Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for December 25, 2024

well, before I forget and it slips my mind, here’s wishin’ all you competent and INcompetent inmates here at the Asylum, this Fruitcake Factory, a joy to yer world…

leave yer cookies on a plate for Sandy Claws when you’re finished heaving up your Christmas spirits and take your Christmas-y themed stocking OFF before you hang it on yer mantle and be sure to tell Mickey what yer gonna do…

you’re NOT supposed to still be wearing the stocking when you hang it up… it tends to get very uncomfortable and awkward when you do so… and before you DO, make sure you wash it out and hang it on said mantle to dry… otherwise the foot stench will gag, choke and strangle Sandy…

if you DON’T and Sandy smells that aromatic bit of noxious nauseousness, he might decide to insert that lump of coal along with a canary up your personal coalmine where the sun don’t shine…

Merry Christmas to one and all… well, not ALL of ya, cause ONE of you is a jerkwad… LOL…

and you know who you are… LMAO…

Wishing everyone a happy, safe, blessed, and meaningful Christmas.

Geez, they just can’t let Annie go, can they? Still, a very Merry Christmas to Mike & the entire creative team at Dick Tracy, who remain dedicated to keeping Tracy in the business of catching the bad guys as we enter the 2nd quarter of the 21st century. And a very Merry Christmas to all in the commentary community, & to all a good nite.

Whoa! Just like back in the day when comic strips took a pause to acknowledge the holiday.

Stealth ad for Ovaltine?

“Drink your tequila!”

Merry Christmas to all Tracy fans and to the Mike and his DT team!

Merry Christmas to one and all.

Merry (your holiday here), Armchair Detectives and Deviants.

(Holds her glass up, of grandma’s eggnog — not for kids ;). A toast to all here, including the low-hanging nuts on the tree; Gweedo, and Firestrike. ;) Also to the artists, and writers of this great strip, I pray to the Great Creator to your health, peace, and safety that we will be here on Christmas 25.

Also to absent friends whom is still missed to this day. Including the family of Chester Gould. Whom we owe a debt of gratitude for bringing out Dick Tracy in the early 30s, for without it, we may not be here together.

There were several American groups with the initials SS in American popular culture. There was a Secret Squadron, and Annie had her Secret Society – who could use their decoder badges for special message. Sadly, the Nazis made SS an unfortunate set of initials and names were changed to protect the innocent.

What? Drink your what?

Don’t forget to drink what? What is Annie trying to tell me? The fate of the earth may hang in the balance!

“Ovaltine?” … A crumby commericial?! … ~ Ralphie, from “A Christmas Story.” Thanks for the share, and, Merry Christmas.

And Sam Ketcham is celebrating Hanukkah.

Since its Christmas, howzabout team tracy gives us a REAL gift and just wraps up this massive misfire so we can throw it aside and forget about it like a pair of Christmas socks

…..beer. Leapin’ Lizards, Annie, don’t rush me!

Ovaltine (I can’t get over…)

drink your what? :\

Ovaltine!

“Whiskey” I’ll be having mine neat.

It’s the best Christmas ever ! We got a new VengeyTale !

Didn’t Tracy’s radio show have a sponsor like Ovaltine, and, have premiums like Annie did?(And, where can you find Ovaltine nowadays? I understand that the last parent company was some Swiss company, and, the glass jars have long since been discontinued>)

“A CRUMMY COMMERCIAL!”

Thanks for your hard work………

A very Merry Christmas to Tracy Nation worldwide!!

Merry Christmas and Happy Ho Ho’s to all of the A.D D. peeps out there! I didn’t send cards this year because of a bad cast of tendinitis. My hand writing is currently atrocious. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday, no matter which you celebrate. Have a sip of Annie’s brew (Gweedo’s is better) and enjoy! Peace!

Merry Christmas, y’all!

Dear Neighbor,As per your pet dinosaur, wolf or unspeakable horror. They really didn’t need to leave us a little gift on our front porch last night. I KNOW it wasn’t a reindeer!

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

….and “Arf!” says Sandy…..

And on that subject, where the Dickens is my Red Ryder rifle with a thing in the stock that tells time?

I was never a big Annie reader on Sundays. Can we have some Dondi references on New Year’s Day? Or maybe Moon Mullins?

Merry Christmas!

An orphan Annie decoder! Where’s my Red Ryder BB Rifle!?

Don’t tell me “You’ll shoot your eye out kid”!

Is that 1962 Rubber Santa thing from Diet Smith still orbiting the Earth?

A crummy commercial?!!! Son of a seabiscuit!
