Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for November 30, 2013

First, thanks to everyone for making yesterday a day of civility. Maybe this can be a Thanksgiving Day (at least) tradition. and today’s strip…Sweet!

Just don’t ask Abner what his “PlaN b” WAS, b.b. You might lose your appetite.

I’m picturing in my mind that Abner sounds like Boris Karloff

And rats always desert the sinking ships, right B.B. Eyes?

Come on, you all knew BB Eyes wasn’t going anywhere.By the way, can someone fill me in on how he got the scars on his face? Thanks in advance.

What I don’t understand is if the Blackhearts hired Kadaver to kill B-B Eyes, how are they going to accept him as a member of the Blackhearts. Of course, I suppose he could double-cross the Apparatus people, because they wouldn’t know he was a “double agent.”

Anyone else notice that B-B Eyes is the only one eating the pizza? [Abner: “I never eat…pizza.” Apologies to Bela-Dracula.]Either Abner is a slick double-crosser or an even slicker assassin. Take your pick….

Good morning all…

Abner’s not hungry? Does the pizza have Abner’s secret ingredient? “I’m dying for another slice!”

Abner, Mumbles and BB Eyes could all write a book about coming back from the dead!

No comment…..this is too cool…

Oh. My. Gosh..I called it last night!.Abner wants B.B. Eyes to double cross the Apparatus!.(Though I’m sure someone else out there thought the same – I’m no longer reading the comments daily, so I’m sure someone out there scooped me!).A decent turn of events – among bad guys, at least..We know Abner will fail in killing Tracy. I don’t foresee a renaming of this comic strip..But for Abner to fail at killing Eislander would, in effect, ruin his reputation as a credible Tracy villain..No matter how many bodies he has under his mansion.

I don’t think Abner is trying to get BB Eyes to cross over to the dark(er) side; I think Abner is just making conversation while BB Eyes chomps down on another piece of toxic pizza.

Abner would be treading in some pretty dangerous waters by double-crossing his new employer.

Naw, I think Abner’s serious about recruiting BB because before they met just now he was saying killing BB would be a waste and that he respected him…that said, wouldn’t at all be surprised at all if this somehow backfires on him..

Abner needs to break the mold here and while of course he can’t succeed in killing Tracy, he needs to at least knock off someone of note to keep his “scary” cred…..I have one suggestion one suggestion

You don’t need to guess who it is who it is.

It might be someone in this panel..

I think this storyline absolutely rocks; better than the last even BUT ol Moon Maid did seem to get 4 times the comments, go figure….

What if Abner sub-contracts the Tracy hit to BB Eyes, with the intention of finishing off whichever one survives?
