Chester Gould, a veteran cartoonist, began drawing his most legendary character, the dashing and daring Dick Tracy for the newspaper comics page in 1931. Modeled in the image of the innovative Sherlock Holmes, Gould was inspired to create new crime-fighting technology, including the two-way wrist TV, closed circuit TV police line-up and the engineless car that took Dick Tracy to the moon (both literally and figuratively).
Although many remember him with fond nostalgia, Dick Tracy, now written and illustrated by Dick Locher, continues to be relevant as he combines old-fashioned values with 21st century innovation to capture corporate crooks, computer pirates, polluters, skyjackers, gang members and terrorists.

Gertie’s hair done shrunk!

That basement looks like a scene from a 1950’s horror movie. Their all eggs that are about to hatch giant monsters that will eat through the door and walls and consume Gertie!
Gertie looks mighty pathetic in panel 3.
Nice resurrection of the Shady Acres Cut/Copy/Paste.

Here’s the master plan as I can figure. Let BO win. Knowing that he’ll store the money at his house. Then when the time is right ROB HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Makes more scene than Traz-E.

Gertie looks like she’s been drawn by a second grader in the last panel as she looks at all those water balloons with dollar signs on them.

Yeah, that last panel is pretty infantile. JB is a fairly good craftsman most of the time, but you can tell when something has been rushed, or not had much thought put into the design. This reeks of both!

Grok and ridenslide, I agree with ou with what the scene in last panel suggests. Just waiting for the bags to burst open and spray goofer dust all over the city of naperville.

Hmmmm…. Wonder if Tracy has had time to audit Jack’s taxes? Wonder if Jack went to the Naperville tea party?

Zapboy, your plan looks like it’s on the nail; the other workable master-plan is that they let only those as dumb as B.O. win (a hint on this a few days ago when B.O. was specifically described as “bank-illiterate”), as they are giving out counterfeit bills (giving Jack-and-co the delay until “winners” actually try to spend some of stashed-away dough to abscond).

seems like the drawing style of Dick Tracy is getting more and more cartoonish. I wonder if this is an effort to appeal to children?

For instance, look at the dresser in panel one. It’s all wibbly wobbly. Very cartoonish.

God, get off the bad art kick, for once they have a decent storyline going…

Well, it was a decent storyline when it first started. Now, it’s just as stupid as the last few have been.

The magic dollars signs on the money bags are still functional. I bet when Gertie looks at them, they all appear in the center of the bags, just like when we look at them.

BB! Thank Goodness you’r here to explain it to me! I’ve been in the corner since Froxkrybra scolded the class and I didn’t notice you entered the classroom. We won’t have playtime because we critiqued the artwork. Better be quiet about the pictures or you’ll have to stay after class.

Now’s your chance, Gertie! Take the money and run Venezuela! :>

I distinctly remember that years ago, Sunnydale Acres was squarely under an overpass bridge because the Plentys refused to move. The overpass used to always be shown in the past. Was the bridge torn down some time ago? Did they finally move the house?
