Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for July 22, 2022

Good morning™, everyone!

Yeah, that’s a bit of a romantic hint she’s getting there.

“Have I mentioned that it’s a sign of friendship in Moon Valley culture to invade and dominate a new friend’s country?”

Good morning™, slobberin’ h’ dogs !

I swear I can hear the sound of pealing rubber as this kid revs up ……………………. for the big letdown but it’ll be fun if only briefly once Mysta gets hip to the operation.

Toss-up: Ro-zan is either conning her and setting her up to be used…OR he really is falling for her and his big plan is about to go sideways.

ZZZZZzzz,,,,,

No! I am hoping for a romance between Mysta and the “Cad” Vera Alldid. lol

Those are earrings aren’t they????

With a friend like Rozan she won’t need many enemies…..

For Rozan, everything is going according to plan….

“You got nothing to lose. You don’t lose when you lose fake friends-” Joan Jett.

She dated the Spirit?

This revival of the Moon Period makes me wonder. After all the Moon Period was a deviaton from the strip’s theme even if it reminds some readers and presumably Mike of their youth. But at least the current story has drama, potential for action and interesting developments which is more than one can say of some recent stories. So all is ok, I guess. Hope the story lives up to expectations

“I dated a nice man named Denny Colt… Until Ellen Dolan put a stop to that.”

just wondering can’t she read his mind? the thing with those mystical connections usually goes both ways

Looks like the Dick Tracy strip has decided to Jump the Shark.

She has no waist !!!

“But that date with wacky funnyman Rip Taylor? Don’t ask. I’m STILL picking confetti from my teeth!”

Sure. I have lot of dorky friends.

cue the ominous music

Let’s count the number of people screaming, Don’t do it, girlfriend!…

DON’T DO IT MYSTA!!!!

Denny Colt? Wil Eisner’s Denny Colt?

You don’t need to be a mind reader to know what HE’S thinking!

I hope this doesn’t end up like yesterday’s episode of The Orville New Horizons with the innocent little girl.

1-BRO-ZAN: So…how do they feel? Uh…like…real ones?

2-MYSTA: Wouldn’t you like to know…

3-BRO-ZAN: SLOBBER, SPIT, DROOL YES I WOULD! UH-HUH! YES PLEASE! AIIII YOOOO GAAAAA!!! AHHH-ROOOOO!!!! WOOF WOOF WOOF!

Grandkids visiting from out of town. Don’t have much time to comment or respond. They are 7 and 11.

“Hey, Hey, HEYYYYYYYYY there, all you hip cats and Super Swell Swingers out there in Terrific Tracy Town! We’re still doing our Brilliant BMBG Broadcast here in Antarctica, and it looks like Ro-Zan’s getting familiar with our friend Mysta! And you just know that your Dashing, Dynamic Deejay, JPuzzle The Whiz, has got the perfect music to mark this Obviously Other-Wordly Occasion, with a Tantalizing, Terrific Twin Spin!”

MOVIE QUOTE—-

“I’m too scared to be scared any more”—Sunshine Sammy Morrison—BOYS OF THE CITY 1940

Vera Alldid a “male friend”??

Mysta,wash your mouth out with meteorite dust!!

If there’s plans to abandon somebody else in outer space,I nominate………

Don’t fall for it Mysta!! He’s a moon-snake!

“A nice man named Denny Colt?” Ellen Dolan might have had a few words to say about that!

Alas,I have chosen now to take a week’s vacation from work.

You shall next hear from me on Monday August 1st,assuming the Planet Earth is still here.(I follow the strip exclusively on my work computer).

enjoy and cheers…

“You know, after we take over Earth, I’ll of course have a harem. How’d you like to be Number 1?”

She told him about herself, now the ball is in his court. Who were or where are his parents? If he attended a university on Moon Valley, what did he study?

Ro-zan hopes Mysta will consider him a friend…maybe she is taking applications.

I suppose Tracy and the Ambassador are behind closed doors trying to figure out how to stop an invasion.

Is Ro-Zan truly smitten, or just ultra-devious? Or maybe a little of both?

Whatever his real motivation, there can be little doubt that he is trying to “put the moves” on Mysta. I think she is bright enough to see through any possible deceitful ploy, but on the other hand she tends to be ingenuous. So, we’ll have to see how this “romantic interlude” plays out….
