Last week I did a Saturday Comic that was a bit different in that it had a few strips from the serial comic Dick Tracy. It has those strips from a 2015 plot line with the characters Silver and (barefooter) Sprocket Nitrate.
As I showed last time, the end of that plot line had Sprocket arrested and in the City Jail. She was not happy.
A new plot line with the Nitrates started this year. It picks up where the old one left off. Sprocket and Silver are about to be transported to court for their trial. Guess which one is Sprocket?
But they don’t make it to the trial. Another character named “Public Domain” (yes, the writers of Dick Tracy always have fun with names) decides he wants to spring the Nitrates loose.
The first things Sprocket wants to free herself of are
And we get to witness the reunion of Sprocket and Silver. Feet come first; brother comes second.
Public Domain has sprung them for help in conducting a special scam for him. So there’s more, which we’ll see some other time.
This character is very well written. she could be me, lol.
