Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for July 26, 2024

why does the Queen song “Under Pressure” come to mind at this moment?…

for Bordy and Ms.Drivel…

Author! Author!

Sorry, it’s all drawn out suspense. Same as the endless weeks of buildup to get to this point. It’s all fluff and filler. Plus the pacing is terrible.

Poor Ms. van Duviel. She doesn’t know gunfire is no longer allowed in the Tracy strip. I hear in the next story, Tracy & FlatTop are going to be throwing give-away lollipops at each other during a bank hold-up.

“Wait, you’re saying I could rid of you, AND my now inconvenient lover? What to do, what to do.”

Good morning™, Chik’n Schitts !

This is sick. No one got shot and tomorrow it will be Tracy and gang coming through the door, to quell EVERY possibility of some great gun play. Tracy might, at best, pop a round into the ceiling to get people’s attention.

START BUSTIN’ CAPS, DUDE !!!!

Shoot him? You is sure he good at hitting target? What if bullet hits you instead?

Catch 22!

One of those darned if you do and darned if you don’t !

“Eat hot lead. sister!”

Did Gabe put the presses into overdrive for them to self destruct?

tomorrow we’ll see tracy’s hand raised to knock on the door, sunday he might actually knock!

Wonder if Sarah & Cherry have safely arrived yet at the Horizon Home for Larcenous Ladies?

Is it still almost 8 o’clock? The seconds tick by, you know.

MOVIE QUOTE—

“I’ll hold you all for the next 72 hours! And they won’t be the most pleasant 72 hours you ever spent!”

Police Inspector Henry Mowbray—-MURDER BY TELEVISION—1935

I FINALLY got back. The “miracles of modern technology” fried my work computer and it took one week to get back online.

I trust Firestrike and his slightly legal activities have kept you entertained in the meanwhile

….I STILL think he’s gonna fall into the compactor hisself…….along with the lady…..their dying screams should be the stuff of legend……oh, and Bordern’ll likely not pull a single shot off…too busy emptying his bladder out onto the floor……

So…tomorrow we see that FATA AND RIKKI HAVE RETURNED!

(I’d wager a sawbuck on that at a million to one odds. What a windfall if I was right!)

Love is deadly.

1- BORDO: See a gun, pick it up and day long you’ll be real tough!

2- SALLY SIDEPIECE: ADD SOME DIRECTED HOT LEAD TO THIS SCENARIO!!! BORDO: QUIET! I’M PRAYING TO THE SAINT OF GOOD AIM! SALLY: Wow – they got one for everything these days!

3- KASPER GUTMAN JR: Ha-rumpf. Indeed – we could trade lead OR come to a mutually beneficial trade. To wit: My TWO strumpets, Cherry and Sarah for your Crypto and your paramour – a most talented individual from what I’ve seen of the recordings.

BORDO: TWO you say… SALLY: You can’t be consid… BORDO: DEAL!

“In writing a novel, when in doubt have two guys come through the door with guns”—RAYMOND CHANDLER

Okay,we’re still waiting for FOUR armed cops to show up and even out the odds a little.

The nervous guy can always threaten to throw 5 million bucks into the hot lead, which should certainly get Mr.Sideburns’ attention…..

Nice drawing of a Sig Sauer!

She hesitated and she doesn’t want Bordie to hesitate?

I don’t see Wick today. How are we gonna know what we just read?

Be with us on Sunday when Pruneface walks in looking for a copy of COLLIER’S MAGAZINE

Somewhat realisitic. How many peopel can actually pick up a gun, and, not be nevous handling it in most any situation.

That wimp, shooting? fat chance!
