Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for July 29, 2022

yeah, she’s hot for Dick…

No way nervous Marina would refer to Dicky boy as simply “Tracy!”

Set up!

Good morning™, all!

I wonder what the emergency council meeting is about? I suppose I can guess.

It’s lucky for Marina that she gets to spend a little time as tour guide to Tracy. I wonder how she arranged that.

I wonder if Marina is setting up Dick to be abducted and held hostage?… and Dick APPEARS to be taking a shine to her… are both sides running game on one another?… is he perhaps going to allow himself to be abducted, so that he can be led to the faction?…

Poor Tess, home all alone while her husband is schmoozing away with some ditzy moonchick!

Good morning™, trap springers !

What firestink said up above.

“Three coins in the fountain…”

I doubt we are going to revisit the Tracy/Tess of 1994, but the moon people is an older plotline to begin with….. Lots of coherent moving parts to this story. I hope it keeps momentum.

I smell a setup…multiple setups in fact…..

The sot plickens thomemore

Honey trap………

I don’t find it unusual. All of the Moon people have one word names.

Her puppy dog eyes second panel are hard for Tracy to resist I would think! Like others have said above, watch your step Tracy !

Flirt! (giggles)

Nobody sees this as a giant plot by the Earth-Conquering Conspiracy? Tracy and Marina, Mysta and Ro-Zan, and Honeymoon and that kid I can’t remember the name of. That’s a lot of similar plotline for the three visitors, if it’s just a coincidence.

the game’s afoot

New Moon Valley has an Emergency Council? :)

WAY OFF TOPIC: I really wish AA**z*n would allow you to set your own pricing. Got the Kindle and paperback of OTHERWORLD up yesterday.

I’m sorry, but $11.00 for a little over 400 pages? It’ll take all my inner strength to fork that over for a file copy. And don’t get me tarted o the cover. Current worry is finding a narrator for the 13-hour audio book, and I bet they’ll want a small fortune for THAT.

Is it like the fountain in LOGAN’S RUN?

You don’t suppose this is all just another Tracy dream sequence? An invasion of the Earth seems a bit much for a detective comic strip. Thoughts?

Dick is suddenly regreting bringing his family along on the trip.

And yet, the seems to be a sly smile on Tracy’s face………

Lemme guess… trap?

Woo-wie!! I’m hearing “Marina” from STINGRAY again……

1-DT: Got any more Snail Swirls?

MARINA: Don’t be a pig.

2-DT: I’ve been one for 80 year… oh. You meant the “over-eating” kind.

MARINA: Huh? I’ve been watching a lot Mod Squad. I was referring to your profession. What are you talking about?

DT: You should know that that term is offensive. You shouldn’t say…

MARINA: I SMELL BACON!

DT: Ok. I’m leaving now…

The fountain, I sure hopes it lives up to the hype.

Dicko, you sly old burning hunk of love you. This snoozer is turning into Dallas

I’ll go…I’ll go!!……Take me Marina!

Hmm… had to go a community emergency meeting… Interesting…

Marina’s hair really is great! I want hair like that in PSO2.

Sounds like a setup !!!

Ambassador Thorin has an emergency meeting of the council? Well, isn’t that convenient! Gad, Marina, could you be any more obvious about how much you like Tracy, or are infatuated with the legend of Tracy?

Tracy plays along, but he is, I think, more than experienced enough to see what is going on with the little lunar cutie, and he is faithful to Tess.

Little of substance can come of this non-liaison, unless maybe a tear-jerker fate for Marina as she accompanies/helps/(et cetera) Tracy.

So, what is it about this fountain? Is it some major landmark of New Moon Valley? A public meeting place, like the Trevi in Rome? A periodic display (like a Yellowstone geyser)?
