Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for February 05, 2020

Roboto is in for a shocking surprise!

Good morning™, payroll relievers !

This job is going so good and he’s got a hot babe waiting at home :-) ………… he thinks.

Just for you, @Gweedo, here is yesterday’s strip with Mysta’s costume colored as shown in the 1/26/20 and 2/2/20 Sundays.

Good morning™, payees!

Doesn’t he know that “crime doesn’t pay”? He’s about to get a bit of a shock, I think.

How did she know where they were going, and how did she catch up so quickly?

Also was anyone monitoring yesterday’s radio call? And if so will team Tracy arrive in time for Mysta to zap the bad guys and still make it back across town in time for the opening curtain?

Go get ’em, Mysta!

Not waiting for ol’ Tracy, eh? How shocking !

I don’t like this latest development at all. Mysta is not invulnerable.

“It’s just a robbery.”

“Oh, thank goodness. I thought you were going to try and replace King Louis XIV.”

Love that third panel. Great silhouette of Mysta.

Can of whoopass opening in 3…2…1…

You mess with the Lunarian, you get the horns.

Major ZAP coming!!!

Moon Maid, Crime Fighter!

just wondering does any company still pay employees this way?

Gotta think when Mysta zaps him, it’s gonna pretty painful with his head encased in metal.

I’ll let Striker tell it like it is

(giggles)

Ooo… blue lightning bolts today! Yesterday, it was black from her antennae and yellow from the car’s two-way radio :)

Let’s see, they left her alone and then left the house. she broke the cuffs then went out to the (oddly) waiting limousine which (SURPRISE!!!) actually had a cb of sorts which (SURPRISE AGAIN!!!) the MCU just so happens to monitor, and NOW she somehow, after managing to A) Break the cuffs B) Escape the house C) manage to unlock the car door and get inside (without keys mind you!) D) Radio Tracy for help E) start the car (again, without keys) and F) SOMEHOW manage to follow Roboto to his next heist?

Hell, im not even gonna mention the overwhelming absurdity of a check cashing place being open at night (as evidenced by the darkness outside the house the last few days) or how someone who looks like roboto manages to saunter into said establishment in full regalia and NOT causing everyone to run the hell out in fear for their lives

“Everyone stay calm, it’s just a robbery!” Once again, Roboto during a holdup reminds me of Blackjack!

Ummm, not to nitpick here but… shouldnt it be SCOTTY who is thanking VIRGINIA and not the other way around?

After all, its HER thats handing him the paycheck

Someone’s going to get a hiding.

Looks like Mr. Roboto is going to have a SHOCKING EXPERIENCE.

1-VIRGINIA: I couldn’t help but notice that there’s a pink note inside yours today Scotty. Did you and your wife just have a baby girl? SCOTTY: Huh?

2-KABUKI: TRICK R TREAT! Don’t be alarmed. These guns are just part of our costumes in our continuing effort to get Halloween celebrated every month of the year. That said, you’d better have some candy…

3-Meanwhile, Handles’ luck continues… HANDLES: Not only did they leave a car running for me, they also had their destination entered into Waze . I mean, they could’ve saved me the drive by having an Uber out there but still, pretty nice.

“No hiding back there?”You’re looking at the wrong back there back there.Can’t say I’m entirely disappointed that Mysta decided to take a personal hand.Roboto still looking pretty scary in the middle panel.

“Continuity”? “Sensibility”? tsull2121, surely you jest. Tracy has now become Marvel comics. Up next…Spidey v The Vulture

FUTURA superheroics – I called this!

If the stories weren’t being limited to length, we might have seen Mysta use her powers to zap the car ignition, and drive for help – maybe even stopping a police car, making a much more logical sequence than finding that 1970s radio. That she arrived before the cops is another time saving/logic defying event, but it’s to be expected in a story featuring a half-alien stage actress.

We will eventually find out that Sam Catchem hired Influence to help him quit smoking.

Hey, __StillDaMatt_ where are you ?

Zap them then call the police.

“Hey, no cutting in line!”

Here it comes!

But, how did Mysta get to Kelso’s so fast?

Can hardly wait for the action sequence I anticipate….
