Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
It may skip around some, but itâs hardly boring. And the current writers never said they were trying to imitate Gould down to the letter. Chester himself was always innovative and doing new stuff ( Moon Maid, etc) so if he were alive today whoâs to say he wouldnât be writing the strip just like Mike and Joe are now, with guests from other strips?
Itâs more than just guests from other strips now, the Orphan Annie regulars have taken over this story. Tracy hasnât been seen much lately and has had no impact on the story for even longer. This is the weakest âDick Tracy" story that Staton and Curtis have come up with by far. Could someone please notify me when it is over so I can skip it until then and then check back in to see if Staton and Curtis can get the strip back on track?
The Butcher looks like he has a Bowie knife. Punjabâs weapon looks to be a scimitar. Asp IS a weapon in himself.
Paulo better get away while the gettinâ is good â he has no idea what these two newcomers want with him or the Butcher or both of them, but it all doesnât look good.
I donât know which Brow story the writer is referring to, but it was fairly straightforward, and the Blank was a bit of a murder mystery, neither were as disjointed as the present arc.
Sometimes Gould would go for weeks without showing Tracy as he concentrated on the villainâs part of the storyâŚits nothing unusual at allâŚcheck out parts of the flattop storyline or Mr. Bribery, Piggy ButcherâŚthe list goes onâŚ
I used to know this guy from the block where I lived. He was always making a fool of himself. I think his name was Oinky Bacon. A real slob! Wonder whatever happened to him?

Good morning fellow DT and Annie fans!
If I was the butcher, Iâd take off. Punjab and the Asp are no match for his knife.

This strip just skips too much all over the place now. Nothing makes sense. Oh for the days of GouldâŚ..

Asp looks like he should be sitting at a poker table with Bret Maverick.

Never bring a knife to a scimitar fight.
Sisyphos over 10 years ago
The Butcherâs chintzy little survival knife is not nearly a match for Punjabâs heavy scimitar. But were I he, Iâd more fear the AspâŚ.

Good morning fans. The Asp and Punjab to the rescue!

I think Punjab and the Asp have just cancelled those travel plans!(Hope we get to see these two in action tomorrow!)

Somehow, i seriously doubt the Butcher will âcome along quietlyââŚ.i see a âmussing upâ coming fairly quicklyâŚ.

I think Punjabâs scimitar trumps Henrikâs wimpy knife!

I wondered how long it would be before we got a âYI!â from someone in this storyline.

Silly Henrik, bringing a knife to a giant freakinâ scimitar fight.

Anyone else flashing back to Sugar Daddy Bigbucks and the Wasp? âYi!â indeed!

Punjab is most likely wielding a scimitar, although it could be a type of falchion sword:Falchion
