Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for April 06, 2022

Is that the poop coffee?

Good morning™, everyone!

Two coffee connaisseurs compare notes. They seem to be getting along extremely well, even if Coffee Grounds doesn’t like the idea of coffee beans pooped out by civet cats.

Grounds looks like he’d rather be Coffy’s manager than Tonsils’.

Good morning™, coffee nuts !

And ya gotta be to drink that stuff tho’ there are many odd things people find scrumptious so who am I to judge ?  Will Vitamin recognize Coffy ?  Calling Dick Tracy.

Anybody notice that Coffy is wearing the same black shirt/red bow tie combo as Sam does ?

I just looked it up, I will pass thank you very much!

‘Moka’ is so smooth I would take him for a good guy if I hadn’t been following this course of events. Shelley has him looking ever so sweet and kindly today. Is this the same guy who made the veiled threat to Matt the other day ?

Friends bond over Coffee..

ZZZZZZzzzzz,,,,,

He’s “talking shop” with Coffeehead…

All the coffee emphasis in this story and yet I’m finding it harder and harder to stay awake….

this is keeping me up at night

Any recognition from Vitamin?

Yum!

Coffypothead’s been desaucered and MUGGED>>or is that shot glass with a handle?

Far out…in the time Vitamin was on the phone….these two connoisseurs are having a conversation via that beverage one can drink any time of the day.

Obvious Coffyhead was persuaded to try out the playhouse’s brew while he waited. He sure did not come there with a mug in his coat pockets.

Coffee probably drinks only “American”.

…..my trying new stuff with weird names ended with Quisp and Quake cereals……….

Here comes Vitamin Flintheart?

Coffyhead and Coffee are forming quite a brew-mance.

1-VITAMIN: COFFEE! LOOK! I’VE LEARNED TO MAKE OBSCENE HAND GESTURES FOR OUR LATEST PLAY! Both of these relate to my private parts!

2-VITAMIN: Coffee?

3-COFFEE LATTE: Yeah, Floyd Patterson died decades ago but sometimes Vitamin inappropriately uses burnt cork to imitate… OH! You can see for yourself. Here he comes now…

I would like to share credit for my best ever effort with Shelly and the Mad Colorist for providing me with so much to work with today. From the bottom of my heart – I thank you! (What? No award? DAMMIT!)

MOVIE QUOTE—-

“You’ll find every convenience on this island.Except,of course,a telephone”.

George Zucco—FOG ISLAND—1945

When LILO AND STITCH was turned into a weekly show,there was a show where the little girl needed Kona Coffee as an antidote;only the stuff was so strong t hey don’t sell it to minors.

Fact or fiction?

Sadly,Vitamin was “away” from mid-1947 to 1950,so he “just missed” Coffyhead.

Notice the art and the “curved hallway” foyer,a nice touch showing how older theatres were designed.

Better be careful, that silhouette looks like an escaper from a minstrel show. That’s a no-no

personally, I’ll leave those “exotic” coffees to those coffee conisuers. I’ll take my “donut shop,” or, “breakfast” blends. Those are fancy enough for my taste.And, after Coffyhead is done discussing those “exotic beans,” what does he have in mind for the “Tonsils clone”? Presumably, nothing good.

The two Coffee Men seem to be hitting it off!

It’s quite a tasty treat. I’m sure…

Looked it up and no thanks. For anyone who reads ‘Luann’ Dez probably would drink it.

Coffee everywhere!

Time for The Moon Governor to take the only space coupe’ left and he and Diet Smith can evacuateInspector Ivanova from Russia(and his wife).

Give the MCU a real international flavor.

How did Coffy find out Vitamin was Tonsil’s agent?

Over on Agnes today, Agnes and Trout are nattering about why they always wear the same clothes. Sameness of dress is a regular comic strip feature.

Bizarro is musing about the advantages of having many arms:

An interlude of coffee humor, to Vitamin’s disconcerted awe. But I must endorse what Coffee Grounds says in panel 3: “Kopi luwak? Never tried it, never will.” So much for coffee connoisseurship….
