Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for July 26, 2021

Wonderful spray on sun tan lotion Mr. Peanut uses!

How much coffee does the MCU drink?

Oh, how I love stories that get bogged down in peanut butter! Yak Yak Yak!

Good morning™, graphic arts stars !

What can Pb do to get Tracy interested ? Hmmmmm…

Seems everyone wants a fast storyline when an involved tale is in progress….except when they get a fast storyline then complain about the details being left out.

Let’s see….we’ve got Honeymoon’s romance, Vera’s kidnapping, Diet’s new invention, Peanut Butter……maybe we need a few more plots thrown in, too?

Good morning™, everybody!

I guess that his friends are producing a video game based on his comic strip.

So he used to live on the West Coast and just happened to be in Tracyville when he noticed that Vera was on a break in the middle of an arc? That’s even more of a coincidence. But like I said, I do accept coincidences in fiction and this is no different.

When I was in my 20s, I rode a motorcycle from Alvarado, Texas, to see a woman in Abilene, about 175 miles away. I didn’t spend the night with her and got a motel room. The next morning, Sunday, I got up and went to the window. In the parking lot were 2 church vans. They were both from the First Baptist Church of Alvarado, Texas.

Just another coincidence.

“How have I been? The Mad Colorist has given me the world’s worst case of jaundice, and you ask how I’ve been?”

I like him. He’s a great guy.

Seems less scruffy than yesterday.

He looked different in yesterdays strip . What , is that " swish" the second frame ? Great images as usual .

“I like these mugs – there were MCU items all over one place I did work for.” LOL j/k!!!

I wonder if Astor and Honey are familar with some of Peanutbutter’s work.

It isn’t said enough, great art. I really enjoy this comic. Thanks Joe and Mike!

1-DT: Well, if you don’t want your old mopping job back, what the hell are you doing here, Homely?

HOMELY: You know, I forget why I came in here. Another effect of that stroke I guess. Anyway, lemme bend your ear a little…

2-…That stroke activated the talent side of my brain and I found out I had a real knack for drawing SO I exaggerated my resume and became a Police Sketch Artist in a different town…

3-…HA! My drawings never looked like the person the victim described! A true artist can’t be hemmed in by convention, ya know. Those drawings DID however result in a lot of convictions. The wrong guy of course but you know better that anybody – the best case is a closed case! Ahhhhh. Good times. Got any donuts to go with this Java?

I read the wiki info page on pj yesterday. Thanks to whoever posted it. Now I wonder what’s happen if pj runs into ysta….

While not a comic-con per se, it feels like it‘s turning into one.

I know the MC’s thought process. Peanutbutter’s skin is colored like peanut butter and his hair looks like chocolate topping. He’s a giant Reese’s Cup.

Let’s hope Pesnutbutter doesn’t wind up in a jam.

He’s like a “Quick Draw McGraw?”

So when he is not over the drawing boards…Homer is a gamer? Are gaming devices going to be introduced in this story?

Yes it is a comic-con, and the San Diego one has finished, so maybe this labyrinthian, uninteresting arc will soon follow suit. I don’t know what this is, but it ain’t Dick Tracy. BTW, gee thanks Neil for keeping the obvious brief.

Joe and Mike have a lot of moving parts in this story line.

Mysta and Vera will be on the island by the time this story gets back to them.

When Vera and Mysta end up on the island will Mr. Rourke and Tattoo great them? (The plane, boss)

“Now, remember: These cups aren’t wide enough to show the entire MCU, so we both have to show a part of it.”

“Got it. Um, why?”

“I’m not sure, but I think it has something to do with the crate of Marvel Cinematic Universe merch that shows up here every month for us to divvy up.”

Looks like Homer got a shave & a haircut between the MCU reception desk & Tracy’s office.

I am never in a rush with comics stories.

Everything has gone blue! The Mad Colorist has his own defective ideas of what we saw in Sunday’s authentic colors. At least “The Wrist” has been cleaned up a bit for his “let’s get to know each other again” interview with Tracy….
