Coming Soon 👀 At the beginning of April, you’ll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
Yesterday avenger told gweedo,The Dick Tracy comments board was once the place to be and now it’s a shell of it’s former self. The biggest topic is, “Good morning, how’s everyone doing?”-——————————————————————————————-.avenger, I do not want to offend you but I must give my opinion. For me, I am fine with the current comments. When I say, “Good morning…”, it is sincere and my way of participating every day. Otherwise, unless I have something to say, I try to stay out of the way.
Yup, Specs used to be a not-very-important member of the Apparatus, now he’s wanted internationally. Besides not knowing what’s going on around him, though, it was following the advice of Spicy that got him into this particular situation. She ought to take a little bit of the credit for stupidity.
Specs and Mendoza both decidedThier conversation from Tracy they needed to hide itAnd since he apparently only knewEnglish they realized what they should doSpanish is the language of romanceThe names of food and the Tango danceBut stupid is as stupid doesSo Mendoza decided to remove the glovesAnd let this geek know what was the dealWatch his step or some pain he would feel.
Gweedo reinforced,And here we go with yet another Good Morning, Bill-——————————————————————-.Gweedo, good morning to you, too. There is no way I will discontinue my daily “Good morning” postings. So there. Make fun of me if you choose, I will not change. Back to bed now that I have had my say.
Old news, but has everyone here seen the “Chester Gould: An American Original” documentary?
Both Max Allan Collins and Dick Locher appear in it, and both look great for their respective ages – I’d have pegged each as at least a full decade younger than they actually are.
Speaking of stupid, why is Spicy wearing a long sleeved turtle neck shirt with a vest, while everyone else is sweating it out in their shower sleeved Hawaiian shirts?
Are you wanting to go back to the days when half the people were getting banned for arguing, insulting the old artist/writer on the strip, insulting the new artist and writer on the strip, and pretending to be the old artist/writers of the strip?
No thanks. I will bypass a dozen “Good Morning” from Mr Vista Bill and Rikki to enjoy a poem or two and some thoughtful comments by others, before going back to all the fighting that use to be on this board.
Good morning Avenger09 and of course course Mr Bill.
i agree-i used to read the comments-they used to be interesting and some were funny-now it just sounds like a bunch of old guys passing the time of day in an assisted living daycare center ( and im 74 myself so i know what that sounds like-DULL)
At the risk of agravating sensitive souls, good morning VB and all!
While the discussions may not be as heated as once before, perhaps it’s the lack of “trolling” and tongue in cheek commentary on the past state of the art and storylines. At one point a comment board game was created by a fellow I recall as Sparky. Magpies, pigs on wheels – frankly the board had become the reason to gather, not so much the strip.
I for one am just fine with the courteous tone and enjoying the reborn strip. There is and always has been a treasure trove of contributors with a depth of knowledge in Tracy’s past who are more than willing to share.
But hey – I’m old and don’t like watching reality shows with folks badgering each other over the fabricated conflict.
Specs is not so stupid, for at least he knows he is a fool. I like the way Specs’ specs are once again in keeping with the situation. His lenses flame in the hot Cuban sun. Well said, jz27wk. Good poem and sentiments, Night-Gaunt49. Spot on, IGoPogo4. Good day to all DT fans.
The comic relief of Specs’ admission in panel 3 tends to gloss over the dire situation in which they (Specs and Spicy) find themselves. That drone hovering over Tracy’s shoulder (panel 1) could be—probably will be—a lifesaver. But today’s shadow-figures lurking in the background indicate that Mendoza has a lot of firepower on hand, and it may be more than Wunbrow and Ivanov can handle without significant backup….
Good morning, VB and the rest of the usual suspects!
There’s nothing wrong with this forum. The number of comments seems related more to which characters are being featured. Prime example: anything to do with Moon Maid, Honeymoon, Notta, Bribery, and the Space Era always get this place jumping.
A couple comments – first I used to have the ShrunkenHeadsofMrBribery handle but it went to a discontinued email address.
As such, I have LOVED the return of MrBribery and his rose. Thank you very much Mike and Team for such a great return of one of Gould’s best, and with a story line that was fitting for such a bonkers character.
Same with Ms Chin Chillar; I long thought she would be a great return character. I would have speculated here with the usual suspects, but others have done it better.
Anyhow, I hope this is one of the days Mike reads the comments. I really enjoy where this has all gone. There have been some slow stories but nothing like a Gouldian multi-year tangent (Perfume & Dale Plenty?). The close up of the drone harkens back to their 70’s heyday, the return to Cuba.
While Mr Bribery is without his corrupted smoking cat, the idea of an AI implanted Matty Squared shrunken head sidekick gets the total thumbs up from TheShrunkenHeadsofMrBribery!
… the “Chester Gould: An American Original” documentary?

Loathe though I am to admit it, Spicy’s turtleneck does seem to be quantum fluxing between a “dark” and “not dark” state.

At least Specs accepts reality and not on denial. :)I think Specs and Spicy are in deep trouble now.
