Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for January 09, 2020

Good morning™, admirers!

You only get one guess as to who she’ll end up seducing.

The false Maria in “Metropolis” never had a name.

I do not know if Mysta’s costume was colored right but it doesn’t look right to me. I am not referring to the gold color but which part is costume and which part is skin. I’d love to see how the Tracy team colors it. The B/W version is really good

As Randy Newman once sang, “You can leave your hat on.”

Joe did a good reading.

Good morning™, daddy’s little Kandi girl !

As if Mysta doesn’t already look good; the suit makes her look every bit a goddess, too good for walking among us mere mensches.

Methinks Mr. Roboto will get a brutal shock if he tries to rob the theater.

WOW! I didn’t think Mysta could get ANY hotter! She is absolutely stunning in today’s strip. I am looking forward to seeing the coloring in Sunday’s strip also. I’m so happy to see Mysta back in a lead story! Thank you Team Tracy. I wonder if Tracy will ever seek her help in fighting crime as he did his daughter in Law back in the day.

Is Vitamin’s middle name Harvey?

I admit I’d love to see a showdown between the saccharin Queen and the fake moon Maid.

Now THAT would be awesome!

Better not count your productions before they hatch, Vitamin, someone awaits in the wings!!!

The profile is much better.

Could this be foreshadowing the end of Vitamin Flintheart?

That is indeed a stunning portrayal . I’ll have to get the DVD of Metropolis sometime, and I’ll certainly be thinking of Mysta now (giggles)

So interesting!

1-BARBER POLE: WAIT A MINUTE. When you dumped me for the BP9000, I didn’t know it would have Handles inside it!

SUGAR DADDY: Don’t worry about it. Here. Have a cookie.

2-BARBER: Is it raisin?

SUGAR DADDY: No, BUT IT’S A QUIVERING! AIIIIIOOOOOGAAAA!

BARBER: Oh for the…spare me your ancient vaudeville routines please!

After five years of marriage, Maria will look like Dot Matrix to Roboto.

“The False Maria is a seductress. I think Mysta’s nailed it.”

Mysta’s been nailing that role since her very first appearance in the strip.

Kandi compliments Mysta, but she’s really complimenting her hubby for designing Mysta’s costume and casting her in the role. As for Vitamin, I don’t think he’s taking pleasure so much in Mysta’s appearance, as much as he is on what she will do for his reputation and legacy. “MY crowning production.”

Is Mysta-Futura turning the old rogue’s head?! Hey, Vitamin, you and Kandikane are just new parents: don’t forget it!

I am sure all the comments are based on a sincere enjoyment of the modern Dick Tracy. To me, today’s “Dick Tracy” seems as pseudonym. All of the original art and plot magic from the great days when people would rush to the comics page of a favorite newspaper to see the latest resolution of a cliff hanger are gone. This leaves me out in spite of a sincere effort to catch the new charm you all seem to experience.

Kandi is the most sympathetically drawn woman in a Tracy strip that i have ever seen.
