Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 09, 2017

“Teardown.”

Guess we don’t get to see the ‘Buster-Bot’ make the bust.

Lee’s Leather, beside the 3 Margies Costumes booth.

I am so glad I stood up to read today’s installment of; “A lighter Shade of Tracy!”

Everybody’s gone? :(

I’d like to see them bring back Cosucon every year.

Act 2 is on the mean streets of Tracyville.

I guess it is not important to know who won the contest.

@Gweedo it’s legal here Murray

Did they ever figure out what happened to the TV? I lost track.

Last I heard they found a stash of stolen goods in her room. No mention of who it is but star hair boy is off the hook.

Good morning, Ride along  Bill !

This is turning out to be — suspicious

Good morning all!

Could the Buster-Bot be Tracy’s eye-witness? Remember the closed circuit TV system in the suit that let Astor see outside? Maybe it caught an incriminating moment when Middle Margie thought no one was looking, or having a talk with Big Margie about the robbery.

Maybe next year, it’ll be TracyCon, where everyone comes as a Dick Tracy character. The sight of dozens of Moon Maids and Notta Fallars (sorry, m’am, there’s no smoking inside the building), and a clutch of Flattops and Prunefaces should please the hardcore Tracyphiles.

Here’s a follow-up on the Tribune Media sale, posted early this morning: http://www.newsarama.com/34409-dick-tracy-annie-brenda-starr-more-sold-and-not-to-fox.html

Just saw “GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY vol. 2” was better than vol. 1! Don’t leave when the end credits start, you will miss some things.

This is one of those days when the headlines are turning out to be a more exciting crime story than the Tracy strip.

Big Margie Legase is such an accomplished liar! When Brian Miller finally finds out that it was she who masterminded the robbery, maybe his ingenuousness will give way to a more thoughtful evaluation of people. (BTW, I would hazard to guess that it is as her being proprietor of 3 Margies Costumes and a CosUCon booth-holder that the insurance fraud part of the scam comes in.)

But, for now, Tracy needs to get moving with his investigation. He could use some kind of a break in the case, for sure. CCTV recording from the Buster Bot would do the trick, but I suspect it wasn’t running at the time of the crime. Maybe what Honeymoon saw will give Pop Pop the lead he desperately needs!

Wonder what the attendance figures were.

I’m going to guess 34,602 – Tracy’s current GoComics subscription total.

Some last-minute stats before we get into the next act. We are in day 33. The main characters are Honeymoon with 19 appearances, Dick Tracy with 14, and Big Margie with 11, followed by Astor, Little Margie, and Svengoolie.
