This comic strip only gets unimaginably worse with each new arc. Any “alleged” mass murderer would not be in jail wearing any kind of mask or chains. I don’t know why I keep reading this, except maybe to see the extremely low depths to which our culture has sunk. I’ll take SpongeBob Squarepants over this, or one of the best of all time, Ren and Stimpy. (And I mean it!)
I’ve been following this since its inception, and while I always thought this strip was very bad, it has now become worse than the worst possible. I only read it now to get the pithy remarks of fellow masochists.
The trouble is that when we get to the end of this story sometime next year and all is explained, it still won’t make any sense at all. This whole plot must have been hatched by Mrs. D-Cubed, whose sole motivation is to get her hands on all those hard-to-get $1000 bills.
Do we (or Thick) have any reason to believe this guy is D-cubed? First, he happens on a guy who gives him a $1000 bill and disappears. Next day (strip-wise) Thick finds a different guy and declares him to be D-cubed. I have only been reading this strip for about 10 years so maybe I’m not up to speed on the intricacies of the story arcs.
You have to be actually be a skilled and talented artist to depict action or to draw hands well. Also, while $1000 bills do exist, they’re not available at the bank.
The best part of reading Dick Tracy is reading the pithy comments, since the strip itself makes no sense. I do wonder what some of you people were doing writing comments six or eight hours ago when most people were sleeping. What time does the strip get posted? I may have to set my alarm clock.
