Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 20, 2011

In Gertie’s very own kitchen???

Morning all! :-)

The plot, if not the biscuit dough, thickens.

Wow actual DETECTIVE work, I am impressed.

Have we done away with the wrist geenee and going retro with the old two way wrist radio/TV????

Good Morning Bill and everyone else.

Wish you were all here.

Fishing season is open and the tourists (fishermen) are coming into town.

Nothing like a feed of Walleye for dinner.

Just take minnesota highway 53 north to the Canadian border for some great fishing.

Save some for Dick and Sam to snort too.

Good Evening All! Good! They did fix the 10-code error.

We’re definitely going retro on the squad car. I haven’t seen a light-bar like that one since I was a boy. The rest of the car looks old too, can’t make out make or model but it’s not a newer vehicle.

Another great strip.

The first part of this arc ran on the Plainclothes site, so remembering Sam’s detective work is easy.

The squad looks like an old Pontiac, circa 1960.

Junior seems curiously…enthusiastic about this discovery. H’m. ;D

luv the box pointing out the 2-way wrist TV … very retro … just like the ’60s strippretty big knobs on it though

I wanted an avatar before the world ends!Real police work this is AWESOME!!!Great work TEAM TRACY!

See Ya Tommorrow….. I HOPE?!?!

Hey, wait a second, Junior! You might be onto something! Up to this point, we were dealing with pure uncut cocaine, which is a white powder. The policeman on the scene with the jumbo-sized hat and chem lab he carries in it said it was “high quality”. Now you’ve run onto crack? If it was at Gertie’s, then we have another problem! Crack looks like rock candy. Did she let you use her crack pipe?

If Gertie made biscuits with some of the “flour”, then it’s quite possible she made crack—baking soda is a key ingreadient in biscuit-making as well as crack.

Mike, Joe, where can we download our own Flakey Biscuits ‘Crumbs’ cards?

A day with a DT profile is a good day indead !

Det.DanDone, I bleed black&gold … I am a Bucks fan too

Sounds like Gertie, accidentally, cooked some crack.

Yeah, but analog encryption is childishly simple for a professional to penetrate. That’s why it’s dead, dead, dead in the real world. Going back to it is only usable as a short-term expedient. (“Security through obscurity” is /always/ a bad idea.)

It wouldn’t hurt, though, to come up with a Wrist Geenee 2 with some design aspects that acknowledge the iPhone revolution.

Wish I were fishing for walleye.

On 9 May Gertie complained that the biscuit flour had lumps she couldn’t break up. Maybe that’s what Junior has in mind when he calls it crack cocaine.

Obviously the crack was grties dough! BTW what does 10-20 mean? And why are Tracy and Junior using the 2 way wrist TV instead of whatever the modern gismo is?

dakota jones, 10-20 means what’s your location.I would say Gertie cooked some crack. Makes sense since there was “flour” missing, when Hot and Earl picked it up.

A kilo to be exact!

Good afternoon all…

Bassman! Where you been? How you been?
