Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for January 27, 2012

Good morning all…

Good morning VB! SoS is doing his best for crowd control.

Way to go Sam!

It looks like Lizz and Honeymoon aren’t the only ones with some moves. Way to go Sam!

Sam and crew are rapidly wrapping this mess up. Watch for a real bang-up Sunday.

Go Sam!

Bravo, Sam, getting Bownsa subdued and cuffed and notifying the team of the situation! And SoS is handling the panic in the room well, too! We have nothing to fear but what we hear!

Why am I now suddenly worried that Sam is going to be shot?

Good Job Sam!!!

I love seeing the sunglasses on the bouncers head. It shows how Sam roughed him up.

Good morning, everyone!Panel 3: Whoever taught that guy how to hold a trumpet did a miserable job! Louis Armstrong is spinning in his grave.

i am gonna put this out there right now… sam lost his hat and is NOT smoking… putty puss’ jacket is going to be colored green again and then harley is gonna take on sam’s face.. cueball is gonna have a tough decision on who to shoot.. but dick is gonna notice the smell of cigarettes (and lack thereof) to make sure the right guy gets caught

I love that Sam took the ‘Bownsa’ down – I just wish we got to see that action. But I’m sure the Powers That Be limit the amount of violence Mike & Joe can show.But this is a great story (aren’t they all?) and I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Sam is truly the man! I love his look & the details, and SoS doing the right thing. This strip can’t get any better! Can it ??

@MatthewI was thinking the same thing about the smoking. Maybe Sam smokes those water vapor jobs.Can’t flee from what they can’t see, wont run if they don’t know about the gun…meh, never mind.

Can’t wait to read this strip every day.

So did Cueball fall into a vat of Man-Tan?

I wonder how much trouble I’d get in if I made my own Bownsa T-shirt.

Actually I was referring to this strip from the 9th.

Re Sam: far as I can tell, the Tracyverse exists in a time when smoking was still good for you..Re Son of Spike: That’s a good philosophy, and probably why my the bank managing my 401K doesn’t return my calls…

Very interesting, Thanks!

Sam + Son of Spike — how long before somebody trips up on those names?

The song must go on and so must the link!
