    Good morning™, everyone!

    “We interrupt the denouement of the Art Dekko story with an emergency rerun of the George Reeds Minit Mysteries story that first ran starting April 1, 2018.”

    No, I have no idea why this guest artist story is here, but at least it’s only for eight days. I also have no idea what happened to the black elements of the graphic but see https://www.gocomics.com/dicktracy/2018/04/01 for the complete picture.

    The Fartman story is done and dead. There will be no sufficient conclusion.

    Mike will be free to continue with his; “The many loves of Lee Ebony” saga!

    Greetings and another abrupt ending!

    So, I guess all of the dangling plot threads will continue to blow in the wind, leaving us here to wonder as many suspected. Dekko appears to have pulled off the ultimate “hit” on Paul with no consequence, Agent 99 has disappeared with the dangling plot threads, Krypto’s seemingly pre-mature attempt to kill Art is unexplained, Tracy’s invisible conversation with Sue Reel is unexplained, and now we get a rerun of a minute mystery! This story needs another month to finish! I need TWINKIES, DAG-NABBIT!!!

    Good morning™, super hero rehashers !

    This is so inappropriate. I get the impression it took Mr Mike longer to finish the story and so there would be a gap while he works out tying up the bits and without the rehash the Tracy page would be a blank, so better quick stick something in as a place marker while the remainder of the story is being assembled.

    Holy f-Excuse me. I meant to say that there was an error in embedding the strip onto the website, that I’m sure that GC will be rectifying and correcting it as soon as they can.

    Cop: “Radio silence boys, I’m in the nice end of town and the folks don’t want your racket waking up their designer dogs.”

    Dick: “Where is Pancakes House?”

    Cop: “Get off this channel or you’ll be doing pushups ’til your arms fall off.”

    Sam: “We had pancakes for breakfast. I want to go somewhere we can get a steak and a shot.”

    Dick: “I want fookin pancakes y’know.”

    I think it’s time to fully retire this strip.I can’t understand why it has gone so far downhill. These idiotic mini mysteries were never good the first time around. We really deserve a writer for a change.

    Another Take  almost 2 years ago

    There can only be two explanations for today’s strip AND THEY BOTH INVOLVE ME AND MIKE:

    1- The Syndicate controlling Dick Tracy is throwing a test out there to see If I can produce an Alt Take that will be good enough to fire Mike AND HIRE ME AS THE NEW WRITER!

    2- Mike ordered Shelley to leave the caption balloons blank in the hopes that I would try to fill them in on my laptop screen with one of my Alt Takes. Nice try Mike but it was too difficult to write within the caption space on a vertical surface (luckily).

    I’ll share the news if the Syndicate contacts me but I’m pretty sure it must’ve just been Mike’s dastardly plan.

    Another Take  almost 2 years ago

    1-WRIST RADIO: BEEP – Your blood pressure is high and your heart beat is irregular. Proceed to the nearest emergency room.

    DT: Stupid Diet must’ve tried to incorporate Apple Watch features into this new version of the WR!

    2-BEAT COP PLAYING A GAG ON TRACY: I REPEAT – PROCEED TO NEAREST EMERGENCY ROOM! hee heeee!

    3-SAM: Don’t you think we’d better do it?

    4-DT: Of course not. I’m…

    5-SUPERMAN! Well, only when it comes to good health. Not so much when it comes to all that super chitt. I’m going strong at 93 ya know. SAM: Yeah. You are pretty good physically

    DT: Whadaya mean by that? SAM: Uh…nuthin. You’re sharp as the tack that Lois put on Clark’s chair to test to see if he had buns of steel! DT: Dam right I am!

    Another example of the creative desert of the Curtis mind. Now he can’t even use washed up characters, but has to repeat boring minit mysteries. Jeez, It’s too bad a new writer can’t be hired to at least bring something fresh

    So Tracy got a call from a cop saying they needed help at the of “George Reeds” who played “Ultraman” on television. Who bears a striking resemblance to Kal-El.

    Of course, George Reeves played Superman on television. And his actual death really was bizarre and mysterious. So I wonder if it’s going to be about that.

    I had to go to the archive to see the dialogue for the reprint. I’ve read where the cause of death of George Reeves is being disputed in some circles.

    FAIL!

    This mysterious interruption of the waning Art arc is made intolerable by the technical screw-up at GC. Too bad they don’t have sufficient weekend staffing to notice and maybe even fix messes of this kind.

    Why a Minit Mystery rerun at this point? Is there a point? Is Mike having RL issues, as some have speculated (though I have seen no evidence of this on that not-to-be-named social networking site)?

    Exasperation is the Name of the Game….
