Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for October 02, 2019

Do Mike and Joe have a side gig as tobacco industry spokesmen? The amount of nicotine in Tracyville is astonishing, Sam not withstanding.

No way Lou Grant’s teeth shouldn’t be a dark shade of yellow/brown/green.

Good morning™, secretive fiends!

The crazy GoComics cigarette colouring continues! Now I know it’s not part of the plot.

Again with the lit cigarette filter?Neil can you ask Joe what’s going on?

Good morning™, backward cig smoking villainesses !

At least the old man is doing the cigar correctly since you can technically start it from either end. I wonder what nefarious turn of plan is brewing in that fat head of hers.

Is it that hard to pencil and color a cigarette? The long side is the part that is supposed to be smoldering.

I wonder what she has planned?

We haven’t got a side story interrupt to an arc lately and I think it’s coming and I can’t wait to see the comments from my two favourite dissenters.

The artist obviously doesn’t know how a cigarette works. Yeesh!

Watch out Det. Frisk you are a target!!!

Hopefully, lung cancer will get them first.

It seems the artist likes to put “Easter eggs” for readers to comment on, either that, or Tracyville cigarettes have long white filters and short yellow tobacco.

Thurston and Lovey after Gilligan’s Island.

But the filter side is lit, not the tobacco side. Same with Frisk.

1-(At the Primm House) DAN: How’s come I hadda put a real shirt on today Rosy…

2-…Somebody die or sumpthin?

3-ROSY: Same reason I got my best bowlin’ league shirt on – I hadda whachacall premonition our daughter might visit.

DAN: What? It’s been years. You wouldn’t even recognize her. I bet there’s not an ounce of ‘Primm’ left in her.

ROSY (smoking the filter end of her cig): Oh, I wouldn’t say that…

Maybe those two are just “Vaping” the “safe” way to smoke

What a classy pair !

Why is the colorist putting the filters at the lit end of the cigarettes?

I have a better idea too…..have them hire a re-appeared Abner or someone scary to some degree anyways in time for Halloween…..

Judging Frisk’s age, compared to the Howell’s, I’d say that they’ve been doing this since they were about 12. They don’t seem that much older than her.

Clair is the brains of this outfit?! Sheesh! She doesn’t even know how to smoke her cigarette. I can hardly imagine her having three judges in her pocket (or purse) and running a shady, if strictly not illegal, baby brokerage for many years….
