Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for December 26, 2009

Telly Savalas seems to have gained a bit of weight since yesterday.

He gave him a free knuckle sandwich.

Yeah, you really rock….. meh…..

Telly Savalas now has no neck, a short arm, and a tiny hand…

I’m glad somebody at least has a plan.

Well, things are moving along. As Flight Suit noted, Telly is gaining weight rather quickly. He’ll be larger than Della Contessa soon! I wish the “boss” (Telly) would let us all in on his plan! The fiddle was the first stage in his plan a couple weeks ago and only a day or two ago it was the final stage. ???

Don’t forget guys… tomorrow is Crime Stoppers Notebook where we learn how to protect ourselves from the bad guys.

Pig on Wheels will be back, I hope.

I’ll do Dick a favor and write the Crimestopper’s Notebook for him. Let’s see…

How about…

“Doing dirty deals with the Backstreet Boys? Don’t tell Daddy!”

Good…

“I rock”….

oh, god.

It’s that fat “head” now bigger than the “violin”

There’s a TIME oddity in the Father / Son sequence. On arrival, backstage after the Concert, Sonny say’s “Sorry I’m late Dad” As if there had been an unforseen delay in arriving with the Violin “on time” before the Concert

What was Sonny doing? Getting a week … a week of last practise before sale?

For, in Maestro’s earlier (Nov.26) call to the Police, he “reported” that the son had been missing for a whole week !

And on Dec.2 on his cellphone son, Ludwig’s communication to his buyer is couched in this language (“Yea, I got it and the old man will go ballistic”) seemingly implying he had just THEN, secured the Violin, and not 1 week earlier.

This might be yet another example of Locher “forgetting” (or not really caring) what he wrote a few days before. Sad !

Tracy seems to be the problem. Trouble follows wherever he goes.

Where’s Kojak’s lollipop?

I can’t wait to see what kind of nonsensical plan Locher has dreamed up this time.

Sunday will be a recap. Monday is always a repeat of Friday.

Therefore, on Tuesday the henchman will realize his question wasn’t answered, so the first panel will show him asking for what will be the fourth time what the plan is.

And I’ll bet the boss still won’t give a straight answer.

“Boss, tell me again how the fiddle fits into our plan.” It’s hard to get thug help that hasn’t had one too many concussions.

Fit into a plan?! That quarter-size child’s fiddle could fit in a coat pocket.

I have a plan, though. One of them murders the other one (looks like the son has already murdered the father (both of them inflicting mortal wounds on each other would be too much to hope for)) and the survivor tries to collect the insurance on the smashed copy. He can claim to have killed the other one in self defense, and it’ll be hard to tell the broken remains of a violin are shards of a modern copy rather than an old Stradivarius.

Meanwhile downtown, Kojak can try to find a use for that miniature he paid $2 million for….

I had to smile. I must say your take on Locher’s Dick Tracy pacing and galloping “repetition” seems not only insightful but accurate

And if you listened to his Praetorian Guard (they’re awfully silent these days), they’d have you “believe” - TMS was twisting Locher’s arm to do it that way.

Hey! What did the kid do with the lunchbox with $2 million in it? I hope he didn’t misplace it.

is it just me or are the tuning pegs on the violin/viola/fiddle/Guitar Hero plastic imitation on the NECK and not the scroll at the top of the instrument?

That’ll make tuning a little hard, if not impossible.

Elexia said, about 2 hours ago is it just me or are the tuning pegs on the violin/viola/fiddle/Guitar Hero plastic imitation on the NECK and not the scroll at the top of the instrument? That’ll make tuning a little hard, if not impossible

That’s just crazy talk right there. Everyone knows that a Stradivarius in Naperville is perfect as drawn. Just ask MPH.

Telly is gaining weight with each passing day.

Bring back the P.O.W.! (pig on wheels!)

If the thug who resembles Mumbles is a woman, her name is Mumblinna. I’m just saying.

What’s the story with that bleeep violin?
