Another Tuesday, more soaps

Dick Tracy, 10/8/24

New Dick Tracy story, everybody! It's with a guest writer and guest artist but in keeping withe vibe of present-day Dick Tracy, it's name-checking a beloved villain from the past, who despite being named "Arson" was a guy who used nitroglycerine to blow up safes. Anyway, I like the final panel, where Sam Catchem is grotesquely leering over Jay Scarborough's corpse. I'm assuming we can't see most of the vic's face because it's been hamburgerized by one to several bullets, and Sam is contemplating the limits of facial recognition AI.
