Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for March 04, 2025

‘trilobites’… what’s next?… ‘troglodytes’?

“Come along dear, we’ll buy you that cordless phone for the house you’ve had your eye for the past decade.”

She must be the cousin of Blowtop, but having to do with those idiots who can blame her?

Okie-Dokie. Charles is having fun with us with the earriongs now.

Claire Snatch needs to chill it a bit…

she blows her top worse than what Blowtop ever did… even HE had his calm moments… not many but there WERE some…

every time Ms, Snatch makes an appearance, she’s ALWAYS blowing it with way too much energy for her own good…

" Yes I want you to get lost forever!"

This little “psycho train” ran off the rails @ birth.

Good morning™, Smug Mugs !

Love how Horace keeps his calm while Auntie is blowing up a storm. Those boys are quite the subservient puppies, with about as much finesse as an actual puppy. Horace’s stupid grin shows his over confidence in a scheme that is stumbling due to some incompetent bumbling.

Good morning™, everyone!

I was wondering what she meant by “trilobites.” They don’t seem to be prehistoric or extinct or marine arthropods. Someone on Urban Dictionary offers “A person who is below average in everything, basically just sucks at living in general.” I suppose that’s the general idea.

Clair, fortunately for us, should pop a blood vessel in her brain very soon.

In fairness to her, that is the typical female reaction to a date with Firestrike!

Interesting insult. I would have guessed that only geologists and paleozoologists would have heard of trilobites. Maybe some of their friends.

Yeah, not like the body had fingerprints or DNA or matched the description of missing person reports or anything like that.

She called upon one of the many insults in her repertoire !

The recurring inconsistency. Does Horace want the body identified as his own or not? We’ve had it presented both ways. We have no idea why he thinks the body could be IDed as him, and stealing the body would keep that from happening. OTOH, with DNA testing what it is, bodies remaining unidentified are no longer as common as they used to be. Do they want the body taken or not? Even as an incompetent coroner as we’ve been shown can’t ID a missing corpse. Why say it doesn’t matter that they failed to take it? If it doesn’t matter why try and take it?

“We’ve replaced ‘Dick Tracy’ with ‘Judge Parker.’ Let’s see if anyone notices!”

Sam is going to have a great day slapping those two nephews silly .

she should consider an anger management class, or three

Auntie sure is hard on the Owl Exterminators.

If you can keep your head while all about you are losing theirs….you are probably completely divorced from reality

1- JACKIE CHAN: HELLO – PIGGLY WIGGLY? I WANNA COMPLAIN ABOUT THE PICKLES YOU SELL … FAVORITE NEPHEW: Give it to ’em, Auntie!

3- HOR ACE: There, there, honey. Leave Piggly Wiggly employees alone. We shop at Kroger now that we know that their CEO’s personal conduct is in line with ours. Well, to the extent that he had to resign because of his and that ours will land us in jail if we’re caught. JACKIE CHAN: Oh yeah? What’s any of that got to do WITH THE PRICE OF EGGS?

BOTH: HA HA HA! WE’RE SO TOPICAL TODAY!!! FAVORITE NEPHEW: Speakin’ of: Can we go to the Topics for Spring Break? JACKIE CHAN: YOU ARCHAEOPTERYX!!!

“I put a clown nose and a little face paint on him Looks remarkably like General De Gaulle!”

Why are they dressed to warmly?
