    Why is Tracy squinting? Is the smell of this putrid storyline affecting him as well?

    Looking by the third panel - WHO IS RUBIN & WHIGHAM???

    Ok, a little searching, Neal Rubin and Rod Whigham do the Gil Thorp strip. Why is their name attached to Dick Tracy?

    Oh Dick, don’t you know that NOTHING can resist the power of “Jazz Hands”? Truly, now Tess is one with the powers of the cosmos itself.

    Neal Rubin and Rod Whigham must be sabotaging Dick Tracy! Not really a surprise, I didn’t think anybody could write comics this slow

    Tess: “He said we had to have this many to do it”.

    To heck with the perfume; Tess wants to go back to the part where she markets herself. Call Elliot Spitzer; he’s game!

    Hey everyone. JpuzzleWhiz feels I should stop my alternate stories. (Take a look at yesterday’s Gasoline alley comments to read the sensitive and eloquently worded request)! Opinions anyone? I wouldn’t ever want to overstay my visit.

    Peace.

    Bob, I like your postings. But if you can get DL to stop telling alternative versions of your story, that would be great.

    “The man who almost ran me over, who you gave cookies to, thinks YOU can sell perfume Tess? Thats laughable.”

    The best part, Dick, is that I get to sell myself to every man who buys a bottle, you *&$@$#.

    Ah, I love it when the Bundys guest star in Dick Tracy.

    Tess looks like she’s about to burst into song.

    “I’m a cops wife and I’m ok, I sleep all night and I shop all day, I worry so, and fuss and fret, And start a par-fume-a-reeeee!”

    I once caught a fish this big!!!

    JPuzzleWhiz says: only if you will take a break from your overly long (AND F-CKING BORING) “retellings” of the strip in Dick Tracy! ———————- BB, KEEP ROCKIN’ MY FRIEND. Keep up the good work!!

    Two more comments. 1) Bob, there are plenty of folks who enjoy your comments. If JPWhiz doesnt like them, he doesnt need to read them.

    2) What the heck happened to Gil Thorp? Where’d he go? He was there yesterday! Did he run off with Brenda Starr? This sounds like something Tracy should be worrying about, rather than this lame exploding perfume guy.

    I think Tess would be fully justified in kicking Tracy in the junk right now.

    I hope you all realize I’m only reading this strip to read your comments.

    OK. First of all, have any of you read Jpizzlewheeze’s comments before? They are beyond lame. Second do not lower yourself to his level by even responding to him. Third, of course we love your alternative stories. As RichardT said: “Bob, I like your postings. But if you can get DL to stop telling alternative versions of your story, that would be great.”

    I don’t think that any more needs to be said on the subject.

    Thanks everyone. I’m so touched by your show of support I might pee on myself. I was hoping my good buddy Jeff would chime in. I always try to meet your approval Jeff :-)

    Tracy suddenly remembered what he and Tess were talking about. “Poor, poor Tess, thinking she could be successful in any kind of business adventure”. Tracy thought as he continued to lose his fight to suppress the grin that kept widening on his face. “The professor thinks you can sell a line of perfume”? Tracy managed to blurt out. He was very close to succumbing to the urge to pee on himself. Tess started to slowly back away from Dick. She knew from past experiences that whenever he got into this superior “Your wasting my time” mood he always lost all control of his bodily functions.

    If there was anything Tess hated it was anyone who couldn’t control the urge to whiz. “Whizzing in public is so disgusting” she thought, puzzled as to why anyone would. “Tess, do you realize what’s involved”? Tracy said as he moved directly in front of Tess while losing all control of himself. Lifting her hands up in a defensive posture Tess simply said; “That’s what is so beautiful, Dick” as she wondered why she put up with this whizzing Dick.

    A whizbang job as usual, BassmanBob. (Sorry, I just had to say it – I really mean GREAT job as usual, BB!)

    Remember, don’t feed the trolls!

    Bassman Bob,

    This is a threat. Once you went two days without the story during a crucial robot confrontation. I stepped in and did those story lines. Here is the threat: if you stop doing the stories, I WILL DO IT AGAIN! If that doesn’t scare you, I don’t know what will.

    Sincerely, Starman Jones

    BB, if you EVER even think of retiring from your “explainin’” the daily strip here, I’m gonna do like Mattie and leave. You are the ONLY one who can make a lick of sense out of the daily drivel that Locher lays on us. You da man, BB! Trust me there; I’d even recommend you for that vacant Senate seat you have in N.Y.!
