Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for October 23, 2018

Good morning™, chroniclers!

More than one thing seems to have happened on tour. It looks to me like we can expect a new strip character soon.

Oh, my!

If only Vista Bill had seen this.

Which reminds me: Good Morning, expecting parents!

What’s that old saying? “Just because there is snow on the roof. Doesn’t mean there is no fire in the furnace!” ;-)

Now, if we could just pick a name which combined “Candy” and “Vitamin” …

Good morning™, baby bumpers !

She “caught” something alright !

……an elderly man went to the doctor, said…..“I’m feeling great; in fact, my gf just announced she’s PREGNANT…..what do you think about THAT?”Doctor answers…..“well, last week I was walking on a trail, and came upon a grizzly bear. I pointed my finger at him, said bang, and he dropped dead….what do you think about THAT?”“That’s impossible”, replied the old man, “someone else must have shot that bear”.“That’s kind of what I was getting at” replied the doctor.

To quote another fictional character “Zowey!”

My word wrap workaround that I posted yesterday didn’t work, partly because the message system changes all the straight quotation marks to curly quotes. If the problem is still around 12 hours from now, I’ll put up my workaround in a bookmark.

A white haired man came to a doctor for his first physical with that doctor. With the white hair, the doctor guessed he was in his 50s, though he had no wrinkles. The doctor looked at the results and was amazed at the results. His health was in such great shape that if not for the white hair, the doctor would’ve guessed he was much younger.

“I must say, you’re in great shape for a man in his,um…50s?”

“I’m not in my 50s, I’m 95 years old.”

“Wow! You’re 95 years old?! How old was your father when he died?”

“He didn’t die. He’s still alive.”

“Wow! You’re 95 years old and your father’s still alive?! How old is he?”

“120.”

“Wow! You’re father’s still alive at 120?! What’s his physical condition like?”

“Well, he’s getting married next week.”

“Wow! You’re father’s 120 and getting married next week?! How old’s the bride?”

“16.”

“Wait a minute. Why would a 120 year old want to marry a 16 year old.”

“Who said he wants to?”

“VITAMIN + KANDI = KANDAMIN”

Vitamin Flintheart when he drinks his orange Pepsi he becomes Tiger Flintheart and romances the ladies to pregnancy.

Candy’s pregnant! lol Somebody’s a ‘’dirty old man!’’ lol

O. M. G.

Betting she’s taking a break from motorcycling these days.

When did they get married???

Shame on team Tracy promoting unwed pregnancies!

All the young girls (under 60 for this strip) reading the strip might be influenced!

another great mystery for Dick Tracy

Guy of around 80 runs into some friends and announces that he’s getting married to a 30 year old woman. The other guys congratulate him but remind him that the sex could be strenuous and even fatal. He replies, “Well, if she dies, she dies.”

Now you know why he needs all those vitamins. And why Kandi said he didn’t need anymore vitamins. I wonder how Lois and Margot will react?

Well, I’m pretty sure everything hasn’t been chronicled…

I wonder if Lois will bring Clark as her date for the wedding.

Yikes!

Surrogate

Lizz’s haircut looks GREAT!!!!!

I like the candy cane in her mouth. This to be a Christmas story? Anyway should be interesting!

Yikes! Holy Viagra, Batman!

OH MY GOD!!!! Candi, you didn’!

Congratulations, Vitamin!!!

Obviously VItamin’s new "Vitamin regime si quite potent.

Before I forget …

WHOA!

Hmmmm….. didn’t think Kandi was on Vitamin’s side of the stage, so to speak. Well, congrats anyway!

cue the ominous music

Well, whaddya know about that? Kandi is expecting! Vitamin, you old goat, you! Congratulations!

Yes, Kandi certainly did “catch” every “moment”!

But, now, on to police business….

OH

MY

GOD

Vitamin you HOUND!!!

Still amazed they didn’t name the kid “Hamlet”.
