Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for March 07, 2019

Good morning™, investigative collaborators!

It seems that we have a schoolteacher killer on our hands. Could that have been a teacher that knife-guy was threatening a few strips back? I think it could have been.

May I solve the puzzle? Betsy De Vos! And now, for the bonus round…

“I never should have given young Neil that F!”

Good morning™, educator eliminators !

This kind of “apple for teacher” can’t be good !

Maybe the Sports Writer was a teacher and that was why he was killed?

Interesting.

well, since they couldn’t even give police protection adequately to one person (Zelda) I’d say we’re going to lose a few more teachers before he is apprehended….

Apparently if he is a sportswriter, then I wonder if he kills teachers who correct his grammar or criticize it???

I’m a teacher myself; okay, gentlemen – you have my attention…

I don’t give grades. Students earn them. Hey! Put down that knife.

So Joe’s here to save a Bonnie Braided schoolteacher? And I’ll bet Honeymoon and Crystal get involved somehow…(Schoolgirls, don’tcha know)

Probably got sick of the Welcome Back Kotter TV show.

Now I am hearing Pink Floyd’s The Wall in my head:

♫ No dark sarcasm in the classroom …. ♫

and THIS is why Joe took a leave of absence.. Bonnie is a schoolteacher.

Apparently the flame still burns, for Joe at least.

Not for nothing tho.. if I can’t get Johnny (THE MAN!!) Adonis on a regular basis, I’d like to have Joe Sampson stick around for a couple years, maybe working as a “special attache’ to the MCU” from his own squad in Washington.

Hmm.. maybe there could be DOUBLE NUPTIALS in the works? Joe/Bonnie and Vitamin/Kandi…..

And Kandi gets in the way of the serial killer’s bullet meant for Bonnie and she bites the big one at the altar right after marrying Vitamin

Now this might evolve into a GOOD D.T. story!

Tracy needs to stop this cereal killer! His latest victims were Tony Tiger, Toucan Sam, and Cap’n Crunch.

This sounds like a case for Frank Black.

Be on the alert, school teachers! There’s a new serial killer in Tracyville, and, as the little kids say, you’re “it”!

Maybe they belittled and gave too many failing grades to this person.
