Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 16, 2011

Is Tracy’s hat lined with steel like a certain “Double-naught” spy’s?

Well, as Porky Pig would say -

“That’s All Folks”

Vista Bill,

the next time you have computer problems,go to the library and use theirs.

We worry when we don’t see your postings for a few days.

That goes for the rest of you too!!!!

Even though we don’t know each other,we are connected by our posts.

For some reason my picture didn’t stay on the thread yesterday. If you want to see the image I posted for the big unit that was sent look here.

heck, I did that

This strip pretty much ties up the most crucial loose ends of the arc—I particularly like it that Tracy informs us that four of the customers were nabbed.

Tarry, that’s some Hummer!

You da man DT

The new & improved Dick Tracy just keeps getting better & better.

That’s not a Police Car, That’s a Police Tank..\\//_

Loose ends concerning the “customers” and Morning Gloria’s background are tied up and Sam is back from vacation. This is how to end a story arc.

Pretty good score, Tracy! Nabbed 4 customers and planted two! Liz(z) is out ten bucks. Where does that leave Ted Tellum?

BTW – Great inking job today, Shelley !!!

Good morning all…

Four customers? Two are dead. Who else? Aren’t Mr. Crime and Ms. Rize still out there?

I suppose that police Hummer and police tank were paid for with homeland security money.

Where is the drugged up old guy?? the owner of the florist shop?Wonder whats happened to him??

I’m totally satisfied with the ending, wrapped up quickly and neatly. :-)Terry Plaguer, please explain how Shelley and her compatriot work with Mike and Joe. I’m not schooled in how these things work, thanks.

Night,.Re your comment below:.“If you look at all the stuff Jethro had were taken from other shows at the time. The metal lined bowler hat was John Steed’s, the knife in the boot was Jim West’s etc.”.Actually, all of it originated in the early James Bond movies. The metal-lined, blade-brimmed bowler was Oddjob’s from GOLDFINGER. The knife in the shoe was Rosa Klebb’s in FROM RUSSIA, WITH LOVE. Steed and West, like Jethro, were cribbing from 007.

The police tank in the photo is not actually a tank. It is an M113 armored personnel carrier. In ’Nam is was common practice to put sandbags inside on the floor and ride on top, the idea being take your chances with small arms fire in exchange for protection against mines.

Way to go Dick Tracy and go and get “em”.

I’m curious what happened to Mina, but I guess we’ll find out. Hopefully, she’s not still “caring” for Mr. Decopolus.
