Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for February 06, 2025

Lee will take Jun down like Pam Grier…

And Junior grew three sizes that day!

Mr. “Schmobotto”.

Good morning™, all!

Those who decry the lack of action in this strip should have no objections today!

When did this guy become Doc Samson?

Just somebody shoot him, for cryin’ out loud!!

I wonder if all the old fogeys will claim Dick Tracy should’ve be the one to take him down and they’ve demasculinised the strip?

Everyone’s fighting to be the next person in the bathroom!

Tracy should pull a Butch Cassidy & challenge Jr. to a knife fight … & then tell Jr. they have to get the rules straight.

Good morning™, [Failing] Action Heroes !

Never saw it going this bad for so many of the department’s members, all at once. Lee may as well as given him a gentle tap, for all the effect her kick had. Now if her boots had spikes on the bottom and a metal razor tongue sticking out the front Bubba Brute would be in a world of hurt !

It’s not that Junior is strong, it’s just that he’s wearing a power suit.

I can almost feel the kick in that last panel, OW!

This is where you need a uniformed officer with a taser.

Or is that just in the U.K.? How about a uniformed officer with a night stick?

This is dumb. What is this some kinda kung fu competition? Just shoots the murderous creeminal and arrests him already can’t cha? Four cops and one mass murderer wannabe creeminal and thems all is acts like some wannabe kung fu school novices. Just terrible writing. Want better writer here.

I guess they left their guns at the station.

Tracy’s ESP is wonky. With no evidence whatsoever he knew Jr had discovered a Xylon bomb and planned to detonate it that very day…

Maybe the problem isn’t Tracy’s ESP, it was 100% correct. Maybe it’s his brain that’s on the fritz. He didn’t ask himself, “What do you bring to stop a huge, strong guy with special forces training?” At almost 120 years old Tracy’s body is in amazing shape, but the brain seems to be going.

Come on, Hat! Fly on down and clamp yourself over the bad guy’s face!

ahh.. he is familiar with ty-quan-leap…. (if you know.. you know)

Looks as though Tracy could place a swift heel to KrazyKraut’s family jewels from his position directly in front of him!!

When’s Dad going to show up?

shouldn’t he be turning green and wearing purple pants at this point?

And so, as Singin’ Sam prepares to warble an off-key hip-hop version of Happy Trails To You, we prepare to amble off into the sunset. Or, in his case the super scintillating salami slinging Sunset Deli.

In the pouch Lee ! In the pouch !

SO, let me guess. New story coming up shortly?

Hideously facially blemished from the treacherous poking, Tracy snaps and believes himself to be Two-Face. Throw in the Batmobile from quite a while back, with B.O. cobbling together a really cheesy caped nemesis of crime costume, and we’re in for a totally inconsequential, battle of wits.

In the end, Tracy is captured and taken to a mysterious upstate ‘college,’ where enforced exposure to the fumes of pastrami restores him to normal! He then devotes his life to doing ‘really good things,’ such as fighting against painful paper cuts by gluing the pages of all the books in the city library together.

Sam enjoys his promotion, and crime runs rampant.

HEY! Don’t blame ME! I stole it form an old NANCY strip!

Everyone has – at last – ineffectively fought with Fred now. Maybe tomorrow someone will have some dialog. Better yet, maybe Fred will surrender and end this story. Or return to Tracyville’s architectural highlights for 2 or 3 weeks.

…STILL missin’ the BIFF! BAM!! POWS!!!……

MOVIE QUOTE

“You better give me a check or there’ll be three at your house for dinner tonight. You,your wife,and me!”

Blackmailer Glenda Farrell—-GOLD DIGGERS OF 1937

1- FRED SR: UGH! ME WIN BATTLE! CHICKS BELONG FRED NOW!

2- LEE: OH YEAH? HOW’D YOU LIKE A FOOT TO THE FACE?

3- FRED SR: THE GENERAL RIGHT! FEET SEXY! ME WANT MORE! DT: TAG IN SAM! I THINK HE’S WEAKENING!

LIZZ: My thumb is getting tired…

Tracy’s position directly in front of KrazyKraut would be perfect for a well~placed heel to KK’s family jewels. That should get his attention~~

it’s gonna take a whole lot of teamwork to bring this guy down. :{

Hey,bad guy!! No steroids allowed!! Is there a crowbar in the house?

We ARE getting near the end of the st ory.Will Mike be back?

Panel 3:

“Block that kick! Block that kick!”

Eesh, Team Tracy is getting worked over.

Eesh, Team Tracy is getting worked over. No one is armed?
