Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 28, 2020

Eddy’s getting suspicious!

Good morning™, late-comers!

Skipping out on their date night was not a good move! Now, she will be more suspicious.

Edison hopefully will figure out where Shaky’s priorities lie…

Good morning™, two timers !

Will he have “juice” enough for Eddy after his first date night ?

Right now she’s just disappointed but that can turn nasty pretty quick.

So, Shaky is more than a crook – he’s pond scum slime!

Well, he’s being KIND of honest…….he said it was a scam ……just didn’t tell her it was her he’s scamming, lol

Can watch A Chopped Marathon and come t on the chefs!

Shaky is offering a variant of the old “Had to work late at the office” lie…

Maybe Maddy should check his shirts for lipstick and women’s perfume… ;-D

A study many years ago found that a majority of women would prefer a nice meal at a fancy restaurant over nibbling soixante neuf at home as Shaky is implying. Even if Shaky’s vibrations are an added bonus, the comely and delectable Edison is indicating she is the woman who should have been lavishly wined & dined tonight. If Charlie is willing to share her number I’m sure many of our enthusiastic readers would jump at the chance to make it up to her.

How long before she feels that she’s the victim of the scam?

I see Edison getting wise and it spells trouble for Shaky and his plans!!

Is the light beginning to dawn in Edison?

I get the inference of some of the comments here. But does Fortuna want/need to go THAT far to get what she wants from Shaky v2? And, speaking of want/need, Edison wants something for than just “fun” there in the apartment, Shaky v2. She probably isn’t adverse to the idea, but would like to go out some place, dinner, show, something than just the “fun” you implied.

Edison will start to think Shaky is cheating on her…. YEEEEES! JEALOUSY DRAMA!!!!

I suspected when I saw her greet Shaky at the door, “here is a woman whose life revolves around her man. Mess with her at your peril – she could become his downfall.”

Best not to tug on Superman’s cape, spit into the wind, pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger, or mess around with date night. That move was…shaky.

Whoa! That last panel says it all!

whoops he might have to find a new hide out. He turns edison against him and he’s up the creek.

hey, get a room

Not having fun with this story line.

Time to cue up the Georgia Satellites, Edison…

1-JAY BOGART: Oops. Got some lipst…uh, gravy on my jacket. Hey! I’ve just realized – you are kind of a better looking “Thelma” – you know, on Scooby Doo.

WHATSERNAME: Oh yeah? Well, you’re an uglier Scooby Doo!

2-JAY: Honey, I meant it as a compliment.

3-WHATSER: Well, I meant that you ain’t nothin’ but a low-down HORN DOG! WHERE YOU BEEN AT AND WHO WITH? I can smell the cheap perfume and I know that’s lipstick on your jacket, fool.

JAY: I’m not saying it is, but if it was, what get’s it out? Just wondering.

WHATSER: I got just the thing: A boot up your arse or a call to the cops. Your choice.

JAY: Don’t be that way, sweetlips…OW OW OW. STOP OR I’LL CALL THE COPS!

Pass the eye bleach.

Get rid of that shaking bum Honey! I’ll treat you right!

If Edison is not stupid (and she is not), she must be(come) suspicious of Shaky Mk.2’s (mis-)behavior. The only question is, how long will it take her to react and retaliate? How much of a Hurt will she put on Ol’ Shaky Two-timer?
