Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for February 03, 2025

the General made it into the strip… LOL…

In reality that general said something else. But junior is really nuts like some real person I could mention

Good morning™, all!

This might be the first time any criminal considered the killing of Dick Tracy to be merely a consolation prize. Even though killing a whole crowd might be more “fun,” he’s willing to settle.

“Jam” it to this toxic parasite.

Is Junior aiming for Tracy’s nuts???

I’m curious, if Tracy had his gun drawn 20 seconds ago, why would he have to take it out of his jacket now?

Why the 2 orders?

Good morning™, Mad Braggers !

If he can kill Dick at this range wont he be obliterated too ?  How can you love killing if you aren’t around to be doing it ?  Either Eric’s way off the narrow gauge track or he’s nicely crafted a truly wacko jacko of a character.

Once Lee has pulled the plug, he can be Rugby tackled. No gun required. Just keep junior monologuing.

2nd panel, ominous! Great!

Not sure why a Nazi sympathizer is quoting Gen. Anthony McAuliffe. It should be Tracy’s line.

They’ve cleared the 10 block area (the amount of damage a Xylon bomb can cover — if that hasn’t been retconned too) remarkably fast. They did it in the time it took to run up a spiral staircase? And how would Tracy know if it had been accomplished… He was busy running up a spiral staircase. And there are no buildings in that 10 block area the police need to check for people needing evacuation?

Out of the country, and my list of problems with Springy is at home. Eric has answered one or two, but most of them are unresolved and a couple new whoppers have now been created. I may have time today to create a new list since I think Springy will be ignored from this point.

“I’d have referred killing Slinky Sam but he’s slithered off to some dark deli dive. so I guess you’ll have to do.”

(SAM — Five minutes early) “You’ve gpt this, Tracy. I”ll just head back to my…er…your office, rifle a few drawers, and take the GOOD chair."

No gun. He has an itch.

In 2007, after the TV show “Jericho” was cancelled, “Tons of peanuts began arriving at CBS headquarters in New York and Los Angeles.” (from LA Times archives) The show was given a seven-episode miniseries to wrap up storylines to provide closure.

Did Patton really say that, or, did the war correspondents come up with that line to make him more “appealing” to the home front?

Kick him in the pouch Dick !

I wonder if he was hit with a tazer, it keep his hand involuntarily clenched while they grab the switch.

He’s reaching for a cigarette. All this action has him excited.
