Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for July 23, 2010

Liz looks like shes in the wild wild west.

Wait…

What?

The new story arc is beginning already!?

I can’t believe it!

I am glad though, that the chief appreciates the importance of Tracy getting as much rest and relaxation as he possibly can.

What with him being so tirelessly devoted to his job and all.

I thought he went to the circus to relax?

Liz says that all is quiet… but the newspaper differs…

Also:

It appears the newspapers know about the disappearance of the tycoon, but the police do not.

Hopefully they will read the paper soon, and then Dick can stand around, run, hide, and cower in fear for a couple of months, until the case solves itself.

No rest for the weary.

Is Liz propositioning Dick?

THE GREAT MENTO PREDICTS: The newspaper headline foreshadows a situation which will unfold slowly and inexplicably for weeks. Tracy will stand around and say the same thing many times, but not actually do much except have a gun pointed at him. A villain will do something. Tracy will do nothing. Something surprising will happen to the villain. Someone will explain the villain’s motivations.

Then, more foreshadowing of ANOTHER EXCITING ADVENTURE.

You took the surprise out of the new story, jumbobrain!

OK, so the bum is the tycoon. Now, can we move onto a more interesting story line?

Is Liz propositioning Dick? ————————————————

It sure seems that way.

OMG, I think you’ve called it! Too bad it will take Tracy three months to arrive at the same conclusion.

leaky I thought Liz looked more like a mummy. old tracy I agree with you.

When was the last time DT actually was involved with a case when he wasn’t trying to relax?

This time he was in a play. Last time he went to a concert. The time before was the circus? Previously helping relatives. Was it the story with the robots that he’s trying to recover from?

SAME OL, same ol….

Why does every story have to start out with Tracy needing a rest!!!

Ye Gods…it’s maddening!

the maddening part is that the police get their information about recent crimes through the morning papers while they hang around and chit-chat

Seems that way, donaldo. The only thing missing from panel 1 is a huge platter of donuts.

Wonder if it’s Diet Smith?

I’m pretty sure Liz(z) isn’t the type to proposition Dick. If you know what I mean.

barticle35, I guess you have an EYE on that ‘ready for action’ frontal zip ?

I am a bit surprised that no one pulled the mask off of The Blank so we could see what he looked like…

RECENT SHOTS of RELAXATION !

… and - TODAY’S STRIP.

Can you say CAMELTOE?

Which “Tycoon & Entrepreneur” is missing, though? Ha! We’re not telling you browsers who merely peek at our three-paper stack! Buy a copy!

This is the end of the line for Dick Tracy and me. I agree with all the postings here that say there is no continuity in the artwork, the plots are lame, and Dick Tracy actually does nothing to solve crimes. I was just waiting for the Science Museum story arc to end. I’ve had it with this strip. I’ll still be reading other GoComics strips and leaving the occassional posts elsewhere, but I am taking Dick tracy off my list as soon as I post this message.

Why do newspaper headlines always talk about “City Tycoon” and “Country Tycoon”? Why don’t they identify them by name, or just say “Tycoon”? They always say “City Tycoon” … I can’t understand why they always do that…. Oh wait. They don’t.

PHANTASMAGORIA IS VERISIMILITUDE

are two people missing, or one?

This is what, the fourth story in a row in which Tracy, while seeking R&R, stumbles into a major crime situation? What does this tell us?

Nurpleburg is apparently crawling with crime, if three consecutive outings (the circus, the symphony, and the museum) all lead to murder.

Nurpleburg apparently has no functioning police department, as they are consistently unaware of the crimes until Tracy stumbles into them.

Tells me I’m glad I don’t live in Nurpleburg!

Why is the lower part of Liz’s body backwards?

The homeless person has appeared twice.He/she will undoubtedly be involved in the next story,probably chasing DT around Jimmy Hale Mission. Or maybe the homeless person is actually the missing tycoon-Yeah,I’ll go with that.

Isn’t this what DT is about not vacations or relaxing just solving crimes.

Liz looks kind of Butch today, but still attractive.

How long before we see the bum peeing on the wall?

Why does Tracy need time for rest and relaxation? He’s already had time enough to heal from his injuries.

Maybe that bum is the actor who got shot on stage. Everybody forgot about him. Nobody even cares whether he’s dead or alive. What’s an actor whom everyone has forgotten? A bum.

-Cougar :{)

Maybe Macy ought to take Liz(z) - or is it Lez? - up on her suggestion. I bet she can cuff him in a second and bring out the leather whip. R & R.

tycoon or someone they care about will be shot dead or someone will be shot dead hands will be drawn strangely town still struggling with time space continuum issues
