Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for November 28, 2024

De Ring!!! De Ring!!! as Tattoo from Fantasy Island might have said. We now know the whodunit. Next is the whydunit. Also how did he manage to disable those Transit cameras at just the critical time needed.

Wearing a similar suit to Junior from Tuesday, presumably him, but not showing the face to lend some ambiguity.

It definitely “signetfies” something vital.

Since this story is a genuine turkey, let me say “Happy Thanksgiving” to each and every of you!

Good morning ™, MAD Bomber Planners !

Is he studying clock schematics for the best place to wire in a detonator ?

If it is junior. He’s suddenly sporting a signet ring since talking to Daddy.

Good morning™, everyone!

I’m late. Anyway, that’s the second time we’ve seen that ring. I’m not sure what the ring actually means, but do the plans indicate that the wiring was revised in 1937? I wonder how that fits in with the present time.

Well this still bo-ring. Still no clue what on earth going on since over month.

The distinctive ring is a clue!

Well… No errors in logic today. If you’re going to do something electrical and the wiring is more than 80 years old you want to check out the schematics and replace everything before throwing a switch.

While I kept faith with the writing for nine days at the start as soon as dialog started to appear logic went out the window. Maybe this would be better as a dumb strip (strip where a character doesn’t speak, The Little King being perhaps the most famous example).

Greek historians simply invented dialog appropriate for the individual and situation to make reading their work more interesting (as Thucydides explains – and should be remembered by anyone reading the book of Acts). I think comic strip writers should learn from Greek historians before writing dialog.

Tick tock, tick tock.

What is the map for?

1937. Yup…this is smacking of that guy with the “mechanical monsters” from the Superman Fleischer-era cartoon that I mentioned earlier in the week…….THAT was in 1941…..still using vacuum tubes in the clock, I reckon…….

Man, this drags on. It’s like Mary Worth on steroids.
