This strip gets better every day. At the sake of repeating myself, this takes me back to being the first one in the house in the mornings to get the paper so I could read DICK TRACY and so many other strips. Today, I come home from work (11:30 p.m.), and go straight to the computer to pull up the next days strip. DICK TRACY is enjoyable again! THANK YOU TEAM TRACY.
Had a Star Trek episode. When the Enterprise was “shanghaied” to a planet of mechnical beings in which Uhura could be transferred to a body that was estimated to last 100,000 years if she went through the procedure.
A ghola incorporates at least some of the memories of the original. Another possibility could be something like a “Restoree”, from the Anne McCaffrey novel of the same name. A simple android doesn’t work, because we already know there is some DNA matchup. I was leaning to a relative who has been “adjusted”, but that doesn’t fit with the promise to Diet Smith. But then as they say, “The Doctor Lies”.
SAD NEWS ! - Just read on the Dick Tracy Yahoo Board that ANDY FEIGHERY – Has ‘Passed’ On !_
.Out of Colorado Springs he was publisher of Spec’s – Dick Tracy Magazine No 1 (Origin and Big Boy – 1931 to 1977 and Gould’s retirement DTM #58 – - – Which combined with the *Blackthorn** Publications have Gould’s entire run of Gould’s Tracy
.Issues of the Dick Tracy Magazine # 59 to the current issueNo 78. have been doing the Max Collins authored work 0r 1978 to mid February 1986 (Angeltop to her death on her 3rd appearance)
His locationTruly sorry !o see * Andy F* move on. Earlier,encouraged by Shel Dorph he was the source that some 30 years ago started ‘reprinting’ Dick Tracy stories which had thrilled us as kids, stories back then, we thought were ‘lost’ for ever.
Thousands of readers will remain grateful to him
His location was also the Official Home of the Dick Tracy Fan Club
At this point it’s ’ unclear ’ if publication of D.T. Magazines will continue (?)
with several questions answered it has created several more, it just keeps getting better. Have you ever been reading a good book and hate it as it begins to end? To me this story is case in point.
I’m a member of an art studio that creates comix, graphic novels and illustrations. We write ’em, draw ’em, ink ’em and color ’em … we even paint some of ’em. Joe and Mike have saved this wonderful old strip. Bravo!!!!
Don’t trust a word of it, Diet!If he were being straight, Ghote would have told Diet about Sail’s criminal financers, and the threat to his life made by Bardoll’s replacement, Melies.Instead of a quiet chat, it would have been, “Ya gotta save me! Call Dick Tracy – NOW!”Only after he were in police protection would Ghote be willing to talk to Smith – if he were being honest.
So, the possibilities are that she’s an android (but with real hair), a clone who has the personality, memories and probably soul of the person (i.e., like Herbert’s gholas), another Moon person (or human, but that seems unlikely) made up like Moon Maid, or that Moon Maid didn’t quite die in that explosion. I’m leaning toward the last one. Ghote may be brilliant, but he’s also a big fraud and he’s lying to save his own skin.
all thats needed to be wrapped up is…. A) the what moon maid lite really is or isnt story B) The Wheaton/Hy Pressure/Apparatus story C) The Melly Mel/Sail/Ghote story D) The Moon Maid lite zapping Sparkle story E) the Retik and Stellaluna story F) The whether or not any charges are going to be brought up against moon maid lite (i hope there will be!) story G) The connection B.B. Eyes has to The Apparatus story
gee whiz.. can ya think of anything ELSE thats tied up into this long winded tale?
and heck, i aint even tying in the whole Mrs Flattop and her gang of thugs story.
waiting anxiously for the return of bonnie braids since mike had said many months ago in the yahoo group that she’d be back sometime around the fall…we’re getting closer to that time now!
Ghote is just digging himself in deeper. After reading today’s speculative comments, I find it hard to imagine how he could come up with a quasi-scientific explanation of “Moon Maid” that would convince that crusty old Diet Smith or us.

On to Act 3 where, according to Vitamin Flintheart, “…all questions are answered”. You gotta love it!

This sounds similar to that Star Trek episode where duplicates were created of people only those were androids. Just what in world is Ghote up to?
cpalmeresq about 11 years ago
You would think, after everything that’s gone down, that Diet would have alerted Tracy to Ghote’s visit.

A Moon Maid Mark II?
Is that what she is?
A duplicate?
How is that any different from a clone?

Being in two places at once would never be a good idea in reality, as tempting as it sometimes seems.

Thanks for the translation of VTTBOTS. All the acronyms tossed around here sometimes leave me looking for my Little Orphan Annie decoder ring.

Very creative intro yesterday. Let’s hope the next 30 live up to the expectations and we wind up this Odyseus like epic.

Interesting bit of coincidence. The silent film “A Trip to the Moon” by Georges Méliès is showing on TCM tonight…in just a few minutes.
