“Anyway, I guess my joke-prediction about the next story arc not beginning until the middle of August is in danger of coming true.”
It’s The Long Goodbye. This has to drag on until more or less Sunday before the new adventure kicks off. Sorry to repeat myself – but hey, this is Dick Tracy – it’s a flaw of this type of strip, trying to run a story that can be followed during the week or from Sunday to Sunday.
Which begs the question: if a reader can follow a story every Sunday, why bother checking it out during Monday through Saturday?
Okay, so they can remember a plot twist at the beginning of this banal story weeks ago, but they can’t remember whether Dick was wearing bandages from one day to the next.
Sadly, these mysteries are all that keep me paying attention any more.
I believe it was “rock”, not “rocks”-and the guy with the cell phone must have had an IPhone prototype, judging by the way he is holding it, just like he did the first time through, with his knuckles
Hey, it just occurred to me that Anja Nu is a play of
words on “ingenue.” Is it just my imagination or there’s
less people commenting on Dick Tracy now?

Surprised me, too. G’morning margueritem.

Uh but then again Sam lately this whole strip has been a loser. Good Morning fellow night owls/early birds/sockpuppets.

How does this harassment constitute “hyping” the play? Was it covered by any media outlets? No? Then it wasn’t hype.

Maybe the Tribune can save some money…

Body? What dead body?
Dick Tracy: “I know nothing about a body on any stage. Do you?”
Liz: “I haven’t got a clue.”
Sam: “Don’t look at me. You mean there’s a corpse out there we overlooked? Naw, it can’t be…”

Well, somebody had fun in this strip, getting their rocks off.

Sam’s comment is lame in so many, multi-layered inter-dimensional ways it’s hard to fully fathom it’s essential lameness

Liz(z) finally said something that takes her out of the “bimbo” class: she said “nonsense”. Good for you, Lizzy! You are two legs up on Macy!

enough of this story end it all ready. how about a new story?
CougarAllen over 14 years ago
Well, that refutes my explanation of why the body on the stage seems to have been forgotten. :(

There’s less people commenting now, I think more of us are falling asleep reading the strip
Araldite over 14 years ago
Time for a new story and more nonsense.

“I guess?” Dick’s not much of a detective these days, is he?
SimonPenn over 14 years ago
Dick Tracy’s about to start a NEW adventure. Great story with the CLASSIC Dick Tracy villian, The Blank. A classic.
Looking forward to all the further adventures. Hope to see more stories with Sam, the Chief and some classic Dick Tracy villians!
Just about the first thing everyone reads on the gocomics site. Keep the fun adventures coming! We are all reading it everyday and love the fun strip!
Maxine_Viller over 14 years ago
That wasn’t the CLASSIC Blank. And this isn’t the CLASSIC Dick Tracy. It’s the furthest thing in the world from it.
