Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 08, 2015

OH, OH!!! Nah Tay’s brother is finally here? BAD timing for Bribery (and probably for his head, too)!

Is this the “Important New Character” Mike had hinted at …?

If only it could be the Moon Governor …

Good morning guys!.Is that Nah Tay? Could be Punjab!

Who piloted Mysta’s copter?

Is that a door …

… or something else?

Love the dazed look on Bribery’s face! Meanwhile, Honeymoon’s still learning how to power down — ouch! And don’t look now, Bribery, but I don’t think that’s Nah Tey!

Mini Moon Maid gave you a Maxi jolt, Mr. Bribery. I love this story!

Have a sip, Bribery.

If it is Nay Tay how did he get passed the police? Is he that good in stealth and “clouding the mind” ?____________________

Or has he/she been there all along?

There’s something very “Twin Peaks” about this sudden materialization …

Which would be worse for Bribery: Punjab (and the villain disappearing forever) or Nah Tay’s brother (and Bribery’s shrunken head showing up in a few weeks in a glass case)? Not much difference between the fates, I suppose…

….don’t think the bribes are gonna cut it for him here..

Kind of looks like Bribery’s hair got a little singed!

Absolutely think it’s Mr. Am.

At first I thought the tall, shadowy figure in the doorway must be Punjab, almost always on hand to protect the Little Princess in times of danger. But observers are correct that the figure doesn’t seem to have his proportions. Mr. Am is certainly possible, though, IMO, less motivated to show up at this point. Whoever it turns out to be, this is not auspicious for the already dazed and frazzled Mr. Bigg….

Morning, Tracy Fans!

The posture, with hands on the hips, indicates power, and imminent danger, so I don’t think it’s Nah-Tay. The lack of a turban precludes it being Punjab. So it must be Am.

Bribery crawls away from the “Mini Moon Maid,” a little worse for the experience. Honeymoon pays a price for her helping hands. Ow! Great face on Bribery and a mystery in the doorway.

Nope! It’s just Dick Tracy!

HOW NOW BROWN COW ? . . .

Who is the new figure entering the room ?

Many are asking . . .How did HE get there ? From below seems impossible. The floor had been “locked off” by Bribery, and if it’s someone new, they’d need to pass through the Police ranks and then - the Munro brothers unquestioned (?)From above, it IS possible, but Mystra Chimera stands in the way ?

Guess, we have yet another puzzle on our hands ! ?

Maybe Ken in Ohio can tell us ? Is the Riddler from Batman already here ? ;-)

It’s Mr. Am.

looks like rip haywire crossover to me

Well, that was a great ending. Although Honey’s going to be sore for a few days. As for who is appearing, it’s interesting. I suspect it’s one of Anne’s friends too.

The moon governor would be an excellent choice We’ve long suspected they was on Earth since the first appearance of Mysta.

Still, Mr. Bribery isn’t so “cocky” (sorry) as he once was, hm?

Love Panel 2. I’d like to see Suite 6B. If that is 6B’s door, I want to see the inside. :)

Wow, with all these great guesses (Punjab, Mr. Am, the late Nah Tay’s brother), let me add that the first person I thought of was Abner Kadaver. However, due to the height of the person compared to the door, I’m going to change my guess to Punjab.

Might be “Lee-Bolt,” returning to retrieve Annie, honeymoon and Diet to take them to safety.-————————————-I don’t think so, T-Bolt’s boots have a high heel.

Could that figure be standing in the doorway of 6B?Is he part of Mr. Bribery’s escape, or there to prevent it?-This is the best story Mike and Joe have given us so far!

With those “high water” britches, I’m thinking it is Punjab. Looking at his head, it could very well be a part of a turban showing.

What are we in for now???

Hmmm . . . Punjab does wear pantaloons tucked in at the ankles like that, and slipper-type shoes. In the very first Mr. Am story, he appeared in a sort of jungle/Arabian suit, and Annie expressed dismay about how he would fit in when they entered a big city, but Mr. Am changed into a spiffy tuxedo and top hat, and the point was made that he always dresses to fit into whatever society he is visiting. We cannot actually see if this person is wearing a turban or not. My best guess: Punjab. But then again, are they really bringing in more characters from Annie’s world to this story? Hmmm.

Hmm, I lean toward Punjab, too. He’s tall, and the tucked in pantaloons seem like a dead giveaway. It would make sense for him to show up now if he sensed Annie was in danger. Maybe he has a way of hearing Honeymoon’s transmissions?Fun strip with Honeymoon’s hands on fire and that look on Bribery’s face!

It’s Punjab!Anything can happen in this awful comic strip!

That could be Punjab, in my opinion. Anyway, Mr. Bribery (Or Mr. Bigg) looks full of relief after Honey Moon gave the Smack Down on Bribery. I hope Bribery won’t be killed off for good by this “shadowy man”. I am glad Mr. Bribery is back after all these years. I want to see Dick Tracy and his gang knock him around in the years to come!

He could be Nah Tay’s brother that’s why Mr Bigg mistook him for Nah Tay.

If I had to guess between Mr. Am and Punjab, I’m going with Punjab. Whoever it is, is very tall!

I’m thinking it’s Punjab based on the height and the feet look to be barefoot

Both Mr. Am and Punjab are very tall. Here is how I read the figure, very zoomed in:

If I understand right, Punjab can make people just “disappear” to parts unknown. Maybe he can materialize without going through a doorway. Mr. Am is very mysterious but I’m not sure if he can just appear out of nowhere. Abner Kadaver seems to be able to, but there would be a lot more smoke. I think that the keyword with Abner is “seems.”

Am’s collections do not seem to be in danger, but Annie has been. That makes it more likely for Punjab to appear than Am, in my opinion.

I think he’s facing us with his feet turned at least partially outwards. It’s a fairly comfortable stance for most people and fairly stable. Try it and I think you’ll see.

I mean that his feet are probably half-way between pointing straight ahead and turned completely sideways. Either one of those is a little unsteady.

When I first saw that figure I thought “Punjab”. I don’t know how he got there but I hope he doesn’t make Bribery disappear forever. Would seem too obvious to be Nah Tay’s brother so it could very well be him to fool us. I doubt it’s Mr. Am. For his size it might appear to be Bardoll but we know he’s dead. Also looks the size of Haku Kou, the Hawaiian cop but that wouldn’t be logical. We’ll find out soon. Maybe?

It looks almost all the way turned out.

He has big feet. Even turned, with foreshortening, they look pretty big.

Hello, hello can anybody hear me?Hello, hello do my attenna work?Hello, hello are my signals strong and mighty?Hello, hello does more than Spock hear Kirk? Is this the lame and weak endingTo a story that seemed to last a whole yearWith all the blood and guns shootingYou’d think we’d show a little more fearIs that Honeymoon blushing like a babyAt Punjab’s amazing healing touchWhile Annie’s just thrilled to be unitedWith a member of her old comic strip bunch.

Someone let me know if Joe and Mike like it! LOL!
