Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 15, 2024

Bellowthon will bellow. Carries on a rank tradition

Favors pointing fingers. So judgmental his condition.

Aspersions cast as in the past. Denigration of the “Other”

Defamation from foul fools of mother, sister, brother.

Suspicion grew, for Tracy knew just who was in the clear

Honeymoon and Mysta. Each beloved, bold, and dear.

Noone else in Tracyville could freeze a person so

Except for Ro-Zan from far south. This Tracy does know.

NOW Ro-Creep’s plan is revealed…

to discredit the Lunarians connected with Dick…

Honeymoon is already bar-hopping?

wasn’t the name ‘Bellowthorn’ a name connected with the Selfy case several years ago?…

a pis-sed and determined Dick is now on the warpath…

and he’s coming for R-Perv with guns a-blazing…

well maybe a Bribering…

but the damage is already done by Rabble-Rouser Bellows…

“Rozy” could be related to “Moon Mullins”.

Panel 3 – Liz straight to “business”. No “Good morning” Tracy. The artwork today, in my view, is fantastic.

Good morning™, Fine Looking Ladies !

Lizz is looking good today, Carlos. Moon ladies are looking good too if noticeably different from Joe and Shelley’s Moon chicks.

Will Sam have any part of this affair or will he be deemed on vacation or some other assignment like maybe looking for the escaped prisoners ? …And this story could change channels and take a look in on Sam and whatever he is doing to collars these cons.

Panel 4 – " Witnesses identified the assailant as a Lunarian". If the witnesses saw the assailant, they must be able to identify whether they were either a male or female. Also give a better description than just a “Lunarian” – that is height, weight, physical appearance, type of clothes, shoe color.

Good morning™, everybody!

Lois Bellowthon was a member of Congress trying to get anti-Lunarian legislation passed. She died, but it seems that her brother is now in Congress and is ready to take up her cause.

The problem, of course, is that the public only knows that a Lunarian caused the violence. Since the existence of New Moon Valley on a remote part of the earth is a fact hidden from the public, Honeymoon and Mysta will be the only two possible suspects in this incident.

Tracy’s so upset he’s rushing out without even bothering to put put on his raincoat! I think Rep. Bellowthon is about to be “impeached,” Dick Tracy style!

Tracy’s on the case!

“The assailant was a Lunarian! Who witnesses described as looking nothing like Mysta or Honeymoon. Security footage confirms it wasn’t them. But I’m blaming them anyway ‘cause I’m not the sharpest frog in the blender.”

Don’t worry about Lunarians! It’s the dirty, pet-eating immigrants we’ve got to look out for!

Once again, guild by association. And a distant association in Tracy’s case. I suppose Sam will be appointed lead on this investigation.

“I gots ta’ thwack me some Lunies! This coverup is fallin’ apart!”

I get it. This is Alternate Universe eeeevil mage Tracy!

But if truth be told, the bar assailant was a Lunarian male, and since Honeymoon and Mysta are female, that should disqualify them as suspects!

Someone needs to tell Mike about our NO POLITICAL COMMENTS Rule.

1- DT: HI HONEY – I’M HOME! Wait. You’re not Tess. Where am I??? LIZ: At work you tool. Check this out…

2- TELEVISION ANCHOR: Horned aliens are protesting …

3: …with a sit-in from the comfort of a Tracyville Park bench. Or they may have been simply enjoying the day. Regardless…

4: …the Reverend Imagod has demanded they be arrested immediately. REVEREND IMAGOD: THESE MOON PEOPLE ARE AN ABOMINATION AND AN AFFRONT TO THE ALMIGHTY! WE HUMANS ARE MADE IN HIS IMAGE AND WE DON’T HAVE HORNS!

DT: Spacebar? Does it connect us to outer space? CLICK. Guess not…

5- DT: Guess I’ll try to find my way home. I hope I don’t end up back here. Only time will tell…

I love seeing Lizz in the story. Charles does a particularly good job of drawing her.

Before they replaced me with Crosby (not Bing you old farts), me Stephen and Graham worked together. Here’s me demoing a song (playing and singing all parts – even faux pedal steel!) Maybe they’ll bring me back now that David’s gone…

Excellent art work. The face of Dick Tracy in last panel is a classic!

is this arc developing into what they call an allegory mirroring real-life?…

or whatever it is that they call it?…

Isn’t Honeymoon a little young to be hitting the club scene ?

How high would a wall have to be to keep out the Lunarians?

I wonder if there is a bunch of missing cats as well ?

Lunarians also eat cats and dogs, doncha know.

Is SBN Morning News really Fake News ?

I would love to make some political jokes but fighting the temptation!

Ro-zan eh. This look like a job for… Tar-zan!

And of course the artworks is awesome as always for Carlos il Magnifico is never disappoint.

Somebody stuff a rag in that politician’s mouth .

Tracy: Ro-Zan.

Seinfeld: Newman.

I remember years ago, back in 2016, when Mike asked a question on FB about the generational population of Lunarians at the time. I helped out the best I knew how, with a decent understanding of how generations work on the average. Amateurish, at best, but I was proud of my contribution. Still am, seeing that it’s coming up again.

Where’s the new day’s strip? Missing again?

So, as suspected, Diet never did buy Ro-Zan’s story about owing Smith Industries a Space Coupe. Why is Lunarian violence in the city impossible?

No GoComics again today? What’s going on with this?

Today’s GoComics are on the Seattle Times. Why not here? Is GoComics asleep again?
