Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for August 31, 2012

Top ten at least. Morning everyone.

Tracy’s still wrapped up. Wonder when it’ll occur to ‘em to check out Fritz’s work on his shoulder.

The huge variety of story lines is great! I like it.

Who’z on the tube?

voice-activated video cam?

Liz is a hottie with the new hairstyle! Themesong grew up to be a cutie, too.

In Lizz’ off-time, she is a pole dancer. (not Polish folk dancing, Nancy!)

Any way we can kill this video of yours?If you don’t like the story, fine, but please, spare the rest of us, huh?

Now, what I was going to say – Mornin’ Vista Bill, margueritem, Tarry, etc.!I’m betting Themesong is going to make a complaint about Phishface’s dummy site ripping off her fans. Wonder if they’ll get help from a cybercrime specialist. Love it!

she’s cute too

Themesong appears to have something to say; but I’m still not sure what it is. Why is Shoulders being introduced into this storyline? Will he turn out to be somehow connected to the Phishface phishing scam?

At this point in the current team’s tenure w/ the excessive cameos & character drop-in’s (Frizzletop anyone?), I wonder if it was in Joe Staton’s contract to draw EVERY Gould character? Or if it’s a Tribune stipulation to keep all the strip’s “properties” in the public eye following the Beatty legal battle?

Lest I be pegged as troll and/or hater—I am digging the Phishface character & enjoy the more contemporary computer crime angle. Good stuff there!

Happy long holiday weekend all!

Shoulders is not only merely dead, he is most sincerely dead. He will not be playing any part in the current storyline. His reference only provides some back story on Themesong for those who do not remember the duo.

is it just ME or does themesong in this strip look COMPLETELY different from teh one that appeared in teh strip with honeymoon and aster? she looks like a “little person” here and in the other she looked like Jem and the Hologram’s missing member. By the way… #19 today! stilldaman, not only are you top FIVE but youre top THREE!! quite a feat! congrats! lol!

moonlitknight, congrats on being number one ;)

Yeah I think you could call the monitor “artistic license.” as a longtime fan, I don’t have a problem with it at all. It wouldn’t directly benefit the new team or the syndicate but I wonder if the current strip and all of the cameos/resurrections have helped the sales of the Tracy books.

Good morning fellow DT fans…

For those who may not know the story – Shoulders was killed in his second encounter with Dick Tracy. He was standing at the top of a ladder in the home of Miss Varnish (an antiques dealer who restored funiture) trying to retrieve a gun, and Tracy ordered him down off the ladder. When Shoulders did not move, Tracy kicked the ladder out from under him just as he pulled the gun, and he shot himself in the head.

Ya know, I like the pacing in this strip now. i remember when Tracy was in that granery with Dr. Mordred for two and a half months.

Themesong has been stunted in her growth? She appears to be twelve, which dosn’t make sense, even in comic strip,time! Make her look almost twentysomething!

I meant at least twentisomething! Is poor Pat the only person who ages? Are a sign that the Authors plan to pension him?

I guess you haven’t notice that Themesong bares an almost striking likeness to “Melody”, the air-headed drummer of pop group Josie & The Pussycats.

…And your post is not???

Chuckie be a Huntard…bet he can’t wait to whack up on some Pandas…
