Good response from Tracy! (and a nice bit of “angry artwork” to accompany it!) Appropriate response from Chief Patton! Honeymoon’s reaction is proper, too! Very cohesive strip!
Tracy is angry. Honeymoon is angry. (No doubt Mysta is also angry.) Bellowthon thinks Homeymoon is not human, but Honeymoon is closer to the mark saying Bellowthon is not human. Nice bit of irony.
I posted Monday that this reeks of the Marvel Comics Universe to which I was referring to the fictional “Mutant Registration Act” mentioned in both the comic book series and the animatedTV series X-Men (1992-1997) which somewhat relates tothis story arc.
rx71.. im not taking the bait, sorry. As for Bellowthon… everyone is entitled to their opinion.. if she can PROVE her theory then she has every right to express it.
I just hope we get to see those mysterious Lunarians who showed up at Mysta’s gravesite after the Frankenmindy storyline… jeez, that was what, like SIXTEEEN YEARS AGO or so?!?
Tracy at the County lock-up: “Rikki, I’ve got a deal for you.”Rikki: “What’s that, copper?”Tracy: “Take care of a little problem I’ve got and I’ll take you to hunt for Abner. If I survived, so did he. Deal or no deal?”Rikki: (planting a big smooch on Tracy) “Let’s rock!”
It reminds me of the movie “District 9” where there is Apartheid between blacks & whites and also racial apartheid between humans and aliens….and all the politics that goes with it. Racists always claim they are “Not” racist…TBC
One Congressthing’s inhuman and Bellowthon becomes another Lunarian’s inhuman. Ironic, yes, but, oh, the humanity! I am perversely amused by Morrow’sfaux Spoiler Alert: it would be shamefully satisfying!But in fact I see no clear indication in today’s strip of anything to come. It all remains highly ambiguous to me at this point….
Bellowthon’s bellowing is racism, pure and simple. If a Terran and a Lunarian, like Junior Tracy and the original Mysta, can produce a sharp, charming, and good citizen like Honeymoon, I say go for it. I hate to break it to all the “racial purists” out there, but we, as humanity, are meant to blend.

I foresee Honeymoon and Mysta having to save Bellowthon by the end of the story.

Genetically lunar blood strain would drain out in about 6 generations. They are in fact an endangered species.

Bellowthon, you made Tracy ruin his favorite coffee mug. Clam up, and back away from the camera… slowly…

No, :Rep. Bellowthon is not inhuman, she’s something much worse: a politician with a cause! Sort of like Trump’s fixation on Muslims and Mexicans.

I had to go read up on “Son of Spike” (Spike Jr.) in the Dick Tracy wikia. I guess I’ll read the strips in the archives when I get a chance…

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!
Tomorrow’s strip just leaked out:
Tracy at the County lock-up: “Rikki, I’ve got a deal for you.”Rikki: “What’s that, copper?”Tracy: “Take care of a little problem I’ve got and I’ll take you to hunt for Abner. If I survived, so did he. Deal or no deal?”Rikki: (planting a big smooch on Tracy) “Let’s rock!”

I wonder what the details of this plan will be…
Deportation?
Imprisonment?
Deadly robots programmed to identify the lunar gene and exterminate it?

“That woman is inhuman!”She DOES bear a STRONG resemblance to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s disguise to get to Mars in “Total Recall.” Just sayin’ . . . . .

Usually, I steer well clear of politics, but when accusations start flying around, I’d advocate that one ‘Show Their Work’ and cite multiple sources.
Otherwise, it’s hearsay … or partisan wankery.
