Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for March 19, 2019

Good morning™, Lee Ebony fans!

That was a long leave of absence. Hopefully, she’s all rested up and has alteady started analyzing the crime scene.

(Unfortunately, her hand is a little too small, but she’s back at work, so hopefully she’ll be drawn a bit better soon.)

Has it been a year

Since the news caused us despair

We were filled with so much sorrow

When we said goodbye to Morrow

His style was quite unique

He would always raise a stink

But his passion for DT

Was always clear for all to see

We are weaker since he’s gone

But of course we carry on

So for Morrow I raise a toast

In the form of this heartfelt post

Lee Ebony is back on the job….good to see :)

Good morning™, killer busting team !

looks like Lee will be the bait. She can handle a guy like Barney much better than Bonnie if things go askew before help gets there.

Looks like they’re bringing back several ’80s characters…

You also look better out of that T-Bolt cover persona…

Someone had brought her up in the comments not so very long ago. ✨

She hasn’t been gone long enough to grow that much hair.

Going to great what Lee Ebony will do now that she’s back.

Girl, if you call working for Tracy on his MCU a normal life, I’d hate to see what you’d call unusual.

well well well… looks like we get a NEW CHARACTER introduced to us today!

Wait, what’s that you say?!? It’s LEE EBONY?!?!?!?

YE GODS i thought she would NEVER EVER come back! Thank God she let her hair grow back out, that T-Bolt cut made her look like a cross between Grace Jones and Wesley Snipes in the Blade movies.

First Joe Sampson, then Lee Ebony… all we need now is for Johnny (THE MAN!) Adonis to make an appearance.

Heh, wouldnt it be kinda funny, yet sad, if it was LEE who was the serial killer?!?

After all, she HAS been gone for over a year now.. and these killings have been traced back to Tracyville.

Hmmm….. did they ever say WHERE *Lee went on her extended vacation/leave of absence?!!?

Hey Morrow, it’s been a year and you’re still greatly missed! Life under the bridge hasn’t been the same for us Trolls since you left us!

Alternative Script: 1- (Off Panel): Dick Tracy? 2- DT: Who are you? What are you doing here? How did you spot me when I’m here incognito?3- I’m your daughter. (Dramatic music here) (Possibly To Be Continued – depends on the drawing)

Man, did her hair grow fast!

All right! It’ll be great to have Lee back on the force, and in the strips again. Welcome back, Lee!

With T-Bolt “gone,” does that mean we’ve come to the end of the Bribery stories?

Of course, like that other batty city, he’s just in jail and, like Abner, Haf-n-Har (and countless others), is just awaiting an escape or release…

Great to see you, Lee. Time to get started building an on-line persona as a single school teacher looking for love.

It is great to see Lee Ebony back on the job! And, yes, she may well play a part into drawing the Butcher out into the open and taking him down—perhaps as a school teacher/bait.

But…

…Shouldn’t the Chief of Detectives and head of the Major Crimes Unit have known she was coming back on duty?! And yet we see Tracy surprised that she is back….
