Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for March 18, 2015

Subdue her, Tracy! (Don’t shoot her -I’m still undecided about Sprocket, she may still be rehabilitated without her brother’s influence!)

Silver?…Feed him to Lena!

Great looking strip today, really unique angle on Tracy in the second panel, breaking format in an exciting fashion.

Speaking of fashion, Tracy still wearing his ear buds.

Don’t think Tracy will risk a shot under these circumstances.

He’ll probably let this play out.

Actually, I hope he’ll let this play out.

Its over Sprocket honey, she’s getting one last lick in.

Wow….now THAT is a scene to behold

You have a gun, Dick! Shoot to kill!

Sprocket is HELLA strong and durable. It may take some doing for Tracy to subdue her.

But, then again, we’re not sure what Kandi is capable of. I’m not going to write her off yet.

Give it up Sprocket. Three stripes and your out!

Tracy, surprised to see that Kandikane is there: “Are you okay?” Yeah, she was, until Sprocket came flying at her trying to strangle her. Whoever was calling for a cat fight yesterday, you’ve got one!

I don’t think it would be safe for Tracy to try shooting. He would be just as likely to hit Kandi as Sprocket.

When cats fight, safest way to separate is to throw water on ’em.

Yeah.

That might work.

Water.

Age and treachery will always overcome youth & skill. I think Dick needs to do something…FAST.

In the real world she wouldn’t be calling her a WITCH! LOL

Good morning guys!

The excitement continues! Did Sam get lost?

Morning, Tracyville!

If Sprockett grabs Silver’s gun, just about anything can happen here.

Who is that in panel 3 and why is he wearing a Dick Tracy mask? Sprocket is officially a mental case! Sam took a detour to pick up some electronic cigarettes!

Maybe Sam will shoot her, or… maybe Kandi has been taking some of Vitamin’s vitamins (see what I did there?) and she’ll open up a can of whoop @*%$! on her. Good morning DT fans.

Wow Sprocket must be part Duke, since she came straight through the window at Kandikane.

“Are you okay?” Uh, no – I seem to have this crazy woman at my throat…

Is Tracy gonna shoot Sprocket with the gun in his right hand or with his finger pistol? LOL!

The car door is still closed. That means Sprocket took a flying leap out of the car window. I know the Wonder Car is roomy inside, but that is still quite a feat.

Good morning everyone. WOW! What action! My money is on Kandi winning, possibly killing Sprocket. Maybe tomorrow we will know. Y’all have a bountiful day my friends.

A feat in bare feet! Mr. Staton does wonders with the two-panel option once again. Seems sensible to subdue Sprocket spontaneously. Silver’s stunned senseless. Such a story!

Itch, snitch, glitz, blitz, kitsch?

I`m thinking that Silver will come to and play his hand one more time…

I would have thought that the first thing Tracy would have done was to make sure Sprocket was not armed and handcuffed her. In the first panel he appears oblivious to the fact that she is in the car ready to spring into attack mode.But then we would not have had the catfight. I’m still expecting Kandikane to explode and show us a side of herself no one would ever expect.

Something is real strange how Sprocket is so overly possessive of her sibling and appears to have no interest in any other person. One cannot help but wonder, what’s up with that? ..I bet Tracy drags her off of Kandi and pistol whips that hag just before he cuffs her. I do hope that miss ugly does not hurt the fair maiden! .…… And take those stupid sunglasses off, put some clean clothes and shoes on you crazy, mixed up, lawless, unemployed killing machine you!

Sprocket said “YOU WITCH!” around here we’d say “the kettle is calling the pot black”

To describe her I would replace the “W” with a “B”.Wonder what’s going to happen to their bloodthirsty excuse for a pet?

I don’t see anyone can see hope for redemption in Sprocket

I like your thinking N.G.49, especially the gun butt on the side of the head part. Isn’t it funny (for the lack of a better word) how a tazer will take the fight out of the meanest of them?

And the beat goes on….

“Are you okay?”

Well, no…not anymore, she’s not!

Two comments I want to make. One is why the blazes does Tracy stop to talk to Kandikane when the person doing all of the shooting is free to mount an attack on the person she was shooting at? Wouldn’t police “protocol” demand that the Popo subdue Sprocket and render her harmless? Isn’t Sam supposed to be on duty? In the time that Tracy is chit-chatting, Sprocket could be lunging with a tire tool or something else, and do some more damage.

Secondly, I am almost convinced that Mike & Joe must have spent some time in the State Looney Bin (interviewing inmates) to come up with some of these characters! Some of them, and Sprocket is a prime example, have characteristics that are too deep for a comic strip…… especially a family comic strip. If there was EVER a candidate for a straight jacket…..

Girl fights are the best fights!!! May turn Tracy and Sam on!!

I know Tracy was surprised to see Kandikane, but he still should have kept Sprocket covered, and had her exit the car and ‘assume the position.’Then Tracy could talk with Kandi, and call for an ambulance.As it is now, with Sprocket trying to kill Kandi, Tracy may need to call the coroner.Unless Sam shows up and zaps Sprocket with a tazer. (Or whacks her with a blackjack! Yeah, I know – those went out with black and white TV sets.)

Extremely unprofessional behavior, Tracy, in not securing the threat (Sprocket) first, before interviewing Kandikane. If Sprocket kills her (quite possible given the Nitrate nutcase’s strength), her blood is on your hands.

My daughter once leaped through the window of a locked car in an emergency. It was very impressive. Landed on her feet.

Think of a rhyming word.

Yeah, that’s what it is, though it didn’t immediately come to mind.

There was an episode of the old Andy Griffith Show where a team of con artists posed as father and daughter, when they were actually husband and wife. Maybe, just maybe,Sprocket and Silver are only posing as siblings – they certainly are con artists, though not very able ones, it seems.

….thinking this scene is for a reason, and not just “added excitement”……and either Kandi or Sprocket may be joining Stiletta in a second.

….and how could Tracy MISS hitting Sprocket that close up…c’mon

I was just noticing that if Tracy had noticed the annoyed look and furrowed brow of Sprocket in panel 1, looking very similar to Kandi’s annoyed expression a couple of days ago, he might have anticipated that she might have suddenly sprung out, Dukes of Hazzard style.

The way she was crouched down listening to Stiletta at the drive-in talking about her kidnapping plans, I half expected her to spring like a cat then, but that’s not exactly what she did.

… and everybody said AMEN.

why is she a witch.
