Knowing the DT universe, he either has a beard, a glowing personality (little wingy), a magnetic charm (Honey Moon), or reptilian (oh wait, that’s Eraserhead)
Not out of the question for the Plenty baby to be born with a beard considering it’s a boy. Chester Gould did the same thing with Fresh Upp’s baby in the 60s. Anyone remember Little Boy Beard? As for calling him Gooden, I doubt that as he was one of B. O.s brothers. More like Mucha or Havva or sometrhing like that. You can bet it’ll be something unique.
Hi everybody. I have been reading this page for years but have just now joined. I am completely happy and satisfied with the new team–a great boost to the legacy of Dick Tracy.
dkram: I have also noticed the similarity between Lizz and the style of the Archie Comic women. Remember, Stanton used to be involved with Scooby Doo whose characters resemble the Archie style.
YEs! I remember Little Boy Beard. Wasn’t he in the Spots and Ogden the poet series with Fresh Upp and MOthaw? Perhaps Ogden served as wndrwrthg’s inspiration? He is alot better than Ogden EVER was however!
I’m betting he looks just like any ordinary baby - only with B.O.’s head. You know, a scrawny chicken neck, bushy hair and brows, and, of course, beard.
Delivering any baby that looked like THAT would be enough to send any doctor or nurse running and screaming.
The Plenty men have strong DNA - maybe too strong.
Last time I saw Sparkle, 30 years ago, she was quite glamorous, even though that was before she became Mrs. Tracy. Has Little Boy Beard, or Fresh Upp Plenty been on canvas in the last 50 years?
Okay, again, VAST IMPROVEMENT over the abomination this strip had become in Locher’s hands. But it seems like our debut story had some hanging threads…like, why were the bad guys pardoned by the feds? What was the point of the big rally? If last week’s resolution is really all there was to the story, it seems like half the strips were pointless misdirection.
Nevertheless, I’m still on board and still very happy that Dick Tracy didn’t end his comic strip existence on such a down note.
Everybody seems to think the baby has a beard, even though we haven’t seen his face yet (and perhaps we never will?).
Me? I’m imagining the little bundle of joy to be clean-shaven – but with a face that resembles Popeye the Sailor Man! That would certainly send the doctors and nurses screaming from the delivery room!

Maybe it’s not that bad. Huh? Ironically the Mrs. and I had the same look (Panel 3) at the end of the Pens game last night. :(
Oh so he’s got some 5 o’clock shadow at 6:00am

Think of all the advertising deals: the Mach 3 razor make your face as smooth as a baby’s bottom…. or this baby’s face?

Maybe it’s Babyface Finster, and Sam and Lizz just recognize him.

Actually in the last panel Lizz and Sam just noticed the people reading their adventure.
MikeCurtis Premium Member almost 14 years ago
In fact, here’s some dialogue.
Lizz “Why are those people in their underwear looking at us?”
Sam “That pizza one’s eating makes me hungry.”

Glad to see you and your sense of humor are surviving the storms ,Mike! PLENTY of pizza left Sam and Lizz, come on over! I’ll put on some pants!!!

Given what someone suggested about the newborn’s endowments, how about Hornough Plenty?
BassmanBob, that’s the visual equivalent of a Wonder Warthog poem. (Not the image itself, but the message it conveys.)
