Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for April 23, 2024

Sam has a very important appointment at the deli.

Sam looks like he’s not one to mess with in panel three…

Good morning™, all!

Tracy couldn’t get much of anything out of Blowtop and I doubt Sam will do any better, but I guess it’s worth a try.

Good morning™, Hot Potato Avoiders !

Sam steps up where Tracy steps back. Is it too early to go to pouch and get real answers ?  Sam could pick up a sandwich on the way as payment for a hot scoop.

Sam’s not wearing a red shirt, but he is wearing a red bowtie. Uh oh….

Hoo boy! Wait’ll Blowtop hears the news about Croptop!

Blowtop is not Ms. Personality!

Like all the detail panel 1!

Beautiful perspective artwork. Magnifico! Carlos Magnifico!

First day of Pesach, Sam should be a shul rather than working.

Hope everyone who had a Seder last night had a good one.

Look at that expression. “I hope we don’t”

Chucky, your depiction of Sam is bound to cause the General to pee on himself!

Tracy has the posture of a Super Hero in panel two; “The Stupendous Super Dick!”

I am LOVIN’ Ettinger’s work! Great stuff!

is it just me or is he looking forward to it… :\

Oh boy ! I do really like that look in Sam’s eye in the last panel . “Neither will we” he says . Artist and writer hit it today .

Sam has him pegged as a professional not-get-alonger.

Sam, you’re politely inquiring about his sister from Blowtop. You can’t use those interrogation techniques from the 50s on him. Yet.

1-DT: Blowtop said he’d kill the next cop who pestered him so I need you to go ask him about CroppieTop. Oh. Nice job on the floors last night – they really shine!

2-SARCASTIC SAM: OH GREAT. A SUICIDE MISSION! raises arm ME! ME! LET ME DO IT! I’M DUMB AND EXPENDABLE!

3-… Well I’m not that dumb you chickensh*t – early lunch here I come.

MOVIE QUOTE—-

“We can’t find her head, either”

Policeman at crime scene—-HORRORS OF THE BLACK MUSEUM—1959

Sam was on the force in 1950 but he didn’t meet Bigmouth then and wasn’t in on the capture, They didn’t meet until the 50th Anniversary story.

Sam looks like he’s going to enjoy this one. Don’t forget to bring your Ram’s horn, Sam. Blow loves music.

Nice exchange here, Mike. We have a little movement to the plot. Carlos Magnifico is nailing the vibe here as well. Sam is looking menacing and I’m looking forward to seeing him put some pressure on Blowtop. Good day in the strip!

Everyone like Sam.

What makes Sam think and Tracy for that matter how Blowtop and this relative get along so well? She does not strike me as the type who confides in their kin folk.

OT: Well, a rotten two days over, with nothing but water add prep. Plus they had to stab me five times to find a vein to draw blood. I hate these routine checks. Plus, as I was going under, I SWEAR Yeti was doing the procedure. 2 small bits of me going for biopsy. We THINK no cancer this check-up, so I’m going to go with that.

Sam sounds like he is looking forward to it.

I really like p3.
