Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 10, 2020

Looks like she didn’t run. Is she dead, or a shocked witness to start the tales?

Good morning™, literati!

Day 4: still no talking heads.

Looks like the blonde-haired woman is down.

O…k. The Mad Scientist just committed murder. Calling Dick Tracy.

Come Sunday, could the “camera” pull back and show us we’ve been watching a film? Perhaps written by one Adam Austin, romantic partner of a long-unseen villain(ess). And tied into another dangling plotline.

Could this be Abner Kadaver, cap and fog and all with a different hat?

Second hand smoke kills?

Good morning™, obscured succumbing murder victims !

If this is only a movie my heart rate will be happy to go back down to its usual speed. What if he is just fetish kissing strange startled females with metal mouth parts ?

If this were animal husbandry I would say he has her well ‘covered’.

Another good strip, today.

Very, very unusual story so far, go really be interesting!

White socks? This guy’s a bum!

Smoking is bad for her heath!

What a great start to the story.

Kudos to Joe for some very intense and dramatic panels the last few days. What an intriguing start to a story. Silent opening has been very effective.

Day 4: still no dialogue. Murder most foul has happened, though. The fanged wannabe Vampire, out of the swirling mists, has struck down blondie.

Bloody murder, raise the alarum!

THE SHARP TOOTHED INSULT COMIC: Here baby, let me give you a lift. Heh heh.

PARKING LOT ATTENDANT: That’s not necessary even though I can see from the length of your pants that you’re expecting a flood.

TSTIC: WHY I OUGHTA…I DO THE INSULT JOKES AROUND HERE! PLA: Take a look in the mirror – you ARE the…ACKKKKK!

“SHE’S DEAD JIM!”

Great observation on the woman Neil.

I thought these silent passages would work better in the compilation…

…but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a compilation.

Bizarro

I’m still hoping for some kind of dramatic switcheroo and Dr. Fang Cloak is more than he seems.

The last 4 days has been better storytelling than the two weeks before it.

WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE!?!

Not exactly “The Night Stalker” but with the right music it could be scary.

Looks like we got us a gen-you-ine villain here folks! Just remember; black buckle shoes,black pants,brown cape and black hat. Keep your eyes peeled!

I REALLY hope this isn’t a theatrical production at the Patterson Playhouse. I’d like this to be a genuine crime for Tracy and Co. to address.

He scared her, so she f@rted, and the smell was so bad he ran away.

This (story line) could have potential. Hopefully the plot has been developed however by week number four there has to be some meat on the bones.
