Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
A classic Gould villain gone for good. How many does this make now for our DT team? (Flyface & the Fifth come to mind due to a Curtis & Staton story, plus many āoff-screenā like Thistle Dew & Wormy).
If they keep xāing out the villains this way thereās not going to be many left. Even with the ones they resurrect. I do hope their as good at inventing new ones as they are at eliminating old ones.
Quite a memorable story from Team Tracy. After the light-hearted Phishface tale, a gritty, violent revenge story in which Measles meets his inevitible end.Well done.
And many of the above new villains are still alive and stalking! I do believe we will see them, againā¦ Oh Willy and Tarry I gotta ask, by the way, which oneās Pink?
I found a treasure at a local college Iām taking a class at. A full collection of graphic novels featuring Dick Tracy. Still working my way through them. <3 <3 <3
Remove it, but not kick it. You have no control of the muzzle if you kick it away, and criminals are not known for proper weapon maintenance, and kicking the weapon could cause a unwanted discharge.
Richard would secure and clear the gun, while Sam covers him. The fire can wait until the gun is secured, and Measeles is cuffed. He may be dead, and then again, he may not.
Donāt forget to add the adult Themesong to the list of past characters brought back!
Just a guess here that the pain patches worked? Chewing on them caused them to release their medication at once. Problem: While it relieves pain quickly, it also overwhelms the body and the dose that cures and the dose that kills is close to the same if you do that.
Whatās Sam doing carrying a fire extinguisher out there instead of a Sig Sauer? Oh well! Might as well put it to good use, Sam. Follow the three easy steps: (1) insert nozzle (2) pull trigger (3) tie string onto foot and take your new Measles balloon to Fritz Ann for Show ān Tell.
Now I see Sam has the fire extinguisher in the first panel also. Itās also in the November 5 strip at Gravel Gertieās. Cleverly planned this strip is.
Good Morning Detectives, Combat Medics, Social Workers and Detox Clinic Orderlies!Somehow doubting that Measles is playing possum. But at least heās not feeling any pain anymore. So whoāll be the next druggie villain in the future? Chicken pox? Mumps?
So true that the new team has brought about some fine new villains. I canāt wait to see them bring out their first new protagonists! I doubt they could ever top the Plenty family though :)
I agree, approach with caution. Unlike in the house when Tracy was trying to put out the fire on Measles while the latter was still holding his gun. 8-)
Wormy was reported dead, along with Thistle Dew, back on 3/19/11, one of the new teamās first strips. :).@cpalmeresq Yep! For those who are interested: Dick Tracy characters that the new team has resurrected
Why is it that most days, people nit-pick the story and artwork to pieces. Today, the atmosphere is cordial, Congrats, guys! Is it because of female supervision?
once again, disappointment reigns for me. possibly one of the MOST misunderstood tracy rogues goes off itno that long goodnight with not a bang, but a whimper. with luck he wont be dead merely in a drug induced coma, but i vaguely recall mike saying something MONTHS ago about a āgrim, dark story around halloweenā so i am laying odds that my ultimate all-time favorite tracy villain is no longer of this world rest in peace measles, hopefully youāll find the comfort in death that eluded you so in life. sigh if i were one for tattoos, iw ould more thanlikely get a shot measlesā face put on my arm somewhere, alas, such is not the case. i will have to suffice with the internet printouts and printouts of the recent tracy strips here to remind me of measles enog.
The Dead Body That Claims It Isnāt: Iām not dead. The Dead Collector: What? Large Man with Dead Body: Nothing. Thereās your ninepence. The Dead Body That Claims It Isnāt: Iām not dead. The Dead Collector: āEre, he says heās not dead. Large Man with Dead Body: Yes he is. The Dead Body That Claims It Isnāt: Iām not. The Dead Collector: He isnāt. Large Man with Dead Body: Well, he will be soon, heās very ill. The Dead Body That Claims It Isnāt: Iām getting better. Large Man with Dead Body: No youāre not, youāll be stone dead in a moment. The Dead Collector: Well, I canāt take him like that. Itās against regulations.
Iām thinking tomorrow will save Measleās life somehow or other. Iām not like tsull, though. Measels didnāt arouse my interest like MM does. Maybe Team Tracy will feature MM working incognito in one of those places where she swings around a brass pole.
Iām impressed on how Team Tracy picks up ona plot thread from 60 years ago and brings it back to life and puts their spin on it. Gould probably thought of Measles as a one-shot, but in Team Tracyās hands, they have provided us a very satisfying sequel. And if Measles is gone, so what? As far as baddies go, like Gould said āI just create more.ā

No more pain for Measles.

MDStudio ā Still have your list going?
DayDay2001 over 12 years ago
New bad guys or old bad guys, Team Tracy has done a great job with both. Not worried a bit.Adios, Measles.

Measles has become comfortably numb.

Assuming this IS the end for Measles, itās certainly been an entertaining story.

Is it not procedure to kick the gun out of his hand in case he does revive?
Sisyphos over 12 years ago
Measles took himself out by his vices and excesses. unrepentant to the end. This world shall not miss him much, if at all.

Iām thinking he might pop up with one last gasp and get off a few rounds.
coratelli over 12 years ago
Is dead?
johnrussco over 12 years ago
Go-ahead DT put a slug in him anyway. Please?

ā¦is there a character called āmumpsāā¦.I guess there are a lot of medical terms they dare not use

And now I want Moon Maid.

Itās a TRAP!Note hand on gun ready to fire.
DrSid1 over 12 years ago
Measlesā position reminds me of Prunefaceās when he was caught by Tracy, nearly frozen to deathā¦
trimguy over 12 years ago
Donāt worry: Measles may be gone, but maybe weāll hear from his German cousin Rubella ;)

FFosdick over 12 years ago
Yeah, despite the conflagration pain inflicted on Measles, he certainly held on to that gun!
Jelfring Premium Member over 12 years ago
Where did Tracy get the fire extinguisher? In his pocket?
William Bednar Premium Member over 12 years ago
I think Moon Maid was just a Red Herring!

tconstantine900 over 12 years ago
Iām hoping newspaper accounts of Wormyās off-screen demise are woefully inaccurate. Too good a villain to die that way.

strickmaedel over 12 years ago
I dunno. The patches couldāve killed him, but Iām looking at his left hand supporting his right forearm, and Iām wondering . . .
kcredden over 12 years ago
So true that the new team has brought about some fine new villains. I canāt wait to see them bring out their first new protagonists! I doubt they could ever top the Plenty family though :)

Wasnāt Wormyās bullet-riddled bodyācovered w/. a sheet,decidedly deceased?? Howād be re-animate to perish again w/. Thistle Dew??
Stagger Lee over 12 years ago
Tracy only said āI THINK Measles has checked outā. Letās not get ahead of ourselves.

Iāve been told that postmortem twitching is quite common, but only while the body is still warm.-Anyone know if this is true?

Probably ā but he may be using the old Indian trick ā fall off horse pretending to be shot, and later attacking at an opportune time.
