But at least the audio comes though loud, clear and jarring. It is good that she said “calling Dick Tracy” as others with that device would likely hear the call, as they would on a car radio and you know if your name is not Tracy to just disregard until your name is called out. If you are a toddler P.1. Tracy is what you would see.
Very large restoration of an old factory. They’ve worked on the lower levels to rent out space. Restoring the clock tower has no profit and is a low priority… if they plan to do it at all. And yet, with his ESP Tracy is laser focused on this element of the project and will be investigating it shortly. Nothing to suggest the tower has anything to do with anything, but Tracy knows it does.
I hate to complain about Tracy’s ESP ‘cause I find it a stupid crutch in a strip that was once concerned with police work, but I imagine that other readers are grateful because it moves the strip along faster if we aren’t shown Tracy pursuing a hundred dead ends before stumbling on a solution.
But I’m still a little curious why stripping the factory of metal for salvage left everything up in the clock tower.
OK, why would she bother calling and distracting Tracy to let him know that later, she will actually tell him something? That’s a very weird narrative device. Why not just cut to the station and her explaining?

The distorted upward angle makes it look like he’s wearing a Bowler in P1.

Whew … I was getting worried there. It’s been a whole week since we’ve seen a cup of coffee in the strip.

In panel 2 Tracy only has a radio wrist watch. Didn’t he have a tv wrist watch?

Another nameless character goes off-panel. Maybe if he ever comes back, we’ll find out he is related to the nameless homicide detective LOL
