Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for October 24, 2011

Good morning everyone…*

Ya’ could cut the smoke with a knife! Those were the days!

VB, check out today’s Broomhilda.

Looking forward to more fun from the Dick Tracy gang!

Good EveningIt makes my eyes water just looking at all that smoke.

There was just as much smoke in the live Roy Orbison“Pretty Woman” video with Bruce Springsteen and othermusic stars.

The dons meet, but the capo di tutti capi is not present…. They are but puppets on a string of crime.

Nice Tribute to Chester Gould in Sunday’s edition.

I have a personalized drawing of Dick Tracy from Chester Gould with my name on it plus a message to me.

It was on Gould’s Dick Tracy stationary.

It is a treasure I will never part with.

It is over 50 years old the drawing.

…Today’s strip just gave me melanoma.

Cough – cough – Somebody turn on the – cough – A/C!

B-B Eyes, Mumbles, Blaze Rise, The Apparatus – Woo! Gosh! This looks like quite a story!

While they’re smoking stogies, the Panda should be nibbling on bamboo. Much healthier.

@brinrikBut as Jack Webb once said, sometimes crime /does/ pay..Besides, I think a better caption would’ve been “Ain’t I a stinker?”

Also, if ComicStripNation’s watermarks are a goof, they’ve goofed again this week..I’m trying to make out what it even says, but it’s a bit difficult. Maybe I’ll try layering them all together.

“AJC™TrialBuy Now!”Sounds like it could be a program called Advanced JPEG Compressor. Good job, CSN..If they would just save them as grayscale GIF format, we wouldn’t be having this problem right now. Not to mention, quality would be much better, and filesize would be smaller.

Can you imagine how their clothes reek?

Yay! The Apparatus!

Sounds as if the Panda’s a bit hard to bear.

mmhm

Wait a minute – didn’t we see Panda get out of jail only a short while ago? As I remember it, he was recruited at the jailhouse door by another bald headed guy, who told him he would now be working for the new Mr. Crime. Panda’s first reaction was very skeptical. Now he seems to be holding the # 2 position, just like he did originally with the first Mr. Crime. Hmmmm.

Sure sign the Apparatus are villians—they’re all smoking big stoogies, just like backroom dealing politicians and Wall Street bankers.

The Apparatus?! Crime Inc. is building some INTENSE muscle right now. Can’t wait to see what Team Tracy has in store for us.

“Smoke Rings” from Smoke Dreams"—While a cigarette burns—Two cigarettes in the Dark"—Chesterfields, they satisfy—“A cigarette that bears a lipstick’s traces”—I’d walk a mile for a Camel—Old Golds, not a cough in a carload—Reach for a Lucky instead of a sweet—Lucky Strike’s Green has gonre to war—Smoke Kools, Smoke Kools—Little man with a candy cigar—Call for Philip Morris

-OOps-excuse typo—(gone)

I wonder what ever happened to some of the supporting characters….like Flossie Frost, Big Frost’s daughter. Frost tried to have her killed because he thought she had turned him into the police. I also wonder whatever happened to Themesong?? If I recalled she was originally linked with Shoulders and also invlolved with Gargles who had killed her mother.

Man, talk about your boardroom meetings! Their clients could die from second hand smoke in 15 minutes!

I haven’t seen the Apparatus since they shook down Big Boy! Don’t take them lightly!

Panda looks like Jean-Luc Picard!

Very strange about ComicStripNation. None of the other strips that I looked at on the site have the watermark issue including Gasoline Alley which is from the same syndicate.

I take it back. Gasoline Alley has the same issue. It would seem that its a Tribune problem
