Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for October 28, 2019

Good morning™, signal trackers!

The Wrist Genee was used in the strip from 1993 until 2011, when I was replaced by the Wrist Wizard. I didn’t have time to make my whole wrist device timeline yet.

Ahhhhhh, back to our normal silliness, not yesterday’s ridiculous interruption!

@Sisyphos  Nice renderings and if I were following that strip I would actually see the subtlety of the mashup.

Good morning™, wrist radio show offers !

Now how would that thing be set to contact a particular person unless like I postulated yesterday, she is already free and just waiting to be found ?

I hope we get an explanation from Frisk as to how she freed herself and got the distress signal out to Tracy – but I’m not holding my breath…

Chief: “Then good luck, Tracy”. (This strip is serious, no need to add a punchline)

I will "stay tuned’!

You mean you didn’t Make Frisk turn the thing in when she left the force? Awfully careless with high technology, aren’t you?

Maybe the genii is haunted and has a mind of it’s own. I mean, why not? That makes as good as sense as anything else we’ve recently seen!

/_ -/_/_….I just can’t make it out???

Meanwhile, back at the ranch….

Doesn’t Tracy remember giving it to Frisk?? Odd? Getting forgetful.

Headlong into the realm of improbability

These wrist wizards keep changing locations on their wrists….it **MUST** be…. MAGIC!!!

1- CHIEF: I’m thinking about issuing the department capes as part of their uniforms. Then our guys could hold them in front of themselves like Dracula used too. Like this. See?

2- TRACY: Cool Chief! We could hide behind them in the dark whenever things got dangerous.

3- CHIEF: You wouldn’t have to hide Tracy. They’d be bullet proof!

TRACY: I’m still gonna hide.

What, nothing about the Munsters today? Good to see DT back, pick up that big check Dicko, then disappear for a week or two. oooh, and the wrist thingee timeline. Sounds ex…zzzz…iting

Next: Tracy goes through Diet Smith’s voice mail system!

An update on Mike Curtis from his GoFundMe:“Update: Another, more invasive test is required. (Read: femoral artery) My chances are 50/50, and a risk of stroke. After that test I will know if surgery is required.Any help is appreciated.”

The techno-babble here is less than convincing. Why should Tracy need Diet’s help?

Ahem.
