Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Good morningâ˘, Sad Misshappen Detectives from another dimension !
Dick looks lugubrious due to his lack of progress while Palmer maintains a stolid, solid composure. Is the perfect crime in progress or is this guy really on the level ?
âWorse such luckâ? Who says that? I donât speak Yiddish, is that a word-for-word translation of some High German colloquialism? In fact, where is Popskiâs exaggerated accent in that panel? He didnât speak telegraphically before. Is he dropping the shtick?
This story has everything. A victim with the name of a famous user of poisons (Borgia). His partner Colonel Klink, who knows nothing, nothing! The couple from the (Molly) Goldberg radio show. And tea, an important component of an Arnold PALMER (get it)! All thatâs missing is Samâs sandwichâŚâŚ
I think the art is just fine. Donât know what half of you are going on about.Action packed? Itâs three panels .. how much action do you expect on a daily basis.I swear most of you moan and groan just to try and be âcleverâ.
You all have pointed out the rougher parts of the art today. Iâll note an element I find interesting, and those are the ghost lines suggesting a reflection on the window behind them. Thatâs kind of hard for the colorist to do, and leaving them the same color as the rest of the window is appropriate.
In terms of a police investigation, it would have been better if Popski had let Palmer answer that question. In fact, itâs typically better to not have interviewees listen in on each othersâ interviews. You want to separate people and interview each one of them independently at the crime scene and then interrogate any of that need further questioning separately at the police station. Especially when thereâs something as serious as a murder. This doesnât make Tracy look like he knows what heâs doing.
1-DT: What kind of poison did you use? PERPSKI: CyaâŚuhâŚwhat are you talking about?
2-DT: HA! You almost fell for my clever interrogation technique! On a different topicâŚHOW DID YOU ADMINISTER THE POISON??? PERPSKI: I put it in hisâŚ
3-POOPSKI: I can only pray you have room for Jewish Apple Cake left over from Rosh Hashanah? So good it could raise the dead, bubala! DT:OY! So closeâŚ
This was Shelleyâs last Dick Tracy. And I have to agree with Batster above, she may have gave us and the strip a subtle goodbye in the last panel especially.
Mr. Pleger, if by chance you are reading this. Could you please thank Shelley for what she has done on Dick Tracy and the enjoyment her art has bought us by bringing Dick Tracy alive during her tenure.
I hope for the best for the both of you in the future.

Good morningâ˘, everyone!
Weâve established that Palmer poured the tea (clumsily). That makes him the #1 suspct at the moment.

Did Tracy pull his finger gun in Panel 2 or did he ask Palmer to pull his finger. Ericâs stories can be too complicated for meâŚ
