Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for August 06, 2020

Good morning™, guys!

Tick-tock! Guy doesn’t want her to give in. Can she resist giving in? She looks quite distraught.

Sniff, sniff this is so sad, I feel like crying!!!!!

By the way, how does she keep her nightgown from completely falling off of her???

Good morning™, roped and ready for branding !

That guy’s coiled in rope almost to his neck and he’s going to “find a way out of this” ?  Wotta dreamer ! :-D

Is she Betty Boop’s sister?……me thinks she might be at that.

Omergawd! Don’t grovel, Dethany, and don’t be a weak fainting-type. Guy is strong. You must be also! Keep your wits about you and help bring Howdy and the rest of the Coney Gang (not omitting Alex Wilson) to justice! Remember, you’ve got Dick Tracy and his MCU team on your side!

Poor Dethany.

Not sure that Coney and his minions have really thought this through. Are they really planning to keep Guy captive while Dethany communicates with head office and gets them to sell the warehouse back? And then they have to resume searching—which they’ve been doing for a while—until they find the MacGuffin. In the meantime, the cops will certainly know where to look for them, eh?

Why does she appear to have male pattern baldness?

Guy is so brave! Poor Dethany.

he’s even more stupid than i thought. She’s being left free to act. as soon as doody goes, she should call tracy, assuming real detectives are not available, and bust cony wide open. they’ve said where she needs to stop going, here’s enough of a tie that they can swarm the warehouse to get the crooks.

The clock is ticking ms dendrobia…the Sweatbox Express waits for no man

I dunno…stick a big black bulbous nose on her and I SWEAR she is a ringer for Snoopy!

MYSTERY SOLVED (one of them anyway)

1-DETH WARMEDOVER: In Japan, it is traditional for women like me to greet visitors at the door with a tear bath for their sandals. I might need an onion to work up enough to get these boots clean though…

2-GUY PRONOUNCED GEE: Wait! You are GEISHA?!?

3-DETH: Of course. Who else would wear all this kabuki makeup?

GUY: MAKEUP!!! Why have we not realized this before?

DETH: Probably my eye deformity which made me an outcast in Japan, my perfect English and the fact that you’re stupid.

HOWDY: C’mon. These boots ain’t gonna tear-wash themselves!

Once again, comments better than story. Oh, really deep entry Neil

Why is she wallowing on the floor? Did Howdy slug her and knock her down in some edited panel? I don’t really think that happened but it still looks a bit silly that she is rolling around at his feet. The only thing I can figure is that yesterday when it looked like the phone was sliding out of Howdy’s gloved hand, he was actually tossing it onto the floor. Dethany then dived onto the floor to get the phone to talk to Guy. The action is not very clear to me and I never figured Dethany for being a crybaby.

When is this arc going to end? The crossover in “On the Fastrack” is already over.

I don’t know ‘bout y’all, but just the thought of an evil Howdy Doody gives me a thrill all the way to my fingertips! Now I’ve got to set my alarm for the next installment of this greatest of all, without question, comic strip!

Of course he can hear you, it’s a phone.

Do any of us here do video calling as indicated in today’s panels ?
