Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for April 04, 2021

Sleepy time tea, as all can see, leads to the land of nod

Kelly and Peggy both fall out. The drink made them feel odd.

Her gasps unheard. A dying word? Pillow upon her face

Oscar bold. A murderer cold. Embezzler a disgrace.

Oscar would rather the pillow did smother. Deadly is his crime

Cheesecake out. Aquarius shouts. Here in the nick of time?

Ha! Ha! Ha! To Bogota! Fade from this fatal scene

Aquarius is furious. Angry, shocked, and mean.

A fight ahead. Alive or dead? Who shall win the day?

Punch, gouge, and gash. Thump, tear, and smash. Fall or get away.

“They call me MISTER AQUARIUS!”

Who is saying, “Hi Alex?” Is it Oscar? He waited long enough to say it. Spider-man can talk while he is fighting.

Never turn your gaze away

From one who’s trying to end the day

Of someone who’s near and dear to you

This beast will know just what to do

He’ll pounce and tear your heart apart

They’ll roll you out upon a cart

It’s best to quash this evil dove

Before attending the one you love

’morning™, guys!

Peggy isn’t looking too good. I wonder if she’ll survive.

Good Easter morning™, botched(?) saviors !

Unless someone else comes through the door Peggy is a goner. Not the first time DT has had tragic things happen to good people. The Summer sisters were cleaning up but couldn’t save themselves in the end.

Is Alex actually unconscious or stunned ?

Quick! Let’s see

This mystery

How one who was dead

Can once again be

Is it true

He died for you

And me it seems

Is I choose to believe

He rose to life

To take away strife

And set us free

From sins agony

This resurrection day

Don’t make it the same

But give Him your heart

He loves us a lot.

Everyone have a blessed Easter day.

Oscar will say that he caught Aquarius trying to kill Auntie Bellum

Would there be an audio recording of everything that happened in the room

Tragedy,

Will she be saved, or won’t she? Still the unresolved question!

One fall guy coming up…..

So we see that Alex/Aquarius has a heart after all, in his panic calling her “Peggy” instead of “Auntie Bellum”.

Now will he, in righteous anger, beat the &^&^% out of Oscar, only to get interrupted by Tracy and company arriving in the nick of time. OR …

… will Stephen, having had a change of heart and crawling back to beg forgiveness, come upon Oscar in battle with Alex/Aquarius, and leap into action to rescue both his sister and his son.

And what about poor Kelly/Cheesecake who is still laying drugged on the floor?

! WOW ! I’m impressed with this one , super images and colors . Where did the jerk come from anyway ?

Also never turn your back on a jerk , that is rule number one in anyone’s book .

Now he will framed Alex for the murder.

…the ones that don’t look like fighters usually end up being fighters….anyway that’s how it always worked out in those old cartoons where the bookish nerd with a name like Seymour, Clark or Herkimer cuts the playground bully down to size in front of the whole gang……..

One solid brachial stun and Alex/Aquarius will be down and out so Oscar can finish THEN blame Alex! Tune in tomorrow for the fall of Alex/Aquarius.

Oscar is level 9 cold, frozen with just his head out of Lake Cocytus.

1-NARKY MARK: HEY!

2-…Tucking in Peggy is MY JOB!

3-…Oh Peggy! He doesn’t even have the pillow on the right side of your head. The pillow goes under your head!

OSCAR: This punch is coming all the way from BEHIND ME! I call it the DON’T TRY THIS IF YOUR OPPONENT IS FACING YOU DEATHBLOW! NARKY:* What…”

4-KA-THUNK!

5-OSCAR: There’s an Easter Egg for you, Narky – right on the back of your head!

NARKY: Thanks…ugh…

If someone gets hurt in this fight, at least help is right around the corner.

Wow,Neil can say Peggy doesn’t look good just by seeing her hand. Must have been that EMT School. Is this almost over?

I’m pulling out the Little Orphan Annie Decoder Ring to see if I can figure out what the heck is going on……

Alex is also ’’stunned’’ about being ’’shunned’’ by some uppity prude…….Now,is this comment more to the liking of all you ’’virgin’’ ears on this strip?

Comments only in the Low 50’s for a Sunday??

Not good at all.

Remember, fight fans, it ain’t over ‘til it’s over!

Looks like Sarcastic (would-be-)Assassin Devious Unctuous Obsequious Oscar has cold-cocked Alex with an elbow (prime striking body-part) from behind. I wonder if the skinny villain might have had some martial arts training? Will he now succeed in snuffing Peggy with a suffocating pillow? Or will Alex revive in time? Or will Cheesecake Kelly rise again to intervene?

—Speaking of rising, Happy Easter! He is risen!

Turning your back on the enemy is a big mistake!
