Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for December 04, 2013

The question is, are Bonnie and Uncle Ray alive or not?

Uh-oh…

We all know that no serious harm will come to Bonnie or Uncle Ray. The fun is seeing how they escape or are rescued from their predicament.

So, Uncle Ray is officially a missing person now and Dick is on the case. I wonder how long before Dick notices that Bonnie is missing, too. I assume she is. (Now we know why we saw the chickens earlier.)

What a NICE neighbor that Bart Bush is! All around good guy I would say! : )

Tracy must be very interested now, as Uncle Ray is pretty high up on his pecking order.

Good morning all…

Sure, Uncle Ray and Bonnie Braids are ok. They’ll in the capable hands of Abner Kadaver!

Bart Bush? I recall that name from Facebook… hmmm. It’s the middle of the night here and I just woke up so I need for my brain to awaken.

Bart is a longtime Tracy fan. I believe he published a fanzine called Comic Detective back in the 1980s.

Thanks to this tip from alert and observant neighbor Bart Bush, Tracy has a heads-up that something is wrong much sooner than Abner Kadaver had intended. This may give Tracy the edge he needs to save Bonnie and Uncle Ray.

Since Chester Gould was a farmer himself besides doing DT many of his stories had a farm local in them.

Keeping chickens is a load of work. If they’re not tended to you know there is something wrong!

I gotta say I was just a little disappointed with Abner’s ride. With Rikki’s enthusiasm to finally drive, I thought it would look more like this.

Too conspectus you say? Naw, I don’t think so, lol.

My thoughts exactly! You’d think that Tracy knows Bonnie didn’t come home last night and that would have already been on Tracy’s mind. Also, if she went to see her uncle, she would have told Tess or someone. So knowing she didn’t come home and Ray’s disappearance ought to put some snap into Tracy’s brain this morning.

BTW, I fixed the log-in. I don’t think it will be hijacked again. And, the person responsible has been warned.

i hope dick puts on his yellow fedora soon

I’m still hoping that we’ll see the Pig on Wheels in DT someday soon!

Why can’t everyone calm down and enjoy DT without a lot of fighting words. Display your “bravery” somewhere else.

It’s pretty cool how we all know Dick’s going to be fine in the end, yet it’s still exciting anyways../

Oh yeah, I get the drill….

Yes.
