Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 29, 2022

Good morning™, everyone!

Mr. Jett is acting suspicious, but Ms. Bath has a record! I wonder when Tracy did that background check.

“Two hard-boiled eggs.” honk honk “Make that three hard-boiled eggs!”

Misdirect? ✨

Good morning everyone. Here’s a treat for today: An original Minit Mystery from Harvey Dick Tracy Comics

That makes two likely suspects. So if we apply the least likely suspect rule of mysteries Christopher should be the one

Good morning™, fall girls !

Someone knew she had a record and so is using that for a cover/diversion. Is the old girl getting double jeopardy ?  Why is “I’m innocent, I tell you !” always the wrong thing to say ?

she probably IS…

Commenting on this story is unfair.It’s impossible to present a complete, spellbinding no plot hole story in 2 weeks.

After all, team Tracy can’t do it in a 3 month story!

As a suspect with a prison record, I think she is too obvious a choice.

So,, the museum didn’t vet these ’curators" before the exhibition? Now I know what the curse of the idol is. The curse of plot holes.

Is that Dr Bath the guy/gal scientist off of the new Quantum Leap ?

Anita Bath is all wet!

If Dr. Bath is really a woman, and not a man in disguise, I’ll eat my hat.

Still suspecting Sam. He’s been flashing some classy new bow ties and green threads lately. We never see his feet, but I bet he has saddle shoes, too!

Seems obvious the exhibits have been switched with fakes…

Dr. Bath has become the scapegoat but it is only temporary. The other two cannot the luxury of popping champagne when they return to their hotel rooms. The snobbish guy is starting to look good for having those guards drugged. He probably contracted with an “agency”.

I’m afraid you’ll have to wait here, Dr. Bath, until we develop a plot line.

oh she’s clean

PANEL1 – JETT:. On 4 – 1,2,3,4. ALL THE LEAVES ARE BROWN AND THE …STOP! YOU’RE FLAT CASS!

So True!

MOVIE QUOTE

CHICO:“The motive for the theft was robbery.That’s my solution”.

GROUCHO:“Yeah,and I wish you were in it”

ANIMAL CRACKERS—1930

Drop a tiny pellet into that ever-present thermos bottle and gas pours out.

They did it on the BATMAN TV SHOW all the time.

Anita Bath’s pith helmet and safari costume are oddly colored purple. I wonder if it is supposed to be this color or the colorist made the choice.

She’s guilty!

And with the flu season coming on,remember to use GARGLES MOUTHWASH for that weird,completely unidentifiable taste.

Lurch has green skin today.

Methinks the lady (?) doth protest too much! Does the Finger of Justice suddenly point at the ex-con? And is “she” perhaps a transvestite? —Certainly has a rather masculine look, especially in panel 3, when panicked and pleading.

Whichever of the flustered curators is guilty (or even if all shared in the caper), today they all look bad….

Tell it to the judge, Harpo!

if he wasn’t dead, I’d say that underneath that makeup, Ms. Bath is really Selfy…
