Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for August 16, 2018

The crazy dangerous intelligent and odd Mr. Bribery. He is ripe for Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane.

Potentially an “Unreliable Narrator,” I should think. ✨

VERY bad idea, Tracy ! Bribery can ( and probably will ) manipulate Lafayette into helping him escape from prison in exchange for what he knows, and who’s to say it won’t be all a lie, anyway ?

Good morning™, last ditch attempters !

Man !  That meeting will give Bribery hours of entertainment, messing with Laf’s mind !

Since Sawtooth got killed does Mr. Bribery get to keep the 25K he promised him for killing Doc Glitch?

I think finkd is on to something. Bribery would be like Hannibal Lecter to Lafayette’s Clarice Starling. I’ve also flip-flopped on whether Lafayatte is on the up-and-up. This could very well be Tracy falling for a “long con” that gets Lafayette close enough to Bribery to launch an elaborate escape plan. Could we have a cliff hanger driving us crazy over the two-week Minit Mystery? I hope so!

Good morning™, friend of the Bribery family!

I’m sure Mr. Bribery will be helpful. He’s the very definition of helpful (not!).

Good Morning Neil and Home for the Criminally Insane Workers!!!

You know Bribery will want something in exchange for the info!!!

Well, Tracy and Sam just offed Sawtooth, so while we’re waiting for the villain bullpen to warm up, let’s look in on one in the joint…

Austin will take over Bribery’s business while he is jail. Why would Austin do that? Simple, Crystal! I think Ugly Christine joined Bribery specifically because of Crystal. Bribery is using Crystal as a bargaining chip

I generally dislike Bribery getting involved. He’s going to be trouble.

Anything that brings my favorite DT villain back is OK with me!

For every two instances of Tracy showing off his “brilliant detective skills” he pulls one bonehead move… like this one

Well, I guess the confusion continues to grow. So, Bribery is the name on Christine ’s death certificate? What the hey?

Were they married?

When was this “love child” conceived? Before or after they were married?

And Bribery would brand the forehead of his wife?

And, if adultery were involved, how did Austin not notice the scarlet letter on her forehead?

I can’t believe Tracy would suggest he talk to Mr. Bribery. Who knows what sort of answer he will get.

Liz has a weird one-fingered technique for holding a mug of steaming coffee, doesn’t she?

To JS and MC. How about some comic relief with BO and Gertie. Also will Attitude ever be shown? Would also like to see Joe and Jewel.

Today’s remarks by Lizz and Tracy leave doubt as to whether or not DNA testing even exists in this Tracy Universe. And the suggestion that Austin seek answers from Mr. Bribery seems like dubious advice at best. But I suppose Lizz and Tracy are simply trying to look at Austin’s issue [pun may be intended, if you think there is one] from all possible angles….

Don’t trust Mr. Bribery!
