Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for November 12, 2011

Good morning all…

‘Neither a borrower nor a lender be’, Vera.

’Morning, VB!

Morning VB! Glad to see Vera again. I was hoping that he’d have a big role in this story.

Vera, don’t go that route! You’re looking for trouble from the Tracy family!

The dude’s a WORKING ARTIST and he’s complaining?

Perhaps he’d be happier flipping burgers.

HEY MOM! SOMEBODY ALREADY COLORED MY COLORING BOOK!DA DA DUM… The GoComics colorist strikes again! (evil laugh)

@Tarry: Yus! ;D

Vera I wouldn’t hold your breath.Good Morning VB!

Try clicking on the calendar to go back and reread the story.

So vera can actually draw something other than speech baloons? I’m impressed!

I’m enjoying the story – when I’m not being distracted by the GoComics’ colorists’ mistakes.Maybe after he captures the killer, Tracy could arrest the colorists for vandalism.

Very confusing indeed! To the people who are in Tracy History 500 (Graduate Seminar), they are grooving. To the undergrads, well……. it’s confusing!

I don’t see any issues with the colors…

@Night-Gaunt49 and Rich:

The point is, this is a coloring book. Coloring books are just black and white outlines, so that kids can use crayons, etc. to color them in themselves. This coloring art already is all colored in, and that makes no sense. I also wondered if the Go-Comics colorist even read the script before jumping in with his colors. This is like the old illustration plates in children’s books, where the artist obviously did not bother to read the descriptions in the text before drawing something quite different for the pictures.

Unbelievable ! (?) How comments on this board have gone down hill in just a couple of days.

Only on Nov.10th we had favorable COMMENTS like this :

VistaBill said, 3 days ago :

**"Unbelievable! How much better can this strip get?

Good morning all"**

. . . Could it be the presence of - Vera Alldid ? An unpopular appearance ??

Popullar mythology suggests that Chet Gould’s three most disliked creations were Groovy Grove, Vera Alldid and Peanutbutter *-* in that order !*

As I started to read today’s, I had to check was Locher doing the strip again ?

Give te guys a break.Wr can’t expect them to hit a **"**home run**"** every day ! ;)

What’s with the big ugly watermark in the black & white version at ComicStripNation.com? That isn’t there in the colorized version at gocomics. What is this — we have to choose between ugly random inappropriate colors or a big ugly watermark? :(I tried to post a comment at ComicStripNation but apparently I can’t unless I sign up for something I don’t want to sign up for.-Cougar:{)

The story seems to be bouncing around a bit and isn’t the clearest but I’m still not complaining. Vera coloring in his drawings seems a little odd if he’s making a coloring book. And didn’t he have white hair in the old days?

Thank you Mdstudio! I’ll read it there from now on.-Cougar :{)
