Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for December 09, 2016

The Buffalo laid Selfy low

A narcissist was dealt a blow

No more to bask in the warm glow

Of his self-love, his Selfy show.

The jig is up. No more snap-click

Cape Buffalo was just too quick

It only needed one good lick

See Selfy now you may be sick.

Cell phone is busted. Lens is cracked

Cannot list here all Selfy lacked

A vile man, his faults were packed

Into the louse who just got wacked.

Well, took awhile, but Selfy’s last photos will be of him on a slab in the city morgue.

.

Good morning guys!

.

Move over Otis and Vic.

That’s mostly a wrap.

.

Just enough time for some holiday cheer, possibly a check-in with Sam & his ailing wife.

.

And then, on to …

.

… The Spirit.

I hate these “off camera” climaxes.

Keep going, Tracy! There might be a picture with the late Bellowthon.

“Trampled by Cape Buffalo” would have looked great on the Death List. :(

And now back to Posie and Mysta.

Sam’s story will be around Christmas

You should have listed all that Selfy lacked, Peguod. Thanks

I was right….finally, lol!

Well, darn. I was hoping for an arrest, not a demise. As JonahHex said, one last photo….

“The weed of crime bears bitter fruit” The Shadow

I get the impression that the buffalo was settling an old score. Perhaps Selfy had been a bit liberal with that cattle prod in the past, or maybe it blamed Selfy for the old guy, as his scent would have been on the body.

The blast you heard, Lizz, came from my Wrist Wizard. The Wrist Wizard has a self-destruct function?

that’s obviously Vic in the body bag, it hasn’t been confirmed one way or another if selfy was killed…. don’t count your pictures before theyre developed kids! :)

“Call me Bullwinkle, huh?” LOL

I guess GoComics is not planning to put back last Sunday pic. The other sites have a poor zoom and if I use the Internet Explorer zoom, I get a fuzzy picture. So much for paying.

3 PRO out of 15 fans.

In January, 2017, comes a case too big for only one Detective. Take a peek at the promo poster at the very fine Dick Tracy Depot. Draw your own conclusions. http://dicktracy.info/

I think the buffalo crushed the wrist wizard thus causing the explosion. That much weight being put on the WW that rapidly would do the trick I believe.

Lizz had better be careful how she handles that selfie-stick. There’s probably a poison-coated tip or blade attached.

Gone!!!

The way Tracy’s dialog is worded there in the first panel, he seems to be answering a question that we didn’t hear anyone ask. Perhaps Lizz asked him “Did you fire a shot, Tracy? We thought we heard a shot.” Or something like that.

The wrist wizard was made by Samsung. It’s a “battery thang”.

…….score one for “Bullwinkle”……and once again, Tracy is rescued by outside help, lol.

…….btw, Detective Dick, just maybe the buffalo went after Selfie first because he was BETWEEN you and the buffalo; not to mention his being the one who was alert and standing up…..

Selfie never saw what developed in the end.

Does anyone else feel like there’s a strip missing here?

For years, Brad Bird (“The Iron Giant,” “The Incredibles”) has wanted to direct an animated adaptation of THE SPIRIT, which would likely have been very close to the source material.
