Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 01, 2019

‘Tis quite a sight

Space Coupe in flight

Magnetism rules.

At Smith’s compound

Gadgets abound

High tech toys and tools.

Crimestoppers three

Now look to see

Honeymoon’s birthplace.

Half way between

She made the scene

Born in outer space.

Good morning™, museum visitors

Besides being an opportunity to show Diet Smith’s new museum to Annie, today’s strip also explains to new readers something about why Honeymoon has horns and why she looks different.

Odd transition. ✨

A nice transition of sorts. Just so long that people can keep up with the story. Really stories A & B usually.

What’s Honeymoon’s nationality? Out of this world? :)

Good morning™, birthday reminderers !

That ship looks like a capped soft drink cup turned sideways.

Space coupe? Means the space vehicle has only two doors? Now, a space sedan would have four doors.

At least Diet isn’t explaining how Honeymoon came to be in her mother’s body. He’s leaving that to Junior, who will probably leave it to one of several women in Honeymoon’s life. Where Crystal, and, Annie will learn is a whole different story.

A Replica for a trip

In a coupe

And for a strip

To bring us back to the past

A baby born

And stories that last

One day the girl

Will be all grown

Perhaps the strip

Won’t make us groan

1- ANNIE: Judging from the name I would guess that it was made in China. GREENIE: Good call. “Spaceship velly shiny. It Sparkle Prenty.” 3: BLONDIE: That’s kind of racist. And mean. ANNIE: Shutup horn head.

Great to see The Space Coupe again. But Mike, you are such a tease. lol. So many unanswered questions. It’s nearly a year since we last saw Mysta Chimera, and the Moon Governor. When he first reappeared I was hoping for a beautiful drawing of the reunion of Honeymoon and her Lunarian Grandparents. A drawing of them embracing each other. It fell flat on that. We still don’t know what happened to Moon Valley. Why didn’t Honeymoon or Diet Smith question Daddy Moon Man about what happened to their City, why was it deserted. Will we ever know? Will we ever see the Governor’s wife? As a kid, I always thought she was kinda hot! Dennis.

Strange. I never thought of Dick Tracy as having sci-fi stories. Other then his radio in his watch.

ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz

i haven’t heard “Gee Whiskers” in 50 years. Made my day!

Given all that Annie has been exposed to in her short yet eventful life it’s hard to believe she’d be all that impressed by a space coupe. Great single panel artwork though.

It’s also a replica of the one that went off course and took those men to their doom!

So she wasn’t born on Earth. Is she an illegal alien?

Judging from what little we can see of their outfits, the girls are still wearing the same clothes we saw on May 27. This must be that same day, but the girls said they were going to see a movie. Change of plans?

Maybe (for the sake of preserving continuity) “the movie” the girls set off to see several Real Time days ago is a documentary being shown in the theatre of the Diet Smith Industries main campus. And now Diet himself is giving them the royal tour.

And Sparkle Plenty gets her due….

Seriously?
