    Legs pulled together but hands spread wide, 

    Mysta sees her friends and is surprised. 

    “What brings you boys to my new chill room? 

    Cuz I’m thinkin’ it’s not for a little boom boom.” 

    But Tracy is the one who has the query, 

    “Why’s the room so cold?” he asks the little blonde fairy. 

    “I’m just chillin’, Tracy, if you really must know, 

    Set the room at 30 cuz I wanted it low.” 

    “Why is that?” says Tracy, with an ominious glance. 

    “I think you know why, I just want to dance!”

    Joe’s been paying homage to some of the poses Gould used to occasionally employ.

    As I’d mentioned late yesterday, Aaron Weber has updated his blog, though it’s really sort of a non-update …

    Gweedo – It’s legal here !!! – Murray GoComics PRO Member [for now] said, 1 day ago

    Now if only any of us ran a website and could work a deal to display comics…

    I researched this idea several days ago and it looks like it would be mega-expensive to carry out such a deal. TMS don’t give out numbers. You have to ask and tell them how many people are viewing your site. King Features do give out numbers. Something like up to 3 strips (I guess that means like three days of Beetle Bailey, etc.) is about $200-and-somthing a year if your audience is smaller than 500. Some kind of figures like that.

    They would have been prepared with a sip from BO’s still

    Where is BO when you need him?

    There’s a place I sometimes go

    Brisk air filled with dancing snow

    Eases cares and lifts sorrow

    In my chilling room.

    Visitors are just and right

    Against crime they always fight

    Criminals tend to take flight

    When these Detectives loom.

    Mysta’s real sweet when she’s feeling good. But don’t make her angry.You wouldn’t like her when she’s angry!

    Evil deeds always come hone to roost

    Mindy’s temper gets quite the boost

    Rage and anger, they ebb and they flow

    Then both fade away, in the room full of snow

    The big question Tracy’s yet to ask

    Could the calm before them be just a mask

    He knows how as Mindy she used to be

    But the apple always lays at the trunk of the tree

    Best to nip the issue right in the bud

    Before Wendy Wichell’s publicity flood

    And what of poor honeymoon, so dismayed and so young

    Away from her heritage, her ‘earthly-ness’ flung

    To wrap up this mystery Tracy must dig

    Apprehend Selfy, forget Mr Bigg

    Beginning with yesterday’s first showing of Mysta’s “chill room,” I can only say that this is a reminder of how much I miss the original Moon Maid – and how much I (and others) wanted Mysta to have been the original, as well. Of course, we know that she isn’t. And while I, personally, don’t buy that Lunar DNA totally wiping out the consciousness and existence of criminal Mindy Ermine, nevertheless, that is the “reality” that we have been dealt for the time being.

    A secret wish of mine is that, someday, as long as Lunarians are to remain a prominent feature of this incarnation of Dick Tracy, is that maybe the original Moon Maid really did survive, after all. At some point, perhaps with Mindy’s consciousness meddling with Mysta’s DNA, that the new Moon Maid will create a mess so bad that the original Mysta will have to return to straighten it out.

    Mindy was always second best

    lagging behind all the rest

    Never content with her natural looks

    She desperately searched through self help books

    Hoping to find true happiness

    Mindy thought surgery would bring her some bliss

    But all it accomplished was a personality flip

    Is this the end or just the icebergs tip.

    .

    2nd one’s a freebie!

    LOL!

    Tracy and Sam have the usual vapor coming from their mouths, that one would expect in 30 degree temps. And Diet is (stupidly) stinking up the room with his cigar. But Mysta has no cold breath vapor. Is her breath not warm enough to cause the vapor?

    I love these scenes. Seeing Mysta and learning about her ongoing changes into a lunar woman never fail to get me emotionally revved up. Mysta is so expressive with her hands and facial expressions, and I like the ominous sideways glance Tracy gives her, too.

    @ our resident poets

    Images and graphics have

    been banished from this board.

    The odds are very slim that

    these will ever be restored.

    Be thankful for our poets

    who provide a cheerful chord

    and make this board worth reading.

    They deserve a big reward.

    I love everything about the moon story. I wish it didn’t always take so long to get back to it.

    I hope Mysta’s imprudent words in panel 3 do not lead Tracy to consider her a suspect in the probable homicide of Representative Bellowthon. Unfortunately, she may not know what Tracy views as the “why” of it….

    Mysta is a sweetheart and a powerhouse. I can’t imagine she had anything to do with Bellowthon’s death. Hopefully Tracy and Sam will come to the same conclusion before their conversation with Mysta is over.

    Lots of talented and passionate fans here! I hope gocomics fixes the mess they’ve created and restores the ability to post images and use html commands.

    I’d just suggested over on the Luann boards – in response to someone who didn’t enjoy scrolling past embedded pictures – that surely GoComics could have introduced a button to disable images rather than denying images to all.
