Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for October 23, 2019

Quite the predicament. ✨

Good morning™, acrophobiacs!

Hovering on the edge of a high roof, with crows pulling on her hair (and likely pecking at her), Frisk finds herself in a bit of a predicament. I suppose the Howells want this to look like some kind of suicide, though I’m not clear how a suicide would work in this situation.

I see an attempted murder in the 3rd panel…

A precarious perch – now these Howell a-holes are really beginning to piss me off …

Good morning™, crow pecked impending doom victims !

Even if she doesn’t come undone for a fall due to possibly frayed-on-purpose roping she will have some serious gangrene going on.

Hard to see where she’s at in the first panel. With any luck (so it won’t happen) someone in an opposite building will see her.

I don’t understand what went “vroom” earlier. I assumed that she was locked in the boot of a car with the engine running.

Those villains are never smart enough to just shoot you, are they?

OH NO, NELL’S TIED TO THE TRACKS!!

We’ve already seen Coffee do his best Marshal McCloud impression, so we’re “bound” to see Tracy make like Dudley Do-Right, right? But how will the MCU find her? Maybe one of those birds is the 3-Eyed Raven from GoT…

At least now we know the “click, vrrrrom” from the other day was likely a freight/service elevator.

Hmm… So what did her mother and the goons accomplish from all this? Get the cops to focus on themselves?

I’m sorry, this has really gone beyond any kind of credible turn of events. DT has now officially jumped the shark, IMO.

Quote the Raven, “Nevermore”!

A very frightening situation for Frisk, as bad as I could imagine!

Quite an elaborate scheme. Doesn’t she have Dick’s watch on her?

Frisk, “Tracy!!! I can see your house from here!!!” LOL!!!

Well this is all horrifying. Something worthy of Alfred Hitchcock. I assume she’s so high up no one can see or hear her from the street, and being night, there’s no one in the nearby high rises to know she’s there.

Wait a minute – what’s that rope at the end of a winged creature? And who are those two walking up the side of the building? (And why is someone poking their head out of the window and talking to them – let ’em get up here to me, already! )

Humpty Dumpty was pushed!

Not Glenn Close, but Glenne Headly, the actress who played Tess in the Dick Tracy movie by Warren Beatty has died at 62.

BAHAHAHAHA!!!

All you can do is laugh at the absurdity of it all!

I’ll agree with Frisk and say AAIIEEE!!

Let’s see,,,,, I want to get rid of my nemesis once and for all so let me drug her and tie her hands and feet to the top of a high rise building where the crows can slowly eat her.

What a moronic plan and an even worst storyline.

The word of the day is Ridiculous.

1- Hmmm. I guess I’m not dreaming…

2- Wait a sec…I see what’s happened! Some despicable, dastardly doer of evil has located a condemned building that’s scheduled to be demolished and…

3-…tied me up here where inspectors looking for bums won’t think to look for them before giving the ok to tear this thing down. Very clever but they don’t know about my unique ability to yell for help. HELP!!!! Anybody?…

Don’t worry everyone, Clybourne the cigarette-smoking Crow will come to her rescue.

Well… I DID say yesterday that she was on a high rooftop, that crows were picking at her, and that she’d be thrown off the roof.

looks like I did pretty good

Whoa, I was so close on many levels, from yesterday it appears. https://www.gocomics.com/dicktracy/2019/10/22

Yeah Neil, hands ties behind her back sure will make it look like a suicide. I’d agree that Dudley Dicko might arrive, but where is he? Still enjoying Our Town? BTW. Glenne Headly died 2 years ago, try to keep up

Could this be Bribery’s / BlackHearts tower?

Have anybody given a plausible explanation of any the Howells are so determined to see her dead?

Are those crows or Magpies?

It is, at least in part, as I surmised in my post late yesterday. The carrion crows are already treating Frisk, who is hooked to the HVAC and teetering on the brink of going over the edge, as if Dead Fish Dead and thus a tasty treat! But since she is alive and alert, I suppose she will somehow survive—perhaps be rescued by someone, though the site is rather off the beaten track….
