Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for November 20, 2022

FINALLY!!! A Sunday without a lame recap!!!

LOL!!!

“Steelface?”

Robert has a tale to tell. Past time that he came clean

Uncle is felonious, cantankerous, and mean.

Thought he was a friend to me, securing my audition

Yet many were the strings attached. Onerous condition.

Sightless from the spotlight’s glare, a blind eye I did turn

All the while uncomfortable. Afraid I did not earn

The leading role of Pinfold. Uncle Steelface left a taint

Days of boosting cars are o’er, which don’t make me a saint.

Elsewhere, in the hospital, time for an MRI

Steelface slides into the tube, where he begins to cry

“Get me out! I’ve had enough! Embedded metal burning”

Even as they shut it down a bitter truth he’s learning.

Crime does not pay for as they say, truth will always out

Chickens shall come home to roost. Of this there is no doubt.

The reveals are coming thick and fast. as both Robert and ChopShop-Guy spill their guts. Meanwhile PainFace contemplates himself and his future….

Terrific poem!

Is Steelface’s face red from the mishap with the MRI?

Thank you for the story of Margaret York!
