Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for March 13, 2012

yay, Abner is back!

I guess Mr. Levitz isn’t in the Des Plaines after all. I wonder which one of Abner’s props he’s in?

Good morning margueritem and all the other DT fans…

Abner Kadaver — I should have guessed he’d have a hand in the disappearance of the witness.(And, yeah, I’m glad to see him back, too! He’s one of my favorite new bad guys – an instant classic!)It’s strips like today’s that has me staying up to read the comics! (Why wait ’til breakfast?)

Hey – that shilouette behind Doubleup in the second panel – isn’t that B-B Eyes?Looks like the gang’s all here.

Abner Kadaver is a master of disappearances, including his own! Mixed emotions, seeing him back.margueritem, I too am glad not to have to worry about police/CSI roadblocks on River Road!

Great profile of Abner in Panel 2.

Abner = malignity

abner, my “original new villain” is back.. good, i wanna see more of him. and yeah that silhouette in the background on panel tw does look like bb eyes… good catch!

What a gruesome grouping. I wouldn’t have expected to see Panda in a bowling shirt.

Looks like the gang is all here….

Woo Gosh! This storyline’s getting pretty deep! All we need is Blaze and Mumbles, and we’re set. Wonder if the new BLACKJACK arc will be tied in with this…

What a gathering. Just being in that room would give one a contact evil urge.

Abner has those Mysterio vapors going on around him.

Is Panda a historical character? When did he appear?

whatta bunch of creeps

What else would you expect when Friday the 13th falls on a Tuesday this month?

No one noticed Mumbles behind Abner in panel 2?

The black & white rendering of todays strip is fantastic ! Being a retired architect I appreciate quality art. The detail is the best . Thank you team Tracy, a great way to start day. Good morning VB , its a wonderful day.

Panda looks he was seperated from X-Men’s Prof X at birth!

Well Putty Puss isn’t part of the gang Cueball may still have been. But we still have a whole lot of unanswered questions. LIKE ISN’T BLACKJACK DEAD!!?!!! the Queenie Casino storyline anyone

Is Abner related to Dr. Paul Bearer?

“I’ll be lurking for you.”

So, Abner says in front of his lawyer that he acted criminally, tut, tut!

Yay, Kadaver!

I see where veteran comic tv and movie star dick van smith married his long time acquaintance over the weekend. Dick’s 84 she’s 42 . Congrats and good luck Dick

Too bad they didn’t bring Gladys Kadavner back, remember in ’Bewitched" she was always yelling at Abner, yet when he came nothing was amiss.

Jerry Lawler, now Dr. Sivad! Great stuff!

Still have a volume to pick up in their Popeye series…but I never even got started on the complete Dick Tracy. (Hangs head in shame)

Oh, and today’s strip is great…and Mr. Crime’s hand-picked crowd might be unbeatable…except in the history of the strip two or more memorable villains working together usually wind up turning on each other…

A Random person opening a bottle?.Devil-Guy, I’d like you to meet Svengoolie’s son, Hocus Pocus..What, what, what?.Sounds likes you’re stuck in a rut, time for me to DISAPPEAR!
