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

This much we know. ✨

SIGH

Tracyville will never be confused for Excitementville that’s for sure!

Wake me up when something happe,,,ZZZzzzz

Looks like we’ve erased the only action this strip, let alone this storyline, has had in months!

I know, I know. This arc is only two weeks long.

It just seems longer.

Good morning™, detractors!

Yes, we already knew about all the stuff they have said today. What’s more, Alex Wilson already knew all the stuff that Dethany is telling him. Today’s strip doesn’t advance the story at all.

In my version of this story, Mr. Wilson has just pushed a secret panic button underneath his desk and a team of shotgun-wielding assassins are waiting just outside the door to take Dethany and Tracy out.

Talk, talk. It’s all talk.

Too much talk. Small talk. Talk that trash.

Expressions, editorials, expugnations, exclamations, enfadulations!

It’s all talk…

I kind of think Wilson is sweating out in his mind what to do!

He’s trying to cover his butt!!! Just in case!!!

I think they are laying a plot to foil Coney and his cohorts!

Go ahead.

It occurs to me, that in real life, Deathany could apply for a restraining order again Coney, and, “associates,” on behalf of Fastrack. Once granted, the next time, COney, and/or, his associates," are found at that warehouse, the cops could be called, and, they’d be arrested for violation of the restraining order. And, if/when Stooge’s bank is found, it would belong to Fastrack. (Unless the State’s Attorney’s office could prove it came from Stooge’s criminal acts.)

The Tracy crossover in the FasTrack strip end this weekend if not yesterday, Friday.

We’ve been in Wilson’s office so long, his suit has gone out of style.

Lure him out with an ice cream truck

1-BOSS: And just who is this lovely and delectable lady?

2-…I can’t help but notice that you aren’t engaged or married.

DETH WARMEDOVER: Me? I’m Miss Warmedover. But you can call me “anytime”. NO. Wait. I AM engaged. To a picture frame model. I just haven’t gotten the ring yet. BOSS: Oh, he’s saving up for a very special one I presume.

3-DETH: No. I am.

BOSS: I have the perfect little bungalow for a couple of newly…

DT: THAT’S NOT WHY WE’RE HERE! Deth needs an agent and we hear you’re good.

BOSS: Well, now that The Walking Dead has played out and Game Of Thrones is finished, there’s not much call for zombies.

DT: There must be something…

BOSS: Ahh, well, Madame Tarot has an opening for an assistant. Let me hear you say “Hello son. Me and your father are very happy in heaven. OooooOOOOHHhhh.” DETH: What’s my motivation?

DT: Money.

It seems a simple matter of who has the deed.

Uh, oh, you know it’s bad when Neil complains

Wrong warehouse, you muttonheads! The right one is at Chester and Gould.

Now tell us something we don’t know.

“Groundhog Day: The Comic Strip”

Well, it’s not much, but Dethany has confronted Alex Wilson with the situation at the warehouse. He is, of course, entirely familiar with it, but it is his reaction to her info dump (especially that in panel 3) that will provide some hint of where the story might be going.—That, I fear, is pretty much all we can expect Sunday, though a change of scene back to the warehouse might (or might not) have something to offer….

Yawn

What moves at a more glacial pace? Coney’s ice cream cones melting, or this storyline?
