Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 27, 2023

NOW I KNOW we’ll get to see what Sprocket and Adam are up to… and it’ll be in tomorrow’s installment…

Greetings, Reminiscent Siblings!

We’re definitely in the present now. I think another jailbrake may be in the near future. I also think we’re going to see Sprocket soon. I hope she is doing well but I don’t have the best feeling about this.

Good morning™, everyone!

Well, I see that Aquarius is still in jail. I wonder who sent him a letter.

Looks like we’ll be checking in on Sprocket and Adam shortly. The last we saw of them, Adam was headed to California for a business trip and Sprocket (now calling herself “Susan”) was going along.

Good morning™, wistful thinkers !

Hail hail !  The gang’s (mostly) all here. Looking like a scene that foreshadows a breakout. For once I would like to see a Tracyville jailbreak fail.

Very impressive that the cigarette is drawn correctly!

Story has slowed down substantially.

When I sing “Summer Nights” from GREASE at karaoke, I change “I wonder what she’s doing now” into “I wonder who she’s screwing now”!

? in smoke, I like that. Nice touch…..

Maybe we will find out Sunday ?

The inmates seem quite happy here!

When did the comic book guy from the Simpsons get arrested? Lol

Only in a comic strip are all the prison inmates white …

Before he became the Monopoly Man, Rich Uncle Pennybags spent several years in prison.

This is like the parade of bad guys Tracy has put in jail during Mike’s tenure as writer.

From his pose it looks like the Jumbler is into power walking, that’s cute/fun!

The guy on the right looks like the Monopoly guy! (In younger years)!

1-HIYO: DANG! That lucky Aquarius got a Day Pass from somebody on the outside! And Rambler is dancing to some song in his head – probably I Am The Walrus since he looks like one. Everybody’s happy here but me!

2-… Awh – screw that pity party. I got the Menthol Cigarette concession and I’m making bank while soothing the boys’ lungs. Wait’ll they get a taste of the Clove Cigarettes I got coming! I’ll rack up so many Day Passes that I’ll never have to come back! HEY AQUARIUS! YOU OWE ME FOR 40 PACKS! Gimme that Pass and we’ll call it square! Come on. Don’t make me turn Rambler loose on you. Lookit him practicing punches over there maybe? He’s itchin’ to…

RAMBLER: ♪♪♫ Y M C A! ITS FUN TO LIVE HERE AT THE Y M C A! ♪♪♫ HIYO: DANG IT RAMBLER!

Maybe Sprocket will get shown tomorrow unless there is some more mileage to be squeezed from these lockdown scenes.

I’m sure she’s sad without he’s brother. Maybe she’s even considering buy shoes.

Don’t we all, Silver! Maybe we’ll get some start at an answer tomorrow! I, for one, would be happy to see Sprocket and learn what she has been doing since escaping to California.

Meanwhile, we may note that the Tracyville pen is full of felons we have met courtesy of the current scriptor….

Prediction: “I wonder what she’s doing right now” is going to turn into a jail break by her tomorrow. It may even be a particularly destructive one where any of the other possible inmates could escape and show up in an arc later on.

NO SMOKING!!
