Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for November 03, 2019

Diet helps to track the call. Locates Genii position

Chandler empty. Boarded up. ‘Tis set for demolition.

Frisk trussed up tight. Hard and fast. Served cold as on a platter

As she struggles to be free, she fears a fall shall splatter

Her upon the street below. Unsightly, badly broken

Keeps her calm and works the ties. Great terror left unspoken.

A nut is popped. Frisk nearly dropped. So weakened the support

Tracy arrives. Thus she survives. Death trap he does abort.

Her life is saved. The way is paved. Forgive and then forget

Brings her in out of the cold. She’s freezing, soaking wet.

Good morning™, finders of hidden Geenees!

It’s amazing sometimes the things you find in old coats, but usually in the pockets.

The next step is to track down the Howells, not to mention Lily Seven who drugged her own daughter for a bit of cash.

Good grief! Sundays only is a good way to view this strip!

Good morning™, make up sex, without the sex !

Despite the dearth of good hard edge drama in the strip the rescue scene was done with tenderness and care that shows real human concern and how two adversaries have finally buried the hatchet and not by dropping it off the roof.

What do you know – “tough guy” Frisk turns out to be a nice gal too…

And so, our dashing hero saves the damsel in distress.

See what I said yesterday about heroes like him being “in the nick of time”?

Not sure I get the thinking here…..what did they expect when they left her up there? Either she would get free and implicate them, or die…..with hands bound, an obvious murder and them the #1 suspects.Crazy…..

My phone needs charging at least once a day, if I’m careful.

I want the batteries in the wrist genii.

I notice that Frisk isn’t drawn quite as extremely today as on previous Sundays.

(1) I love the Sunday artwork. (2) Of course she’s freezing! Being tied up like that cuts off your circulation! Cold weather makes it even worse for Frisk!

(3) A professional (decide for yourself what kind of professional I mean :P ) could have easily shimmied off the ledge toward safety, but we know Frisk isn’t a professional.

Today’s artwork seems very dramatic, it’s great!

Dick Tracy to the rescue! What an incredible lucky chase for Frisk

That worked out better than I thought.

A little wiggling did kinda save her!!! Now to catch the perps and loving mother, who tried to kill her!!!

Try some mustard

“Come in out of the cold.” Double meaning? Maybe Frisk will become a regular again?

Now, come on in out of the cold. – In more ways than one.

Damn! I was hoping her ticket got punched

he’s a stand-up guy

Regarding the Crimestopper’s Textbook – the last time a car threatened someone was when Stephen King’s “Christine” was made into a move.

1-DT: FRISK! I heard a killer rat up her somewhere. Get up! We gotta go!

FRISK: You heard me shrieking moron. Try to notice I’m tied up would ya?2-DT: Ooh. Kinky!

3-FRISK: Just cut me loose and…

4-…don’t damage my favorite coat.

DT: Yeah, well, oops. How do you turn off your vibrator weirdo?

5-FRISK: IT’S NOT A…oh never mind. How far do you think we’ll get before the building starts to come down and scares everyone into believing that we’re doomed after all?

DT: And we get out not a second too soon? No way! Too cheesy! Come on. We’ll take our time getting outta here. No need to hurry at all…

Is there romance in our hero’s future?

Romance in Dicko’s future?. Tess may object. BTW, given she’s been hogtied for two weeks, will Friskie ever walk again? Nice Deus ex Machina on the wrist thingee BTW

To the rescue!

Way to go, Tracy, old man! And I’m glad to see you had a pocket knife handy. Frisk’s nonchalant banter just covers how happy she is to be rescued by you..

Get her warm, then proceed with the chase. It was the Howells, you know. They must be brought to account!

So the Sunday strips of February 22 and 29, 2004 show Frisk during her climactic chase of Sal Monella, which ended with her missing and presumed dead on March 9. That jacket was (ugh) part-pink, part-orange! No way that’s what she is wearing in today’s strip!

I can’t decide whether the wrist genie in the coat lining was convenient or contrived.
