Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 23, 2021

Good morning™, friends!

And so, Mysta learns that Vera Alldid is even more scuzzy than she imagined. Also, this proves that it isn’t still the first day of the promotional tour as I was thinking before. Alldid, as expected, has been saking her out every day. None of us are surprised by that, I’m sure.

That got Mysta’s attention!

Awkward

Oh joy! I was so hoping for another day by the poolside!

I gues they forgot to implant those memories into Mad Mindy!

I can’t figure out what they were going for with Mindy’s eye!

That was a shocker for her!

Good morning™, surprised revelations !

I always thought she would have learned that much sooner once she got “tangled” up with him. Should HM slather some of that sun off goop on her horns ?  She is looking much more like a girl today.

We’re no nearer criminal activity. Sigh…

Okay. So the subject has reared its ugly head: Vera was Sparkle’s husband. The surprise is, apparently, Mysta doesn’t remember this.

Back in the day, she did seem to “remember” that she was (had been) Junior’s wife. This is also a flashback to that Scar episode, another time when Mysta’s “memories” were tested.

It is a subject that Mike needs to explore. But now? Right now, it looks just to slow the current story down.

Even more.

Shouldn’t Honeymoon refer to Sparkle at her foster mom? In any case she should feel a bit awkward being in presence of a clone of her real mom!

Anyone notice that the real Naperville had a strong tornado rip through town? I hope that Tracys house is OK.

Visual delight today seems brighter than usual? !

For some reason, I couldn’t post here until after midnight Pacific Time. Did anyone else have this problem?

I’m thinking today’s script might be more entertaining for a relative noob like myself who isn’t familiar with the full backstory; it’s both a surprising revelation and awk-ward!

Frankenmindy is naive, so maybe shes mistaking Vera’s attempts at being nice to her the wrong way

Okay, I haven’t read Dick Tracy since the 60s, but didn’t Sparkle marry B. O. Plenty? I remember hearing her called Sparkle Plenty…

I said yesterday that Mysta might not know about the history of Vera and Sparkle and blurt out something. Well, I was correct. Mysta did not know and blurted out something.

When did this strip become DICK TRACY, MD. Or DICK WORTH. Or DICK TRAIL. Or DICK TRACY’S READ IT OR NOT!

I thought he had been married to the original Moon Maid.

Alldid was married to Sparkle Plenty?

Ye, I know all about Sparkle eloping with Vera Alldid through the original creator%cartoonist in the 1970’s – wowee – plus their ‘quickie’ Mexican divorce that led Sparkle to the Iceman, a free-lance hitman employed by Big Boy as a solution to his cancelled Million Dollar bounty on Dick Tracy!! Wowee!!

Sparkle MARRY B.O.??? OMG< Please catch up. Sparkle is BO and Gravel Gerties daughter for God’s sake. Read some backstory dude.

Hom many of these moon women are there for goodness sakes?

Persistence is a good strategy.

I’ve lost track of what the Moon Maid genealogy is. I hope someone can post who fathered whom, etc.

Why do I suspect Mysta has something in mind for that piece of slime that will now be very long, very slow, & hurt very much?

the plot thickens

Mark this Day of Revelations! Honeymoon tells Mysta something significant about Vile Alldone that she had not known before.

How small this world becomes!

I hope that tanning lotion is high SPF!

Since when did Mysta need a “job”?

Shouldn’t her eyes be drawn popping through the glasses?

But in all seriousness, can we have a small golf clap for the colourist not tinting the lens black hiding her eye.
