Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for November 29, 2012

Snicker!

Dick doesn’t need tights.

I’m snickering right along with you, Tess.

Good morning all…

DT’s reputation would be ruined!

Mornin’ all!So that was what made Tess smile yesterday!And I see Joe was reading the Scarlett Sting – the favorite comic book of heroes and villains.

A nice interlude is what we have here. the newspaper is even a more normal color. nice..

Gotta admit DT would be a 1st class super hero, but the tights … I don’t Know. RGIII in tights? Maybe, but not DT!

Gee, we’re almost at the halfway mark for the allowed storytime…..and for Walt Wallet/VitaminFlintheart/Sprang/Robinson/Kane/Broadway Bates/Black Pirahna/Cinnamon Knight to all come together in a storyline…..gotta admire the way Mike responds to a challenge – by raising the stakes instead of caving in to simpler story lines….thumbs up!

I enjoy Tracy’s interludes with his family. They provide variety for the readers.

Kind of looks like a sissy version of Superman

Hilarious!! Dig his crazy Ascot!

Tess’s “minds eye” hit this one right on the head. “Snicker” is right on! I also agree with Ajaxxphat. These family interludes make me continue to care for, and even relate a little to the Tracy clan.

Oh, Tess, I didn’t realize you had such a wicked sense of humor! Snicker indeed! —But I do like the yellow trenchcoat-cape.

Faster than a speeding villain! More powerful than a criminal conspiracy! Able to leap tall granaries in a single bound! Look! Up in the sky! It’s a air car! It’s a Space Coupe! It’s SOOOOOPERTRACY! ;D

joe looks bewildered by his dad’s comment in the last panel, lol.

Tracy seems to be talking as if the Pirhana and Knight were actually criminal-and-crimefighter, when a few strips back he seemed aware that they were just play-acting (safety on the speargun, sword rendered inoperable). Am I missing something here?

Wrap that rascal up in tights Turn a trench coat to a cape. It’s the man inside the clothes, not the outer drape. The thought of Tracy as costumed hero makes Tess suppress a snicker. To get her man out in such garb would take a glass or three of liquor. Go back to your comix, Joe. Let Dad enjoy his paper.Hat’s off to Team Tracy once again for weaving a smile into this caper.

I remember a PSA commercial from the early 70s that featured a Tracy like superhero. I can’t remember what the commercial was for, but if I find it (or if anyone knows about it) I’ll try to post it.

Found it! http://youtu.be/EVx4DA0FDhI

Where is Sunday`s strip???

The fantastic third panel in today’s strip almost makes up for this (so far) lame story arc

Nice trenchcape.

Tracy the costumed crime fighter — I love it!

Howcum we’ve taken this timeout from bustin’ criminals? If they want to model some skin tights, then bring back Moonmaid. But aside from that, I’d really like to see some serious crimefightin’. I know that present “demographics” have morphed, but does Tracy have to also?

So brilliant this strip has become! I’m a big fan of Gould, and loved the early Collins/Fletcher days…but at the risk of speaking heresy, I am currently enjoying it more than I ever have.

hey who posted that pic of SDM riding on Locher’s back?

Don’t know that I would have worded it quite the way that you did, but I agree. It’s about time that we leave Mr. Locher alone.

Can’t be a DT costume without the yellow fedora.

snicker is right, Crack me up!

SDM, since when did the mid-thirties in age suddenly become elderly? Don’t forget those free websites that supply age, amongst other things. Also, don’t forget some people have pics of themselves on their own websites!

One more thing, SDM. If you are indeed “elderly”, as you say, my wife wants to get some of that skin cream and moisturizer you use to get rid of those wrinkles. She says to tell you that if it works as well for her as it does you, she’s got something for you. Your guess is as good as mine!

I like these family scenes. It makes us care more about the characters.
