Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 28, 2017

Good morning guys!

What a get up on those goons. Their heads could be in a window display.

Can I get your autograph !?

Good morning, Goon buster, Bill !

Blackjack is smitten.

He faces Sparkle Plenty.

Unexpected, yes.

SURPRISE!!!

There may be a problem in finishing the robbery before the song ends.

♬ “Oh, sweet mystery of life, at last I’ve found you …” ♬

Good morning VB&C and all the DT’s fans. Maybe he will give Sparkle her money???

Now comes the kidnapping.

And Tracy will get blamed for not arresting Blackjack before—at the first robbery

Obviously Sparkle’s powers of observation are uncanny! I mean, she deduced that the bank robber “MUST BE BLACKJACK!” when yesterday he introduced himself to the entire bank upon entering!

Her Father-In-Law must be so proud!

Wishing now he had brought an autograph book, or his Sparkle Plenty doll with him.

“Splash Panel Wednesdays.”

Love the look on his face!

Hey guys, I don’t know if the powers that be will allow this to stay and I don’t want to upset anyone (I’d NEVER want to do that! LOL!) We have an urgent need and I hope you’ll consider helping Fiddler. Thanks to my fellow Tracy-ites! https://www.gofundme.com/fiddlersfight

Since no one else has said it yet, I’ll state the obvious: EXCELLENT ART TODAY!

To everyone calling this, “predictable”, of course it is in the way deliberate foreshadowing is predictable. They’ve been setting up that Blackjack is a fan of the Plentys and of Sparkle and that Sparkles uses the same bank Blackjack will be robbing. Of course Mike and Joe want us to anticipate that these two will meet during the robbery.

But now what? If this is so predictable, what happens next? Blackjack may be a crook, but he’s always had his own weird code of honor that includes not harming civilians. Will his crush on Sparkle cause him to break that code, or will he stick to it. It’s impossible to predict at this point.

Thanks to Gweedo and Morrow who have already responded to Fiddler’s need. I take back all the nasty things I’ve ever said about you guys! Until tomorrow! LOL!!!

One panel Tracy makes me so happy.

“This magic moment…”

I was a Flower of the mountain yes when I put the rose in my hair like the Andalusian girls used or shall I wear a red yes and how he kissed me under the Moorish Wall and I thought well as well him as another and then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes.

What a great single-panel strip! Gotta love the respective expressions of Blackjack and Sparkle! Blackjack’s gang may be less amused….

Same scene as yesterday so presumably the song’s still playing:
