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

“My Uber will be here shortly.”

Road trip, “bang zoom!”

along with some moon pie snacks, no doubt…

Good morning™, everyone!

Well, it looks like everything is prepared for the trip. Tracy, it’s not “Moon Valley” — it’s “New Moon Valley.” It makes you wonder how Lunar fashions have changed since the last time we visited the Moon when it was full of people. The Ambassador is clearly not the fashionably dressed guy.

Good morning™, trip preppers !

Tracy is more concerned about the mode of transportation than the trip or its destination at the moment.

Mysta looks delicious in any thing she wraps herself in. …Followed by a flood of wolf whistles and as lewd as Comments can get without waking the “nanny”.

I appreciate how Shelley is drawing Mad Mindy like the “Unhinged at any moment” person she is!

Tracy, be careful!

Dick seems to be breaking the fourth wall and giving us readers that suspicious and knowing look of, “I don’t trust this guy at ALL…”

Tracy: Ambassador, how will we get to Moon Valley?

Ambassador: Beam me up, Scotty !

Plot twist—the Ambassador wants to return the guys who stole the LAST Space Coupe!

In the last panel, shouldn’t that read, “Ambassador, HOW WILL WE GET TO MOON VALLEY?”

Road Trip!!!! I call Shot Gun!! Do we know the way to San Jose??

Ambassador: “Frank Sinatra.”

“to the moon, Alice!”

A snack of brownies for Honey Moon…one could almost think she was going on a camping trip.

Tracy must have accrued enough leave time from the department to make this trip to New Moon Valley. Lizz, Lee, Sam and the Chief will hold things down until he returns.

From the look through the window, are they leaving at dawn or “in the still of the night”?

Sunny Day

Sweepin’ the clouds away

On my way to where the air is sweet

Can you tell me how to get?

How to get to New Moon Valley?

TRACY: “Ambassador, how will we get to Moon Valley?”

AMBASSADOR (reaches into his pocket and takes out an instrument): “Engineering: Four to beam up.”

through imagination land. where we can imagine we’re there in the safety of our home… :D

Tracy may be having a stroke in the last panel.

“WE ride the 900 miles. YOU walk,slimy Earth being.”

I have been wondering why neither Mysta nor Honeymoon have been wearing Lunar style clothes. Honeymoon usually wears a tee shirt with some kind of logo on it.

Brownies? Not Moon Pies?

The Ambassador looks like an old lech staring at Mysta like that.

“It’s just on the other side of Moon River.”

Not to throw a wrench into this happy occurrence, there is another Moon Coupe still lost out there. There is something not right about this.

1-JUNIOR: I purposely didn’t put cheese on that sandwich because the moon is made of cheese. HONEY MOONS: Good thinking!

MYSTA REE: Do they where bras on the moon?

GOVADOR: No, I made them illegal when I was governor… drool, slobber

DT: Really? Are there any openings on the Anti-Bra Enforcement Team?

GOVADOR: Not in the Inspection Unit.

DT: Darn. I was itchin’ to get my hands on some violators!

Yoda Tracy with wisdom speaks.

Tracy should be saying “…how will we get to moon valley?”. The “will” and the “we” should be reversed. Good comic strip.

…….now THERE is the $64.00 question……….

Dick Tracy WIKI/FANDOM says—“The Moon Governor could sometimes be temperamental”

Yeah—95% temper,%5 mental.Stolen from Moe Howard

MOVIE QUOTE—“You’ve been seeing too many Charlie Chan movies,Inspector”.

Rock Hudson to Edward Fox—Agatha Christie’sTHE MIRROR CRACKED—1980

Only the novelty of the “single panel” today—and very well done.

And before you ask,both Honeymoon and Mysta 2 know how to “temperature adjust” their systems.

That’s a funny looking brownie….looks more like a sandwich.

Grammar nitpick: it should be “Ambassador, how WILL we get to Moon Valley?”

“How will we get there?” See that cow out on the street….

Just everyone is getting ready for the Big Road Trip! It’s Tracymoon Vacation Time.

Ambassador is being so oozingly nice. What’s wrong with this picture (not Mysta, certainly; she is looking great)?
