Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 01, 2020

Good morning™, sleepyheads!

Well, saying that he’s doing “consulting” isn’t a total lie, but he doesn’t seem to care much about Edison’s feelings. He’s already planning a very late night once again.

We may see murder yet. I have a horrible feeling it will be Edison who dies.

Good morning™, late sleepers !

Has our girl finally had her fill and be out the door by tomorrow’s installment ?  I would like to see her follow Shaky on his next outing, to finally find out what he’s up to.

I think things will come to a head in about 2 weeks. And I believe Edison will come out unscathed.

Edison’s no fool. A woman knows when her man is cheating with another woman.

It’s almost getting to be that the only crime is how Shaky treats Edison!

Is Edison going to strangle “Breathless” and leave B.O. Plenty to take the blame, semirepeating hiztory? That would knit all the strands of this storyline together.

I think we will be seeing someone lite up soon…

Edison without her glasses? First time? (Looks good first panel)

is “consulting” a new euphemism for what Shaky v2 is getting from Fortuna?

Shaky now admits that this is a “consulting gig”, not a “scam”. He’s been ashamed to admit that he was being paid a wage for doing something that’s actually legal?

Amazing she could sleep for ten hours without needing to get up and water the lawn … Four hours is my limit.

I seem to recall Edison and Shakey in bed together a couple weeks ago. And now she’s sleeping on the couch, in her own apartment, so he doesn’t wake her up when it comes in and crawls into bed at like 3 a.m.? If Edison doesn’t shoot him Gloria Steinem should…

Are current readers/commentators old enough to recognize the name Gloria Steinem?

She should’ve dumped him long ago have a bad feeling about her safety

Whoa… she has eyes!

She’s not going to take this lying down on the couch.

Aww, what a thoughtful, considerate letter. What a sweet guy. And nothing wrong with doing "consulting: work, is there? Have I been wrong about the poor pulsating palooka?

Yep Shaky, “Consulting gig”… Poor Edison.

The artistic affects in panel two are brilliant!

Today’s panel being made necessary by the fact that you can’t “fade to black” in a comic strip… as yesterday’s panel likely would have concluded.

aw

Edison should just kick him out of the house, except she would need to put on shoes first.

*1-WHATSERNAME: Cock a doodle doo, it’s late…

2-…oh, a note from my lover boy. Oooh! A poem!

3- You’re kind of cute

From head to knee

But when you’re nude

Your big ol’ feet

Really scare me. CAW CAW!!

WHATSERNAME: OH! JAY THINKS I’M KIND OF CUTE!!!

Tune in tomorrow for another episode of “As the Stomach Turns.”

If Shaky wrote the note last night, why is the ink not yet dry on it? LOL j/k

Looks to be about time for Edison to wake up. I think she will. Then, the going gets rough for Shaky Mk.2 and maybe also for his (ahem!) co-conspirator, Fortuna Dyer….

Never knew her last name until today. Edison Lighthouse??? Clever.
