Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for October 19, 2017

Moon Governor Confirmed.

Sounds to me like he is not aware of the stowaway stooges on that other Coupe.

Good morning, Vista spaceman Bill and all the rest of the off world travelers here today !

Yup, Anyface. Sigh – I was so hoping it would be Diet Smith!

And with the Nitrates still on the loose, that ought to reflect on Dick Tracy’s effectiveness!

Maybe we’ll discover the fate of that Space Coupe that on last check was on a one-way suicide run to the Great Red Spot on Jupiter……

Sorry to say, Governor, the fleet is kaput. But glad to know your Coupes are still in operation!

I wonder how many years of “Tracy-Time” have passed since diplomatic ties to the moon were severed.

I never liked the idea of Killing Moonmaid. I never liked the trashing of the space fleet either.

This was Diet’s final comment about Project Blue Image (his time machine project) from the 11/6/2014 strip: “Of all the images we received, the last was most telling. It was of this building [at Diet’s HQ], all gone but for some rubble atop its cornerstone, while aircraft filled the sky overhead.” I’ve long wondered if this was a foreshadowing that Moon Governor will one day use his Space Coupes to level Diet’s HQ. http://www.gocomics.com/dicktracy/2014/11/6

Looks like the moon governor did not stray too far from the polar ice caps all these years.

If he did not know about the changes in scenery, he probably passed over the ocean when he jetted (or space couped) to the arctic from the antarctic to avoid being seen by people.

If the moon governor just stayed in the polar ice caps all these years, where did he get his cigars? He either brought a lot with him when they holed up in the antarctic or they plundered tobacco fields and rolled his own cigar. :)

Yes, Naperville I’ve heard have gotten bigger.

Good morning guys!

It is the Moon Governor!

There must be a really efficient air exhaust system on that “vehicle”.

Time to pay a call on the guy who got me hooked on stogies. ( And curse Sir Walter Raleigh, you were such a stupid git… )

On days with many replies, I miss Neil’s script that automatically shows them.

The Moon Governor smokes? I don’t remember him doing that.

So happy to see the Moon governor again. And flying in a space coupe? Pinch me! Reviving the space stories has done a lot to revive my interest in Dick Tracy.

SJSCzurek: LOVE your avatar! Smokey Stover is one character I’d love to see return to the funny pages! Notary Sojac and 1406 Nix Nix!

Is he bringing giant escargot?

Moon Gov has apparently stashed himself a supply of Terran cigars, but otherwise his intel about Earth and Tracyville is surprisingly lacking. It would appear that he had become completely disinterested until the recent detection of the use of Moon Powers by someone….

What’s going to occur when the moon governor discovers Mysta Chimera?

I guess the moon governor’s high-tech space-age equipment didn’t include a radio, TV, or internet…

Tick … Tick … Tick …

Here we go again……

What’s scary is, even though the 10/19 strip keeps loading when I refresh, for a split second my brain still reads it as a new installment.
