Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 19, 2021

It’s nice to see the two girls again. Crystal has a much nicer appearance.

The unintentional alternate targets of Abner – not to kill but they will be useful to him

It will make Abner’s life really complicated if Mysta will go with the girls.

Good morning™, filler ins !

I guess some more talking parts show what others are doing in anticipation of what will be an anti climax for Abner but a fun night out for them who have no life and death concerns, that is until mayhem at the theater breaks out with Abner coming up snake eyes on Charlie and going off the rails over it. Once he starts he will have to carry through even if all he can do is hold a patron at dart point as a means of escaping.

Next panel: “But if ‘Uncle’ Vitamin invites you into his dressing room for cookies and cake don’t believe him. I knew a girl named Kandikane who fell for that.”

It looks like the girls are getting ready to do their toenails.

I think it is so cute that Crystal gets to call her “Moon Chick.”

Good morning™, all!

I suspect that Crystal’s brown hair is a mistake on the part of the colorist. She could have changed it, but there’s probably no way the colorist would know that she did, so I think it’s probably still that greenish colour that it had the last time we saw her.

Well hello young ladies ! A new twist to our story!

I’m so happy to see them again!

Is it me, or does Honeymoon’s face looks mature for her age in p3?

Star, moon, and she’s looking sunny….

The whole strip today is very well done, toes and all!

Someone needs a father or step-mom to scream, “Don’t do your toenails on the bed! Nail polish never comes out of the covers!” Countless parents have learned this tragic lesson the hard way. Don’t let this happen to you!

It is another twist to the story, that we will find out how this fits in???

Soooooooo many targets for Abner to choose from. The ever annoying Ugly Crystal, the uber aggravating Kandilame, Chuck….hell maybe Frankenmindy will be there and we can hit the trifecta

Of course, get as many cast members into the story as possible, whether needed or not?

1-Drinking perfume is a great way to buzz! And your breath smells so good for days!

2-How about we “Fragrance Up” and go see Sugar Daddy’s new play on Opening , Closing Night? We can throw Ju Ju Beans at him again when he’s really hamming it up!

3-Moony: Yeah! It’s always so funny when it’s just us and Tracy there and he can’t figure out who’s tossing the Ju Jus. And he tells US to keep an eye out for the culprits! Now, what sounds good for the occasion – Channel or something low rent like Jontue…*BURPPPPP!* Oooh! That smells good!

Please keep Crystal as a co-starring character!!

Please, stop throwing stuff against the wall in order to slow things down. Jeez. We need these two like another hole in the head

I suppose after everyone Vitamin knows attends opening night, word of mouth will insure every show will be sold-out.

At least Moon Chick and Crystal do not have to go to this play as part of a class assignment.

Today’s scene resembles a throw back to the 1960’s…. a slumber party. Generation-X, the Millennials and Generation Z would wonder what am I talking about.

Hmm…maybe I should have said “sleep-over”.

Nice to see the ‘tweens at home doing ’tweeny things like painting each other’s toenails! And of course they plan to be present at The Tempest’s Opening Night for Uncle Vitamin! And thus the plot thickens. We know Abner and Rikki plan to be there, mistakenly expecting Charlie 21 and Tracy to be in attendance when in fact they will have been at the Dress Rehearsal; presumably, Tracy and Sam will have been accompanied by their wives., So, either the girls on Friday will be on their own, or possibly chaperoned by Mysta Chimera—though I really don’t expect her.

What, then, might ensue? Frustrated yet again in his assassination plan, Abner may as an alternative seize Honeymoon as a hostage, to draw out Tracy (and maybe 21 with him). I see no reason why he’d want Crystal, too (unless as a necessary part of a Package Deal). More likely, Crystal would be left behind to report to Tracy how she’d seen Old Horrorface and his Dolly take the Tracy girl. Dick and Sam would know who these were. Kadaver might not have it so easy as he’d hope; Honeymoon is quite capable at self-defense, and if surrogate “Mom” Mysta goes vigilante, his demise might be hastened considerably!
