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.
Tracy barely heard What the chief wanted to sayHis mind and heart were adriftAnd far, far awayTo hear the news this morningHow Jose was lost at seaTo be followed by an armyWhoâs general Arnie misplaced his teeWhat was that she saidThat a witch hunt had begunWith a code name 6947Sponsored by that BellowthonTracy knew it meant great troubleTo the ones he loved so dearBetter brace himself to battleAll her prejudicial fear.
A thought came to me last night. If Abner is somehow still alive. I donât think he will take too kindly to how Bribery treated Rikki. In a future story arc we may see a confrontation between those two. That would be verrrry interesting! :-)
I hope she remembers that both of them are American citizens. Mysta is natural born. Honeymoon? Thatâs a good question. I say she is, but I see that there could be room for discussion.
Rep. Bellowthon is apparently going to make Mysta and Honeymoon into illegal aliens, or something of that nature. Tracy cannot be on her security detail. He has a clear conflict of interest with her.
A âvesselâ at sea (or by extension in any international zone such as in space) is legally under the jurisdiction of itâs country of registry or origin. So if Honeymoon was born on the Space Coup (youâll have to tell me that), it would seem sheâs natural born. In any case, she would be a US citizen by birth since her father was and is American.
Mind you, citizenship has not always stopped a fearful government, thinking of the Japanese internments as featured in this strip in the past.
Donât worry too much Tracy, this is pretty much another Do Nothing Congress. Any proposed bill would have to be approved by both the House and Senate and then signed into Law by the President.
Egad. Iâm interested to see how this bigotry is dealt with. Iâm sad to see this in the strip, but it happens in life. Hopefully we get a happy ending here.
Sadly, bigotry against the âOtherâ is a familiar tale. Bellowthon wants to codify her ignorant views. Tracy is not pleased. Good closing lines, ave09.
Bizarrely, last nightâs episode of âThe Simpsonsâ involved Lenny & Carl using super soakers filled with lemonade & iced tea to fire ARNOLD PALMERS into Homerâs mouth.
Wonder if Mikeâs been watching reruns of âStar Trek: The Next Generationâ lately, as this storyline might potentially cover much of the same ground as the season two episode âThe Measure of a Man.â
Yesterday I expressed my hope that this had the makings of a traditional Dick Tracy detective story, with the introduction of a quirky new character who seems to be up to no good. Now I find that it is more moon nonsense. (I know Iâm in the minority on this point) (Sigh) Maybe it will be some of both.
Mystaâs legal status in particular is unique, as sheâs technically an augmented or enhanced human whose DNA has been âoverwrittenâ through medical means.
Mysta is NOT a Lunarian. Sheâs a human being that has been modified. Honeymoon on the other hand is half human and was born in the United States, making her a natural born citizen, just like all the children born of illegal immigrants. The only full-blooded Lunarian was the original Mysta and sheâs dead.
Thatâs certainly a surprise twist!Iâm sure she can make Mysta and Honeymoon into terrorists in no time at all.After all, they have strange powers, and they can use telepathy to summon more Lunarians out of hiding to take over AmericaâŚOh yeah. Bellowthon may even become president.
Chief Patton really should reconsider his assignment of Tracy to Congressthing Blowhardâs security detail. There is a conflict of interest with her signature piece of proposed legislation, H.B. 6947. Tracy was certainly taken aback by the TV interviewâŚ.I wonder how Selfy fits into this story-mix?

The only full-blooded Lunarian was the original Mysta and sheâs dead.-True, one is turning into a Homo Selenite, the other is a hybrid. And they can simply go be species but that would leave out the one who was born in the USA and should technically be one even with her genome shifting. However courts are run by people who have little to none about science of any sort. Are they right to make such decisions?-And anyway it is the other Selenites who are on Earth secretly who they will find out and have to deal with. Just consider them emigres.

I thought Bellowthon bore a distinct resemblance to a current Presidential candidate, and I donât mean the woman candidate.

Are Mike and Joe making a political statement by making Bellowtrump look like a fat pig on wheels?
I hope not.

Maybe Tracy can get a movement started to outlaw all-you-can-eat buffets. Thatâll do her in.

âBellowthonâ might be a double pun, itâs also close to âBellerophon,â which was Morbiusâ colony ship from FORBIDDEN PLANET.

That really shouldnât have any direct bearing on her status as a U.S. citizen.

â6947â is also the number of the American Airlines flight from Santa Ana to Seattle.
