Welcome, welcome one and allā¦..Everybody loves to me FIRST..Me, too..So, here it is. My well wishes to the āOld Gal,ā as she fades into obscurity. The days of the daily āadventureā strip have always been numbered and with more and more GREAT STRIPS like āCul de Sacā gone away, Iād like to be the FIRST to wish her well..The New Tracy-ophants have done their best. Sometimes hitting it out of the park, sometimes striking out, but they always tried their best. When itās been good, itās been fun, but ehā¦. A good effort put in by all. Good job, Tracy-holics!.But how long could it lastā¦. With only a couple of dozen newspapers running the strip, (Two dozen at the most), we all saw this coming. None of us liked ANNIE going away, (just look at her last dayās comments). Even the steadfast BRENDA STARR had to go kicking and screaming into the void..So off you go old gal, we had fun. Now donāt look back. We had it all but we lost it. Itās not original, butā¦ā¦. Iād like to be the FIRST to say, āSee you in the Funny Pages!!!ā...
.Now donāt get your panties in an uproarāā Dick Tracyās NOT gone away today. But the writings on the wall. Just count how many daily story comic strips are left. Not many. And with only a couple of dozen papers printing the Dick Tracy strip daily, it canāt be profitable for the Chicago Tribune any more. Not at all..And come on, We all love to be the FIRST poster on anything. So, you can call me ahead of my time. But Iām the FIRST. Iām the FIRST..Hereās my send off to the old gal, ā¦ā¦she had her day didnāt she.And if you care to re-read those Classic stripsāā- check out the truly Giant books published by WWW.IDW to see how Gould made his mark back in the day in the then thriving comic strip marketplace. There are at least six Big volumes, maybe more. With Fantastic introductions written by MaxAllen Colins. He describes eloquently how Gould successfully wrote and drew a profitable Dick Tracy comic strip, published in Hundreds of Thousands of newspapers Worldwide!.Gould truly was a visionary. He knew how to cook a strip, oh boy!And there even was an okay movie made by that awful Warren Beatty in the roaring 1990ās.So off you go Old Gal, weāll remember you well. 10-7-2012 = FIRST Official Obit (the FIRST)..Good boy.Good boy. ruff, ruffYAY ME! Iām the FIRST to post. (The last days that is) ...ā¦ā¦.first to post.
