Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 14, 2022

I was right… set-up for the next storyline…

Good morning™, everyone!

He not only hasn’t opened them in a while, he also seems to have completely forgotten what’s in them.

Since Mike has already said the Moon storyline is next, this could be setting up the next one…or sometime after that.

And maybe Mike will write a good story…one day.

Tracy will look into those blank eyes and fall like a ton of bricks.

Good morning™, mystery papers !

Oh my gosh !  The “receipt” papers from when I turned infant Annie over to the agency. Having read of her being in the area and her exploits with that Moon freak girl I will call Tracy to ask him about a years long overdue meetup.

I am not a fan of these abrupt switches from one story to another. It’s a cheap way to build suspense.

First rule of garages: If you can still fit a car into it, you don’t need to clean it out.

Annie’s Grandpa?

Got message with a test asking if a BLAM notice would ocdog.

Typed series of words with the banned three letters replaced by dog, and was banned for unknown combination I’m not even going to attempt to discover.

Was this interlude really necessary?

He’s Tracy’s old Principal—Tracy never finished high school and as such is unqualified to be chief of detectives. Dick has to go back to school and hijinks ensue!

It’s an old indictment for Daddy Warbucks’ war crimes.

“But for now he’s here merely to give us time to finish the other story so we don’t have to rerun yet another Minit Mystery!”

but not today

I’m definitely getting the LOA/Harold Gray vibes with this character’s design.

From the way the eyes are drawn, I’d guess Annie and Warbucks will be making their summer “back from retirement” appearance.

Hmmm, he is quick to note some papers look legal and important!

So the “investigation” this man began yesterday involved a new definition of the word investigation coined by Mike: To clean, tidy, straighten.

I gotta go. It’s my job to investigate the toilet bowl every couple of weeks.

1-BLIND BILL: Now that I can see, I think I’ll ready some of the stuff in these boxes…

2-EEEEK! A MOUSE! Wait…how would I know that? I’ve never seen one…

3-HELLO?…I’m Dick Tracy’s father? I guess that could be true. After all, I never could see who I was shtupping. And I scored plenty by telling the chicks I was Ray Charles. Oh well. Maybe I’ll let him know…one day…

I’m noticing that it takes a tick for a Comment to load. I’m guessing that it’s because it’s being scanned for Banned Bad Words. Apologies to anyone else who may have posted the same thing. I haven’t read all the Comments yet…BUT I WILL LATER. I value your input, thoughts and opinions like the pearls of wisdom they are. That’s just the kind f guy I am.

“One day this man will be important to Dick Tracy.”

Will this be a prophetic pronouncement that will pop up on occasion like Chester Gould’s “The nation that controls magnetism will control the universe” ?

This guy is doing his spring cleaning, well better late than never. After all, seven days until the beginning of summer according to the calendar.

Wow Neil, nice observance.

The minister turned out to be an imposter,and Dick’s marraige to Tess was never legal.

“Next on HGTV, Extreme Garage Cleanouts. Stay tuned as our team deals with old papers that might need to be saved!”

Well, excuse my short fuse, but that was a two-day waste of time. Save the “new story suspense” for the new story, where I suspect it will be needed. Some Annie-like old guy’s legal junk is of zero interest today.

Meanwhile, didn’t we have a bank-looting scheme by Victor Buono, or some character like him, to deal with? Deal!
