Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for August 27, 2019

Good morning™, singers!

Well, they caught Mitchell, so it’s about time to wrap up the loose ends. Since Jack isn’t badly hurt, the show should be able to open without a hiccup.

I’m glad to read that all has ended well.

Seems to have worked out with minimal violence. Though charges of attempted murder will be filed.

Maybe Tracy should switch to a white hat and coat? ✨❤️✨

Will he sing “I Fought The Law (And The Law Won)” or “Jailhouse Rock”? In return for his testimony he might even try “Please Release Me”…

“Singing the blues” ~ Guy Mitchell

But is singing allowed to be used as testimony?

What about all those poor souls who wear a yellow coat and hat? Do they get shot at every day ?

Good morning™, sweatbox Timmy’s !

Smiling Sam makes for a smooth and slick finish.

Long day driving yesterday and arrived about an hour ago in Milford, Iowa, above Spencer on US 71. Staying over with poster Bogy from the defunct Pibgorn group.

Alls well in Tracyland, now on to the next case!!!

Luckily Jack was wearing the famous yellow top coat, and, fedora when Doc fired, ‘cause apparently Tracy wasn’t wearing his “special” top coat. (Also, luckily, Doc is a bad shot.)

((In best Church Lady voice)) Weeeelll… isnt THAT conveeeeeeinent!"

Well now, HERE’S a shock for you all!

NG read the 3rd and 4th installment of “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend” and commented

“I am enjoying this very well sir. Very good writing. I can practically feel the rain and that damaged arm too. It will take many months to heal and to have physical therapy. Even so the arm won’t be quite like it use to be. There will be reminders.

Good work and thanx

It’s just a flesh wound

Little Doc has been led away in cuffs. So it goes for the violent criminal. The giggling and histrionics suggest he may have been using some of his own product. Good riddance to the would-be murderer. Maybe Sally and Mitchell will sing a duet. Love the classic Sam Catchem panel that closes today’s strip.

1-TRACY: I thought Sam was running you in for bleeding on my coat. 2-DECOY: He was but he couldn’t find his cuffs. So, he left. 3-TRACY: Sam? Tracy here. Do you EVER make an arrest or do anything remotely cop-like. SAM: Sure. Want me to bring you back a cruller? TRACY: That’s a stupid stereotypical-cop kind of question and of course I do.

Still no visible holes in the Yellow suit of armor. Luke Cage is extremely jealous. On to the next “exciting” adventure, hopefully not a crossover.

“He’s ready to sing. Would you prefer to hear some show tunes or a little easy-listening rock?”

So where’s the thermos, and who has it?

Just a flesh wound. Magnus is not badly hurt. Good.

Mitchell is caught by Sam and the team. Good.

Some of the loose ends are tied up. Better.
