Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for November 15, 2013

You learn something every day.

Panel 3? Tracy “Stopped Making Sense”

How fun!

Good morning all…

Everything you always wanted to know about Dick Tracy and more! Abner Kadaver can lure him with ‘soothing’ music!

I would have figured some classic 30s movie and music.

I’ve been thinking, if Honeymoon Tracy hits puberty, do you think her Lunarian horns will fully grow and she’ll fully gain Lunarian powers?

For his favorite movie, I’d have said that he’d mentioned a certain detective flick released by Disney in 1990 starring Warren Beatty.;-D

Blade runner is a favourite movie of mine, too. And maybe Tracy’s stated preference will give Kadaver ideas…

Well, his musical tastes are definitely eclectic. I can relate, since mine are eclectic, too, but mine include music from the 30s, 30 years before I was born. I believe him when he rhymes those few off.

I love the Queen, Deep Purple,and Wham!

Haha , this version of Tracy is into Canadian music! (Lightfoot and Zeevon are both Canadians)

I never could make a decent origami unicorn, but I do make a nice winged dragon!

I just downloaded the Excitable Boy album two days ago. lol

Send Lawyers, guns and money, the Dick has hit the fan!

Crazy as it sounds, I can see Tracy liking The Talking Heads. He shares that kind of mindset with David Byrne, sort of an intellectual rock thing. And hey, they are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

As a Gordon Lighfoot fan, I like Tracy’s style.

I can agree with Tracy’s choice of movie; Blade Runner is among my top ten. And I understand and respect his choices in music; although none of those three is actually among my top favorites, all are ones I deem respectable and worthy of listening to from time to time. What is really striking to me, however, is how much Tracy is identifying himself as a creature of the 1980s….

BTW, a really good introduction to Warren Zevon is “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead”, or perhaps the live album “Learning to Flinch”

No Chumbawumba? ;D

His message to all crooks: “Watch out — you might get what you’re after.”

Now I get it…Christmas Early is setting Dick up for the next surprise guest. He didn’t mention his own daughter-in-law! Slight embarrassment on camera!

i betcha he was singing “Burning Down The House” when Angeltop had him gagged and trapped in the underpinings of the replica Santa Maria! lol :)

(yes yes, i know.. that happened BEFORE the song ever came out!)

The retcon continues. Can’t wait to see where this is taking us..

Good Morning, crew!

I’m in total agreement, SDM.

I didn’t think Tracy ever relaxed enough to listen to music.

I guess his fascination with Spike Dyke has ended.

For some reason, I expected Tracy’s musical favorities to include Steely Dan (very cerebral pop/jazz) and Bruce Springstten and his favorite movie to either be Casablanca or It’s a Wonderful Life. Corny, but consistent with his all-American persona.

He could have named Breathless Mahoney as a favorite musician, in reference to the Beatty movie and the 1980s.

I’m assuming that the author is giving us a look into his own cd and dvd collection; for some reason these don’t really seem to “fit” Dick Tracy in my opinion. I’m also a bit surprised at the sort of softball questions being lobbed Tracy’s way.

I’ll bet Abner Kadaver likes “Werewolves of London.”

Not “Men Without Hats.”

“Blade Runner” and music – my favorites as well. I have all “cuts” of the movie and both Vangelis, CD’s. Great Stuff. And “Old Man and the Sea”.

As for why he didn’t mention this or that musical act, he did say that he was naming three that “come to mind.” By no means is it implied that it’s an exhaustive list of all his favourite musical acts.

His favorite comic strip? M & S, naturally….. is there any other?

And what was the readership? Two, maybe?

really matt? you need to give up on this.. youre crossing the line into total annoyance now

matty, you dont REALLY think nobody here knows who you are trying to talk aboput without mentioning his name do ya? isnt it for reasons like this that you got in trouble before?

apparently some people never learn :)

JPuzzleWhiz: Link worked for me. It’s Bob and Doug MacKenzie and “Take Off”!

Oh! I forgot to mention. Two nights ago I dreamed Dick Tracy somehow required Lunarian powers.

“Classic Film Noir Cop Movie in a Futuristic Setting” – Doesn’t that describe the whole Moon-era of “Dick Tracy”? :)

Is there a connection here? Are there Tracy references in these… references?

And maybe the “Bobby Fuller Four”…“I Fought The Law”.;-D

Favourite movie: 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Music: John Williams and Jerry Goldsmith come to mind.
