Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 01, 2015

I don’t even want anything to happen to Jimmy…This is a GOOD story!

Good morning fellow DT fans!

Jimmy tried!

So, the water is going down the drain, but the river has reversed and is filling up the lake again. That means there’s no chance for Jimmy to escape the whirlpool by grounding the boat. He has finally given up and is ready to turn himself in, but I’m not sure there is any way they can rescue him. I suppose they have to try.

Good morning, DT fans!A little too late, Jimmy, I fear. I don’t see him climb a ladder.

Little late to yell “I QUIT” there, Jimmy……prepare to meet a water grave deep in the bowels of a liquified salt tomb….

Wasn’t there a barge?

Jimmy and the gold will be reunited, but it will be a reunion to die for!

Another Tracy villain is about to go down the drain…sorry, couldn’t resist.

Thought Balloon in Panel Two.

How often do we see those?

Choo Shooz could’ve used a few more leading up to this point.

Who was it that suggested the gold from both robberies might get coughed up by the maelstrom?

Seems to me I recall Tracy arriving via helicopter at the end of at least one of those old U.P.A. Dick Tracy shorts.

Will next Sunday’s strip be one of those “Wrap-Up-One-Story-While-Beginning-Another” types?

And will “Fall” come early for The Blackhearts?

I count Johnny Adonis’ health as a loose end.

People will be diving in ‘Gold Lake’ for CENTURIES!

Hefty Dude with an Evinrude…

Good morning Tracy fans. ________@Neil Wick: Jimmy might break the ladder and fall into the whirlpool. ________Have an awesome day my friends.

It is good to know when you are beaten. Jimmy, take your punishment like a man.

Jimmy must be scared – he lost the cigar he’s been working on through several murders.

The barge may still be their if it hasn’t been sucked down yet. It could be coming around to crush Jimmy’s boat.-————————————-Now, that would be a nice surprise, and seal his fate.

… hay Jimmy before you can get on board we have to warn you that there is no smoking allowed on this chopper. the choice is yours get rid of the cigar or swim.

Since the “police chopper” (Jimmy’s term) is not a dedicated rescue helicopter with winch and rescue basket/harness, getting porky Jimmy out of the maelstrom may be beyond its capabilities. If so, -good riddance, jerk/robber/multiple murderer….

Gweedo commented,I bet Rikki’s steamed at playing second fiddle to this “high seas” adventure, Bill. And to think she is keeping the sheets cold for nothing.-—————————————————————————————

Hah! I read DT on my new “crypt top” computer, Gweedo!

It’s a cool death, and much in the Dick Tracy tradition, but why Jimmy and not the atrocious Doubleup?

Doubleup is softening up a little bit. Jimmy doesn’t seem to have any redeeming qualities that we’ve ever seen. I suppose Doubleup may die eventually, but now is not the time.

The other thing I was going to say is that endorheic bodies of water tend to be located in desert regions.

The water in most lakes, even big ones eventually ends up in the ocean.

I said it the other day and I will say it again today…team tracy seems to have run short on story ideas recently.

I don’t know. Sam has been conspicuously silent on the whole question of smoking.

Gweedo said,Getting you that for a birthday present helps keep you in at night, or is it the day ?If only more girls knew how to keep their man down.-——————————————————————————————————-

Between me and you, Gweedo, Rikki keeps me chained to the coffin…

Gweedo remarked,Remind me never to do my peeping activities at your place, Bill.-———————————————————————————————————

I’m not physically chained, Gweedo, only mentally. Since Rikki learned to gesture hypnotically from Mandrake, she is able to “cloud my mind”, as Lamont would say. Drop in anytime you want, Gweedo.

Gweedo said,If I don’t watch my step walking through the graveyard, Bill, I’m liable to drop in to a fresh dig.-————————————————————————————

There are candles at the gate, Gweedo.
