Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for August 05, 2014

Good morning fellow DT and Annie fans from Vista Bill

Good morning back atcha Vista Bill.

Kinda weird to see Influence hypnotize a guy with no eyes.

That was easy. I guess that Tess still hasn’t read her email, but now the police know to go to Thunder Island. I wonder what will happen when they get there.

Paulo made a smart decision. Cooperate with the police and possibly get a break from the DA’s office.

I wonder why Patton reacted like he did when he heard the name of the location? Does he know something about Thunder Island?

Good morning fans. Maybe Tracy and Annie can be rescued.

I’m thinking they should take Influence along……..

I see a typo. It says Annie has agreed to be hypnotized, but she’s not in today’s strip.

Former teacher here: ‘The ship captain, who transported “The Butcher” and Annie, has agreed to be hypnotized.’ Sorry, old habits die hard.

They actually haven’t learned anything. This information should be in Tess’ email, if she’d ever get around to reading it.

Is the chief about to inform us that Thunder Island was destroyed in 1944?

Okay, Pat, what do you know about Thunder Island?And how will the MCU/Warbucks team utilize Paolo’s information? Oh, and props to Influence for having fulfilled his task in about one minute (expensive import from Houston, but worth it—if he doesn’t flip back to the Dark Side and betray our guys)….

I wonder will the Influence be part of MCU full time now?

Paulo’s eye should be blank after staring into Influence’s big yellow eyes!Whatever conditioning he had not to talk wasn’t strong enough to stand up to to that!

On an unrelated note -My GoComics page has an ad for Kohl’s, and shows an infant car seat covered in what looks like dalmation!Cruella De Ville would love it for her kids (God forbid!), but a car seat made to look like it’s covered in dog skin? What were they thinking?Where are Disney’s lawyers when we need them?

Every time someone mentions “Thunder Island”, I hear Jay Ferguson ;)

After the interrogation, Influence should entertain everyone by doing some stage hypnosis with the captain, like have him strut around the MCU office crowing like a rooster.

“These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.” Yeah, this guy is good.

This is all very hypnotic..

WOW! This guy is good! Pat needs to get over his fear of the past and give him a badge and his own MCU coffee mug already!

BTW, I majored in Mass Communications, so I am aware of the standards of journalism. (Never did finish, though.I guess that nullifies my criticisms.)

Patton: “Thunder Island? Why didn’t I think of this before? Jay Ferguson is behind the whole thing!”

Where’s Sandy while this is all going on?

Thunder Island could not have been destroyed in 1944. Tracy was looking at it on Google Earth (or some such program). Furthermore, his research showed that the island is currently being leased to the private sector by the US Government.

Thunder Island? Where’s Jay Ferguson?

Yes, I know that spell checkers don’t cover much of what proofreaders do, but it seems to be hard to convince some people of that.

“eye Cringe wen i c Tee-sull !”Now, THAT’S funny!
