Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 24, 2016

.Good morning one and all!

“Where everybody knows your name.”

Hopefully Blaze has a friend in T-Bolt. She sure needs one!

Even Blaze wonders about how they manage to generate so much laundry.

Good Morning, Vista Bill and Anyface!

Yo, cpalmeresq & Bill.

And now the fun begins as things take a turn……

Put Tracy back to top of row Two!

Notta is going down!!!

And Blaze will be out on an errand again when a take down happens. Blaze is the luckiest bad girl around.

T-Bolt will want to steer Blaze away from Notta and onto the right path, but it will be a trick doing all that without blowing her cover.

Blaze looks pretty beaten down. Will she talk, or follow Notta’s orders and play dumb?I’m hoping T-Bolt buys her some food, and manages to get her talking.

T-Bolt is also supposed to be a tough enforcer and bodyguard. It seems dangerous to break character too much. Smiling?

I wonder if Blaze will confide in T-Bolt about her situation? Since she doesn’t know she’s actually Lee Ebony she might be willing to talk about it. I remember Blaze had her own apt. with her equipment when BB Eyes came to recruit her for the Blackhearts. I wonder what happened to that apt.? It would be a good place to go to if she wants to get away.

Gweedo greeted,Hey, Sergeant Bill !-———————————————————————-.Good morning Gweedo. Pleased to see that you are back in the ranks again!.Rikki has some new furniture. Drop in and sit for a spell….

Blaze may be startled, but she shouldn’t be surprised, since she saw T-Bolt at the laundromat on her last visit. And while she may be look haggard and beaten down, she does not appear to me to have lost weight noticeably; if anything, the opposite. Lee Ebony’s initiative as T-Bolt probably has ulterior motives, but she may be fishing rather than expecting any specific intel from little Blaze the harried helper. But if Blaze sings about Notta, the MCU will soon be knocking on her door (or more)….

I don’t think Lee noticed her there the last time and therefore would have no reason to stake it out. It just happens to be the place she goes to do laundry.

Blaze is gonna spill the beans and turn informant for lee.

Drat, no Notta. This is supposed to be her story, but we’re hardly seeing her anymore. I should have expected a scene change after yesterday, but still.

Where does all that laundry come from? Notta wears only one outfit!

I have been following the story for a while. I hope Blaze gets out. She seems like a decent person.

Gotta Love these characters..

Meeting again in the Laundromat … by Chance ?Must have been a well planned, but “STOICAL” . . . Wait ?

But what really “fascinates” me is the distinct change in the shape of Lee Ebony’s head whenever she takes on her T Bolt ‘persona’ ?

Gone are the “curves” on the upper head . . . replaced (somehow?) by ‘sharp’ edges ? Were I in the “complimentary” assistance business - (like others here, on occasion) I’d probably ‘speculate’ that she’s wearing a WIG?

And her “out of character” accent to the Top of the Martial Arts position in the MCU - seems something of a ‘downer’ for Lizz ! (?)

Yet in a “changing” World leading positions Come and Go !

In the meantime, Lee had better be very careful if she wants to keep her cover secure. Even a hint that she’s working with the police could prove disastrous for her later on. She can’t know for sure at this point if Blaze is ready to turn on Notta and Bribery.

Gweedo replied,I have some black licorice that will go with that motif, Bill ! Am I at attention or ill at ease ?-———————————————————————————.I love black licorice! Parade Rest, Soldier!.Gweedo, never feel ill at ease when you are in my company!

I’m thinking that maybe Blaze is getting a little… weary… of life on the edge; maybe T-Bolt might be ready to help her switch sides.

They didn’t say anything to each other that time?

No, they didn’t say anything. Blaze quickly left without being noticed, apparently, and told Notta that she had seen T-Bolt. Notta told her that if she spotted T-Bolt again, she should avoid her.

I expected it to go the other way. I thought Blaze would catch T-Bolt in an out of character moment.

Gweedo remarked,Easy Company, here I come !!!-——————————————————————————.Private, you are using the old alphabet. Remember it is “Echo” now! You have the honor of cleaning the latrine tonight!.After you satisfactorily finish, you can have a pass to visit us at the cemetery. Remember, many of us paid to have our uniforms “tailored” (tightened) so you will be fine in your existing uniform as long as it is clean. Use heavy starch if you plan to get ahead in this man’s army. Follow Cpl Kadaver’s lead here.

Blaze and T-Bolt would make a nice couple!
