Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 18, 2024

The lions “starve” tonight.

Good morning™, everyone!

No giant snails at the zoo, I suppose? More importantly, “the cavalry” has arrived and can hopefully save everyone from Ro-Zan’s scheme.

Looks like we’ve reached the point in the story where things start to get dragged out in order to kill time.

Nice illustrations, as usual. Chucky is learning well from my VengyTales. Diet definitely looks like he’s ripping off a fart in panel 3! LOL!

with this rabble-rousing racism and bigotry being whipped up by Bellowthorn with Ro behind it all, shouldn’t Dick be fearing for Mysty and Honey’s safety?…

what if some pack of jack-asses out there that are drinking the kool-aid Bellowthon is feeding the public take to the streets or even to where they reside and attempt an assault on them?…

shouldn’t Dick station some street cops as extra added precaution JUST in case?… there ARE some idiots and morons out there that believe anything they hear on the news who want to work out their hatred upon some innocent victims…

I gotta take exception for once of Charles’ artistry in panel two and three…

Mysty really looks strange there in panel two with her facial expression and in panel three, it looks like she’s put on some weight…

With Diet pointing upwards, is it another Space coupe?

It occurred to me that yesterday that Diet didn’t mention the Sarcophagus to Dick. – Unless it was off panel?

Good morning™, Enthusiastic Pitchmen !

Will Diet be doing car insurance commercials or selling a miracle brand of foot powder ?  Would that cavalry be the two errant DNA tinkering docs and their driver, whatzisname, come to help fight Rozan ? (Maybe their ship bounced off that cushy gas layer of Jupiter, think gas shocks, and decided to ‘take the long way home’.)

Who is the cavalry? Should be interesting!

Ro-Zan has the sparks on, but not Mysta, wonder why?!

Lot’s of detail in today’s strip!

Remember the movie Alien Nation?

Why’s she so chummy all of a sudden?

Diet has finally snapped. He imagines he sees cavalry and he will now transform into Teddy Roosevelt leading the Roughriders.

Suddenly Roz has the sparking power and mysty doesn’t?

1- DOIT: Star light, star bright, I think I’ll hit the bars tonight! MYSTA MYSTA: I’ll go with…

2-: …See ya, loser! ROCKS-ANNE: HEY! I wanna go too! MYSTA MYSTA: Tuff TT!

3- MYSTA MYSTA: We’re not really going to the bars, are we? You just said that to annoy Rocks-Anne – right?

DOIT: Gurl puh-leese! Ima shake a hip like I just don’t care and point a finger in the air! We gone get down tonight! * MYSTA MYSTA:* Could we just wind up the gramophone and blast some Rudy Vallee at home instead?

DOIT: You do the winding – I just hurt my arm …and my hip…and my neck. Call an ambulance…

“Well, get THE lions in a CIRcle, Pilgrim.”

“Yes, the zoo was interesting. It will be an excellent detainment center for the humans when we take over.”…“Oh… I said that out loud?”

So are they keeping Ro-Boy occupied with a trip to the Ro-Zoo, ball park, museum, etc. while they bring in his brother with a security team to take him back to the NMV?

I’m going with “the calvary” referring to Dick & crew, arriving in their flying trash cans

Good Afternoon!

I am genuinely hoping the cavalry is a small fleet of air cars. If it helps shut down Ro-Zan’s plans, I’m all for it!

I’m just checking in real quick. I’m following the adventures of the Lunarians here but I’m having a lot of trouble being the executor of my sisters estate. One of my siblings and his girlfriend have been my biggest problem (like dealing with my sister’s death isn’t enough) and I had to get the police involved. It wasn’t pretty. I don’t usually ask this, but if any of you will continue to pray for me and/or offer any words of encouragement, I will be forever grateful. Thanks my fellow A.D.D. Detectives and I hope all is well here in our funny farm.

“It was…interesting. It made me think we should spare a few Terrans after all.”

The skunks and the rattlesnakes were offended by Roz-An’s presence
