Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for November 10, 2016

Based purely on proximity in-story, the hypothesis that Posie might be ‘reaching out’ to his long-lost, genetically altered daughter begins to gain traction.

Always love seeing Diet puffing away on one of his stogies.

Good morning, Hop along Bill !

…and fellow Moons gazers !

Can they stop Honeymoon from sending telepathic messages to Mysta? Mysta can decline her messages but I do not think she can stop Honeymoon from doing it. Honeymoon is on a rebellious mood and looks like she would do what she wants to do regardless of what other people say.

We just got a few seconds of earthquake. Shook my table really well… Nothing to be alarmed with… a fairly common occurrence from where I am.

Honeymoon certainly doesn’t look like SHE’S signed off on this agreement

I can unddrstand why Junior is trying to protect HoneyMoon, but why is he acting as if Diet is Mysta’s Daddy ???

Great art. The two-panel format gives us a prime vantage point in Diet Smith’s office. Time is likely to reveal that Honeymoon is right to be displeased with Junior’s restrictions. There is sure to be an emergency, as this is Tracytown. Junior is speaking to Smith, but the information is for us.

So Tracyville is supposed to be a Chicago-sized town of several million people, right? We have this mysterious guy Posie – who is probably a moon person in hiding – playing in a weekly poker game. The other members of this game just happens to be friends with new regular Vic, who is hiding Selfy, a person was working for a Congresswoman who was seeking to persecute moon people like Posie, What are the odds off that? LOL

Today’s installment is highly suggestive of the pilot episode of Bewitched! Mysta and Honey – you been practicing that hose twitch?

Mysta is an Earth woman who has been genetically modified and is becoming a Lunarian.

What if “Posie” turns out to be a Lunarian disguised or modified to look like an Earth man? He may also be wearing that hat to hide his antennae.

What if “Posie” turns out to be the Moon Governor? That would be something!

It looks like it may be a little difficult getting Honeymoon to cooperate with the plan.

.

Good morning guys!

.

Late start today. Honeymoon does not like the 911 only restriction, it appears.

We assume Mysta’s and Honeymoon’s telepathy is something that can be turned on and off.

.

If telepathy is a natural ability, then it works like touch, sight, smell, and the other natural senses we all have. Suppose someone told you to suspend your sense of smell. Could you do it? You might try to ignore an unpleasant odor but you would not cease smelling it. If someone speaks to you, you may ignore what they say but you cannot keep from hearing it. Could you limit your senses to only emergency use?

.

And if Junior and Sparkle are so worried about this, why is it Mysta and not one of her parents consoling Honeymoon?

Let’s not forget that Mr Bigg/Bribery was behind the Mindy/Mysta transformation, and certainly has the resources to try again on somebody else — especially somebody closely related to his original subject. Posie could easily go along with such a deal if Mr B had the clout to spring him from prison. There might be an interesting dramatic reveal down the line when Posie removes his hat and shows us his . . . .

I wonder what happened to Retik and Stellaluna.

We got a SuperMoon coming up..

I’m posting this again for anyone interested who may have missed it yesterday.

You can read the original Posie and Mindy story at the ilovecomix Directory. It begins on July 19, 1968.

Junior says “we’re all agreed,” but Honeymoon’s facial expression makes it clear that this is only at most reluctantly “agreed” as far as she is concerned; if she were a little older, she would probably rebel and not agree at all. Mysta is as a Big Sister to her, the role-model up to whom she looks.

I’m not sure how much influence over Mysta even Diet would have in such a delicate and intimate matter as the Lunarian telepathic ability and linkage. But it is true that finding out who the Third Party is that attempts to link, and whether that Third Party is friendly or not, is paramount….

Maybe Posie will find out what happened to his beloved daughter and seek vengeance on Bribery…..

Honeymoon’s cute when she pouts!
