Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 23, 2011

Good morning all…

This is getting exciting!

Salutations Everyone!.Love the action, Haku is better with a whip than Doubleup.Come on Tracy chug the coffee already and backup Haku!

Welcome back Honeymoon!

Okay, now that Haku Kou has disarmed Doubleup, it’s time for Dick to get on the action.

I am intrigued.

Wow! Love that Scarlet Sting catch-phrase in panel 1! And Haku’s skill demonstrated in panel 2! Is Honeymoon monitoring illegal downloading in panel 3, or doing it?

Good Evening All! Yea! Honeymoon has appeared! I think the logo on her shirt is to dark a blue. Pick a color that goes with black lettering. She is also looks like she is wearing lipstick and nail polish. Honeymoon is still a young teenager. I don’t think Mike Curtis has her in High School yet. Clarification Mike.

I also noticed her moon shaped earrings are different colors

To be honest, I wouldn’t mind if somone other than Tracy saved the day on occasion. It would really be more realistic and make Tracy’s friends and allies more dynamic to know that, in a pinch, they can do the job on their own.

Having said that… (glares at the last few years worth of strips and shudders)

This is an amazing adventure. The artwork alone is priceless! Honeymoon is adorable…and as far as Tracy appearing, I would love to see him more too, but even Gould would sometimes go for days wihout showing the great detective!

From the looks of things, Honeymoon’s become a slightly JETSONS-influenced teenybopper-type… which is in character and, thankfully, not some weird 180-degree turn around like if she’d become a Goth Chick.

In the second panel, shouldn’t Doubleup’s balloon show “!!” ?

Wrath? Sting? Ha! Ole double-lip will feel the pain that comes from an automatic hand gun, and soon while cracken that thing at Lizz! Honeymoon is as cute as my youngest daughter.

Looks like Doubleup made a guest appearance in the Argyle Sweater comic this morning…

OmiGOD! I wonder if Honeymoon is a Zappa fan?

You said she was coming…now she’s here…SO AWESOME !

Thanks Mike & Joe !

Now howzabout Bonnie Braids & Joseph Flintheart Tracy ? !

Honeymoon – the greatest happening since creation itself. That is until Locher retired.

Great to see the return of Honeymoon! Love the ‘Moon’ references. Hope she still has her ‘magnetic’ personality!

Is it just me, or in that last panel, does Honey Moon bear a passing resemblance to Usagi Tsukino (of Sailor Moon fame)?

I hope Honeymoon is still drawn with paper clips hanging from her magnetic fingers :-)

I could NOT be happier to see all the positive comments on Honeymoon! I am THRILLED to see that Mike and Joe have brought her into the current story! I LOVED Moonmaid, so happy to see Honeymoon as part of Tracy’s life again. I have missed her!

This promises to be a very profitable episode. First they show it as is, and then they lease the footage to Wrigleys and collect residuals for Doublemint commercials.

I also hope that she does have her magnetic powers, I laughed at the paper clip comment. Hey, it’s a comic strip after all! I am still waiting to see how Joe is going to draw Sparkle. I hope he will bring back, all those curves she had when Gould and Fletcher drew her.

Hey great to see that Honeymoon is finally back! The last I saw her was when her mother was killed by Little Littel (8/8/78) Can’t wait to see Sparkle, Sparkle jr., Bonnie and Joe Tracy :)

How can we be sure it’s not Tracy in the Scarlett Sting get-up fighting Doubleup? Just a thought.

Is there any place we can get a “family tree” for Tracy and the Plenty’s? I don’t remember a lot of these characters.

It could just be the fact that the GoComics colorist doesn’t do the creative team any favors, but I’m not really digging Honeymoon’s look here. I’ll have to take a look at the B&W original. As for her magnetic fingers, I hope she can shut them off at will if she still has them…it’s got to be a pain when using electronic devices. The fight between Doubleup and Haku though is great stuff.Aaron

I wonder if the ‘Son of Spike’ in panel 3 is a reference to an offspring of Spike Dyke?

More closeups of Liz in bondage!

I hope Bonnie’s an adult again. Her weird mutation back into a tweenager these last few years was the beginning of the end in my view of post-Collins DT stories.
