. Reeeeeal hungry , an’ she wuz thar an ‘a l. Plus, we had sprouts an’ sech. Fried up REAL good!"

(Yes, I know it’s Donner, but artistic license and all)

TOLD you this was an evil chicken!! Tying Tracy’s shoelaces together in order to start an unchecked crime wave!

Untie a shoe. What shall she do?

Klinique takes things in hand

A hen not plucked may kaw and cluck

Soon seen across the land.

A spokesbird for Chick-N De-Lites

This bird is bound for glory

Chick Tracy game may lead to fame

Connect with Gameboy’s story.

Two good looking hens!

1- DT: SAM! Haven’t you seen enough crotch shots? Get off the floor! SAM: But I think that chicken is trying to tie your shoe strings together! What’s up with that thing??

2- SPACE CHICKEN: CURSES! FOILED AGAIN! DAM THESE BIPEDS!

3- SPACE CHICKEN: _When we conquer the Earth, we will keep some of them around. Like this one here. FOR EARTH BREAST SANDWICHES. BWA BUH BUUUUCKKKKK!_

Well, it took a few days to see her. Not sure what the prolonged reveal was for. Shelley certainly know how to draw attractive women. Klinique favors my daughter.

And with this, two stars will born.

MOVIE QUOTE—

“They were sentenced to be hanged,not lynched”.

(Sheriff) Herbert Rudley—-THE BRAVADOS—1958

Tuesday April 25th was the 83 rd Birthday of actor Al Pacino,alias “Big Boy Caprice”.

Let us all wish him a happy.And as a present,we will agree not to mention CRUISING

Okay,Klinique is beautiful.

And this is nothing.One of BO’S brothers had a pet alligator.

Its favorite trick was eating tresspassers and arsonists.

You seldom hear of B.O.‘s cousin, BS Plenty. He’s in Politics!

My daughter has lost so many chickens to racoons, foxes, dogs, etc. that I don’t want to start raising any myself.

An old SMOTHERS BROTHERS sketch had Tom presenting his new discovery,a singing mosquito.

His brother Dick accidentally slaps it to death.When Tom complains,Dick says “EVERYBODY kills mosquitos!”

Tom says—“I know!That’s why so few of them make it in show business!”

So what happened to the original Chick Tracy?

Imagine cousin Klinique wearing the uniform of a fast-food franchise advertising Chick’n De-Lites with the barnyard bird.

When these Chick’n De-Lites air on television, will Gameboy develop a crush on cousin Klinique? Only Mike and Shelley know for sure and they are playing their cards close to the vest.

Chick Tracy II seems too daring, even brash, to last very long in the ruthless world of show business. Sunday dinner, soon. Cousin Klinique, on the other hand, while attractive enough, likewise seems too young and innocent (? We don’t know and don’t want to know: I said seems) for anything more than a short run as a spokesmodel alongside Chick Tracy II for Chick’n De-Lites. Who else remembers “Mean Mary Jean” (Judy Strangis, then in her mid-20s) shilling for Plymouth cars in the mid-’70s?

Could this current action be a set-up for a future story? Only instead of blaming the butler, folks will say the chicken did it.
