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

Good morning guys!

Otis never was the brightest bulb in the string.

Good morning VistaBill and davidf42. Otis is about to get his just desserts.

@Gweedo: it looks like we have to wait till tomorrow (Sunday) or maybe Monday to see Otis get his come upstance. Y’all have a blessed weekend.

I think that Otis, in order to stay in good health, needs to walk out on stage in the middle of the play and announce Christopher Cushing’s real identity!

Me thinks there will be an opening for a new janitor at the Patterson Playhouse soon. And if Tracy’s in attendance, he will aldo recognize Gruesome and try to arrest him leading to a confrontation.

Otis won’t be sweeping floors much longer I bet.

Blackmail a killer, why don’tcha? This’ll end well.

Mike, Joe, Shelley, Shane and Jim produce the best strip in syndication!!!

Morning, Tracyville!Notice where Otis is standing. Right in front of a casket!

Otis might as well be wearing a red shirt at this point.

Alas, poor Otis.

Looks like Otis`s elevator, pardon the pun, is getting ready to go down…

Good comments all. Y’all have a blessed weekend.

Q: Why is Otis like his broom?A: Gruesome is going to sweep the floor with him.

I’m sure we won’t see the murder, but I’m betting tomorrow they find the body!(You know, this story would make a great movie…)

Well, Gruesome IS trying to be nice about it…

ok, he’s dead. “Hey, that guy’s a dangerous criminal, we’re all alone in a large building, and i am not armed. Maybe I’ll blackmail him!”

Hope Tracey gives Gruesome a freebie on Otis’s “accident”. Slimey little blackmailer.

Otis knows too much for his own good, which is fine if you keep it to yourself. However, loose lips sink ships.

It doesn’t look like it is going to be a good opening night for Vitamin Flintheart.

When he opened in the play SLEUTH, his co-star Barry Moore (Putty Puss in disguise) began to have a face melt during the performance. Tracy recognizing Putty Puss jumped onstage to apprehend him. Putty Puss disarmed Tracy and grabbed a sword from the set to threaten him. Tracy grabbed another sword and the two proceeded to engage in a sword fight while the audience thought it was all part of the show.

Things are gonna get Gruesome for Otis..

Otis is a goner

Oh no Gruesome has been recognised and confronted by a little old man. Gee, I wonder what he’ll do?

Ok, guess I missed it…..how was Otis able to tell it was Gruesome? Also, realistically speaking, him actually confronting Gruesome about knowing whom he really is would be a real stretch…..unless he has already safeguarded himself against harm….which is easily accomplished by telling Gruesome if something happens to him (Otis) he has that info in his will, etc…..

Kandikane needs to dump Vitamin for………OTIS!……that’ll knock the ol’ Flintheart ego down a few notches, lol

Trying to blackmail a criminal is one of the dumbest things someone can do. It never ends up well for them. Criminals do not like having someone around who knows too much and it’s much cheaper to get rid of them and not have to worry about them coming back later. At least in Tracy blackmailers usually wind up dead.
