Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 25, 2009

I rather like tracy’s profile in panel three.

“Now give me the gun,” said Tracy, master psychologist. “Oh sure, Tracy, here it is,” replied OEJ. BANG! ~THE END~

(Anything’s better than the alternative)

“Look out he’s gotta gun!” BLAM *BLAM *BLAM “Whoops it was just hs cell phone.”

What happened to yesterday’s, “POW”?

“It was greed and a large rear end that did in your sister!”

Print some vintage Tracy from the 40s or 50s instead of this garbage…or at least get a cartoonist who doesn’t draw with his feet and a writer who can write. There have to be lots of talented unemployed people out there. The hacks who are doing this once fine strip should join them.

I guess Jackie’s trigger hand was a little itchy in panel one, so he had to scratch it with his free hand.

Interesting how the gun changed from panel one to panel two. We can’t even have continuity across a few millimeters???

Dick Tracy is my all-time favorite comic strip.

Did Tracy get slugged between panels two & three or have plastic surgery? His nose changed size.

I don’t understand all this criticize. The strip today is good. The artwork is improved in the last days. C’mon guys! yes, the Tracy’s strip it’s not great every day, but I think soon we see a new writer.

sooo, the sun’l come out tomorroww …so you gotta hang on til tomorrow….tomorrow ..tomorrow is only a dayyyy awayyyyy

That guy’s got more lives than a cat! And Carlo, go back and read the past 2 weeks of this strip. Every day is a new ending for Jack. All we want is for Broz/Locher to pick one and go with it.

@China60, Sir, I will gladly pay you tomorrow for a hamburger today.

1st panel looks like Jack is turning the gun on himself

Sundays are a condensed version of the weekdays for those who only read the Sunday funnies. Hence the time warps.

Don’t worry Dick, Jack still hasnt pulled the hammer back on that heater yet. Bust ‘em in the head and toss him down a smokestack!

Why does today’s strip look so familiar ? It ‘looks’ like something provided already, last week !

“doctertoon”, cynically asks the right question – “Does the Wrist Genie have a time travel function?”

Talk about slow, talk about repetition and visits to the past(?) If it’s one thing, Locher want’s to make bleeep sure of, is you don’t miss one sentence or an expression. Better to let those contankerous, dull witted hangers on, read it at least three or four times. Get it ? Get it ? Get it?

I do ! I really do ! That’s why it wasn’t surprising to find the TMS Sunday page of June 7th, to be published two weeks from now, in a retrospective mode, displaying a usful “aide me’moire” of Tons’ HAND in the Racoon trap. It’s one month now, and those guys haven’t bled to death yet ? (yes, there’s a ‘comics’ time frame) and Jack’s body on the floor repeated, second Sunday in a row.

Seems we will have to endure SIX panels of it, prostrated on the floor. Talk about repetition ? Yes ! We don’t expect him to spring up again. We are really convinced now, he IS dead ! Perhaps you do “strain” a tad too much when you are seated, a la commode and engaging in “creative” thinking (?)

Try beaming up a “pink lady”, to erase some of those repeat panels Mr, Locher.

Is there no longer an archives or previous day link on this site anymore???

Well Carlo Coratelli has charmed us with his Continental good manners and patience. (Italian I think?)

Good to have you Carlo. What you are seeing here, is years of dammed up frustration expressed in cynical humor, on what is now mostly a third rate offering. It was at one time, years ago, America’s best comic strip ! We all want to see the strip back in it’s full glory, but there’s too much of a “cavalier” attitude and indifferent carelessness affecting the quality of the current strip. Although there is a tiny minority, with a slightly different “motivation” that thinks otherwise

If you are not already doing it, you should be reading the 45+ years of the ORIGINAL strip. “The Complete Dick Tracy by Chester Gould”. Now available at Amazon.com Fantastic strips ! Best prices !

Seems, (if you are Italian) that you just happen to have a compatriot named “Angelo Ventura” on the other Dick Tracy board. (Yahoo Groups Dick Tracy)

Overtop, For a while there I was puzzled too.

Look right above the last comic panel. You’ll see the date. Immediatly to the right of the “Date”, there are some tiny “symbols”. These will give you access. The one to the extreme right is the calander.

I don’t know if they’ve been linked yet but more future strips: http://www.tmsfeatures.com/bio/jim-brozman/

I thought you guys read posts (I know mine are long) ;-p but - - -.

Jack was shot by a new character “King of Clubs” who claims to own and leases out the Casinos, The shooting was on Sunday. Big Ace remains to be cleaned up.

TMS’s future strips up to Sunday June 7th are on their board.

Love your comments Sydney .

It seem that you don’t have the “é” on your keyboard as you wrote the word “me’moire” instead of “mémoire” .

You can type the “é” by typing : Left Alt + 130 ( on keypad ) and will get you the é .

Change the number to get all the accents you want .
