Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for October 16, 2016

Mysta has a bone to pick with a clueless politician

Bellowthon derides and sneers, displaying no contrition

For her foul intolerance of those not just like her

Lunarians her bailiwick, both sandpaper and burr.

They give her pain, those not the same. Lunarians stand out

Her views so un-American, she bullies, fumes and shouts

“I shall end the menace! Let the hearings now commence

To sponge away those not like me: a cleansing and a rinse.”

Mysta’s heard this tune before. Most Others know the chords

“Be grateful there are lynching laws; content with your rewards.”

Mysta has her say this fateful day, it falls on deafened ears

Bellowthon consumed by hate. Xenophobia drives her fears.

Later she’s discovered, a victim of murder so foul

Upon her face no trace of grace, just a twisted dying scowl.

_

Good morning guys!

I wish we had seen that twisted dying scowl. Great imagery, Pequod.

Circumstantial evidence can lead one astray

Mysta might definitely rue this day

To yell and scream might feel momentarily cool

But the end result might leave you feeling like a fool

Fortunately for Mindy she’s got a friend in a high place

Who’ll turn over each stone to resolve this tough case

Mysta’d be wise to put her zapper on hold

As Tracy investigates how Bellowthon turned cold.

So where is Mysta now?

1. I can’t remember the last time I responded to anything you’ve posted.- Neither can I, no argument there.

2. my friend- Well thanks good buddy.

3. I’m wondering why you’re calling me out here.- This confused me. Nothing I’ve said recently is incorrect. All I’ve done is state the obvious, you’re a huge fan of PQ’s. Hey, so am I. He’s my hero. He’s the reason I started composing my own poems.

4. you’re supposed to be a Christian, right?*- Thanks for asking. I am most definitely a Christian. Jesus is my Lord snd Saviour. I am a sinner saved by God’s grace and washed in the precious blood of the Lamb. Why do you ask? My faith shouldn’t be a problem with my participation on the comments board, is it?

.

I’d like to wish you and all the other PQettes a good night!

Well, we have a confirmed death here. Normally, I’d be updating and reposting my death list today. Too bad I can’t thanks to GoComics’ stupid, asinine, contemptible, vile, loathsome, repulsive, despicable, idiotic, oppressive character limit.

A room’s waiting for you downtown, Mysta…

When they notice a puncture mark, DT will put one and one together, and will now start paying close attention to Selfy.

Coffee was lucky he did not end up like Bellowthon.

Whoever pulls the strings must be very happy on how things went. The death of Bellowthon with Mysta as the prime suspect will have a better effect than the passing of the bill. A murderous out of control Mysta might fan anti-Lunarian sentiments that the bill was intended for.

Who is the puppet master? Bribery?

Great poem, Pequoud

Love your rhymes today, avenger09

Neil, no more storyline map on your site? I mean for the current story.

Uh oh, trouble brewing for Mysta. At least Sunglasses seems to be a straight up kind of guy and not biased against her.

If a clown is alone in the woods, is he still scary?

Bozo

Senator Bellowthon’s demise might be the rarest sort of death in the Dick Tracy Universe, that is death bey natural causes. Se may have died of a stroke or heart attack after her argument with Mysta.

Great poetry, PQ and Av! A double-treat! When the white whale gets to the coroner, I would hate to be the unlucky person appointed to do the autopsy. Tracy prolly called for the coroner’s team to bring a forklift to load her up.

Bellowthon was a true Trump-ett…

But on a positive note the scary clown mystery was solved.

Tracy and Sam are on the case. Mr. Sunglasses informs them that Mysta confronted Bellowthon verbally. We know that Selfy was also on the scene. Who was there trying to protect Honeymoon and who was there in the aftermath of the Representative discovering his financial improprieties? I’ll wager all that Mysta is innocent. Sam photographs the crime scene. I’ll wager the detectives get their man. Here’s where I might have dropped in a panel of Mysta risking her life to come to Honeymoon’s aid at Ace Tower, or Sam and Tracy gathering evidence at a previous crime scene. Here’s hoping the draconian “no pictures whatsoever” policy is under review.

Thanks to Willy007, Ray Toler, Vista Bill, Night-Gaunt49, Gweedo, Jonathan K., 22ph, Neil Wick, Chris Sherlock, Morrow, JPuzzleWhiz and ave09 for the kind words. Very much appreciated! No need for sarcasm: “glee club,” “PQettes”? Willy was right to speak up. I’ll leave it at that.

Why don’t the Bigfoot enthusiast bring back some Bigfoot scat (poo)? We could test the Bigfoot DNA and solve the mystery right there. I mean, if a Bigfoot is in the forest, it’s not like he digs his own latrine.

Sideshow Bob from The Simpsons?

@AnyFace, Ken in Ohio, Chris Sherlock, JPuzzleWhiz, Ray Toler, . Thanks for the support. I’m going to be typing up something for Aaron Weber that should prove interesting.

Bellowthon looks like she has a wedding band on. Will we meet the hubby? Imagine if the story arc goes towards him seeking revenge against Mysta who he thinks killed his wife, forcing her to go into hiding. I think that would be pretty exciting.

How do you even make spaces these days?

Mr. Sunglasses seems to have learned his political-speak well from his mentor, the late great (as in Great White, etc.) Bellowthon. He tells half the story of what he knows as though it were the whole truth instead of a half-truth. I don’t expect him to continue his account and to include reference to Selfy’s presence lurking in the shadows outside Rep. Bellowthn’s office upon his return from his lunch break. For reasons best known to himself only, he is selectively omitting mention of Narcisse while at the same time deliberately pointing his remarks in the direction of Chimera. Maybe he hopes to succeed to the Congressthing’s chair and has struck a deal with Selfy (even if there was some duress imposed by the latter)….

Woo! Still plenty of heat over the comment limitations.

In plain sight …

A wedding ring.

Where exactly was the spouse during all of this …?

I’m sure there’s a name for ‘em, I just don’t know it.

Testing

Testing

Let’s try this again.

You can find what I’ve posted here.

Somebody had posted additional code to use instead of the period, which would ‘read’ as invisible

.

For now, I can live with the period.

Was it Ray who’d suggested some sort of organized protest over the comment restrictions?

Rather than avoiding the site, maybe we could devise a signature line, pick a date – with a decent amount of lead time, enough to let as many commentators know as possible – and have everyone add the signature line to each of their posts?

Suggestion …

Free Speech Has No Character Limit.

Might add something about images, too.

Just a thought.

Think I might start adding that to my posts, regardless.

“Free Speech Has No Character Limit.”

Just came across this AMV, it sort of underscores the changes to the message boards a little bit …
