Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for April 22, 2014

Angus is going out. Kollosal is being taken out.

Aw, c’mon….Angus hasn’t come close to being that bad….these guys have all been lightweights so far, perhaps friends of the Jumbler….

….didn’t ‘t there used to be a character named. "Dick Tracy " in this strip? Hmmmm…..maybe I’m mixing it up with another one….

I just noticed those are some really bizarre looking ears on Angus’ head.

Kolossal is an idiot! Angus didn’t rise to his position of power and wealth by being a fool.

Has anyone else noticed that GoComics’ web site seems to be running a tad slow?

….since a track owner gets a fixed percentage of all money bet, the truth of the matter is he received an increased handle due TO the heavy betting on “QuickDraw”, and thus Kolossal made ADDITIONAL money for him, not cost him any. But, since we need a good storyline, lol….

It’s running a tad slow because QuickDraw is filling in for someone there tonight…

So, I guess Angus is making another visit to Kolossal Studios. I don’t think he’s planning to kill Kolossal, though, at least not yet.

It seems to me that in the Abbott and Costello film I mentioned before that there was a dispute about horse markings, too.

yes

yes

If “Mary” can notice the markings coming off, ya think a track official or State Gaming Commissioner might notice as well? That investigation would mean some big trouble.

Good morning everyone

Tabby is going out this afternoon, ehh? I wonder whither and why…. (Tick tock, Kolossal; tick tock….)And then there’s Mary. What is her part in the Angus power structure, and on whose side is she, really? Is she a snitch for Kolossal? —Or for the MCU? Or hopelessly in love with her boss?

I remember Dick Tracy. He was here last week with Diet Smith. Every picture tells a story and Angus does not like what he sees. There are Kolossol mistakes and there are final mistakes. Angus seems to have taken a dark turn of mind in the third panel.

Kokossal has to know he’s in deep trouble ………. or not.

All of you complaining about slow story development, see today’s Non Sequiter.

“Mary, I’ve got to chop up some more food for the horses. I’ll be back”!“Very well sir, I’ll alert the cooking staff to prepare for about 150 lbs of jerky”!

What’s gonna happen next???

Not surprising Angus has ears like a cat, given his first name is Tabby (see yesterdays’ strip).

And Neil Wick – the same “horse marking mix-up” device was used in the Marx Brother’s “Day at the Races”.

Get’cher tootsie frootsie ice-a-cream!

Time for Kolossal to get TERMINATED it would seem….

Thank you to everyone who kept my friend Carl in your thoughts and prayers. His injuries were just too severe and he passed away this morning. Please keep his family and loved ones in your prayers; there is much sorrow and anger over this tragic loss.

With a name like Angus, I would expect his body would have some kind of bovine characteristic.

It’s a fairly common given name and family name: Angus (surname) on Wikipedia with Celtic (Scottish/Irish) origins. In the U.S., you may associate the name with cattle, since Angus cattle are the most common beef breed in the U.S., but in Scotland it’s just a common name, including the name of the counties of Angus and Aberdeen where that breed originated.

You know, I was just making a joke about Tracy not being around for awhile; you don’t have to get all up in arms about it. Personally, I think Dick himself is personality- challenged and rather dull anyways. Plus I realize a lot of posters here would’ve perfectly happy with no appearances by Dick Tracy at all – or even a storyline – as long as there would be pictures of Moon Maid every day….

Silver Blaze?
