Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for August 01, 2011

Looks like a new adventure folks.

WOW !!! Who’s the old battle ax with the cup of pills?

I fear for the safety of Mr. Decopolus.

Notice that Mina is crosseyed.

Geo[rgios] Decopolus [Dekopoulos] seems to be of Greek ancestry. With his nurse Gloria and nurse’s assistant Mina, he could not possibly be Mr. Crime, could he? Or is he the next innocent victim? Gloria looks bad to the bone, whatever George turns out to be….

I hereby resolve to QUIT trying to guess where the storyline is going as as an adult and just enjoy the ride as a little kid!!

Good to see Mr. Decopolus again, but… Mina?!?! Uh-oh…

Hmmmm Mina asks, “want me to take you out” That sounds ominous in this strip.

Something very “Seedy” is going to happen!!!!!

You know… I miss those full strip splash panels that used to name a newspaper strip story. Never seem to get them anymore.

Well at least he’s in grea…. er.. goo… ok so he’s in big, giant, scary, hands!

Seems to me that Mina is the Nurse Ratched of this strip. Or maybe Gloria is, or even both of them.

Did anyone see the Bizarro comic yesterday – with the “Mobile Bangle” (a Velco wrist strap for a cell phone)? IMHO Dick Tracy had this idea first, with the wrist radio (way back in the 1940’s, I think).

Mornin’ Vista Bill and everyone else!@idesamaThanks for the background on Mr. Decopolus and Mina. I had no idea they were returning characters (but I’m not surprised).Now – how does this tie in with Mr. Crime? And B-B Eyes? And Attitude Plenty? Toon in tomorrow!

At first I thought the Panda was Oddwad — also from L’il Orphum Pannie.

where’s big boy?

Good afternoon all…

The story arcs are amazing, the artwork impeccable and even better, this comment board is back to the days when sparky would run contests, bassman bob and others freely providing the backstories, history and insights of the Tracy legacy.

Truly an appreciative fan community is forming again…thanks to all for sharing!

Okay, It’s 4:19 in the afternoon and I’m checking in on Dick Tracy, but I don’t see any strip. What’s going on here?

You’ll have to blame Gould himself for that. Mr. Staton is just doing a reasonable reconstruction job.

That’s the way Gould did her, so we’re kind of stuck. I can’t cross my eyes, as I only have one.

Thanks ti idesama for the background on the characters.

Gloria looks like Walter Mondale with a blond wig.

Odd bunch.
