Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Shelley Pleger for December 02, 2022

Good morning™, all!

Notta Fallar really did trick Blaze into thinking they were in a relationship while Notta was just using her.

Hopefully nobody here will think that Notta is in the coffee shop with them. I like that flashback technique, but it seems to confuse some readers. The weekday colorist did a really good job of blending it into the steam from the coffee.

That’s definitely not a feller.

Neat summary for anyone who wasn’t here when this story came out.

it’s three days in a row of installments with the stars being that of the female persuasion only… that’s gotta be a first…

Regrets are all washed away by the power of coffee!

“All hail coffee!!

All hail coffee!!

Anyone miss Steelface?

“All she really wanted was a stooge. I was a victim of soikemstance, nyuk nyuk nyuk!”

Poor Blaze. Well, like Indiana Jones says in Dial of Destiny, it’s not what you believe but how hard you believe it.

Good morning™, sinister Olsens !

That P.3 image of Blaze is most frightening.

I recognized Notta from her story in 1968, under her married name Notta Chin Chillar.

Several days old but we lost another lawman. Will he make it to the Honor Roll ?

Gilyard has gone Graveyard.

This picture is more confusing. Is that a lady with a beard and breasts ?

Yes. Chester Gould, the creator of Dick Tracy, did some very strange things in the strip. Notta is one of his characters.

I looked it up, 4/7/2016 and it has a guy eating “Oaty Ohs” and listening to MacArthur Park , and Disco Inferno on the radio, what am I missing?!

I’m sorry but I’m not able to relate too this orange headed character for some reason ? Honestly this whole series lately has been hard to relate to ?

Speaking of flame-haired freckled former felons, I wonder how Briar Rose is liking WPP life?

I remember the Chin Chillars from the original story line back in the 1960’s. The hid out on Piggy Butcher’s farm, much to their chagrin!

B-B Eyes is back? He was a 1940s villain!

At that time, Chester Gould also had “Flattop,” named for the period nickname for aircraft carriers.

Another 1940s villain was “Brow,” a German agent reporting on convoys going to England. He used a pair of female twins as couriers. One was trapped in a chair with nails pushing into her legs while the other one ran across the city to deliver the message.

Is that the coffee genie in panel 1?

“The Duped Innocent” in her own eyes, but not so squeaky-clean if viewed more critically. Is Lee Ebony buying all Blaze’s self-serving narrative?

And where is this all going to tie in the presumed plot, cel counterfeiting? Will Blaze Rise get involved with Art Dekko somehow?

Why do I feel as if I’m pedaling furiously but on a stationary bike to get ahead in this storyline?
