Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 02, 2024

what the hell is Rosie up to?…

and all this time Diet has been unaware of Ro’s existence and he acts casually like Thorin having a brother is no big thing?..

Good morning™, everyone!

He says that there are many Lunarians in New Moon Valley, but he avoids saying anything about whether his brother is there. He’s already acting suspiciously.

This plot will be “eclipsed” with “celestial” overtones.

Next question, is Ro-Zan getting a ride back or is he staying?

Mistake #1 – Smith already HAS that Space Coupe. If Smith is as smart as he’s supposed to be he’ll keep his mouth shut and let Ro-Zan dig his own grave.

Good morning™, Trojan Horses !

This thing could be rigged to blow Smith Industries off the map thereby eliminating any meaningful opposition to Robo’s bid for (our) world domination.

YOU CAN’T TELL ME ?!  And why the hell not ?!!!  (I’m suspicious but will keep the happy face on until you are away from me. That’s when I’ll call my good friend Dicky.)

So Tracy didn’t debrief Diet about the adventures in the colony?

Space coop eh. Does with gets free space cheeckens too? Me hopes they is taste just like earth cheecken.

How does Ro-zan get back to New Moon Valley? Call for an Uber or Lyft driver?

Don’t take it…it’s HOT!!!

Well, somewhat tongue-in-cheek I pointed out yesterday that Rozie may be needing to lay low after his jail break.

“How will you get back,” Smith asked. “Need a ride?”

“Oh, don’t worry about me. I plan to stay on earth until a ride picks me up in a day or two. I love sampling your ice cream. I have a hat that covers my antenna so I can pass.”

“Need a place to stay?”

“No. Really I’m fine. If you can give me a ride into town with one of your transport vehicles I’m all set.”

So, Ro-zan, were you planning to walk back to New Moon Valley? I don’t think Uber services that area.

Diet’s funky cigar appears to have smoked up the whole parking lot….

Sounds like a pretty fishy excuse to me.

considering the last time we saw them there was a potential rebellion among the lunarians i fear it may have come up again.

I guess political connections made Rozan a used space coupe salesman like Hunter… lol !

Two thoughts, if Ro-Zan is delivering that coupe to Diet, how is he getting home? And, two, while I’m sure Diet, honest businessman that he is, wouldn’t look the proverbial gift horse in the mouth, will still have the coupe checked from “stem to stern” just to make sure that “needs adjustment” after it’s trip from New Moon Valley. I’m sure Diet’s people won’t find any “inappropriate” hardware during that check, will they?

HA! Panel 1: Diet thinks that “appendage” on the Space Coupe is an ashtray!!!

Diet’s antennae should be up~~

great… does your brother know you’re here? :\

And just HOW is he going to get home?

Hmmm – still no zaps on Bozo’s antennae today. Surely that can’t be a mistake.

1- DOIT: I don’t believe I’ve ever shaken hands with one a you moon-men before. Kinda squishy. RO-ZAN: Oh. Sorry. I was carrying a handful of Snail Snax – I wasn’t expecting to be groped.

2- DOIT: So…what brings you here? RO-ZAN: Ummm…the Space Coupe what an idiot DOIT: I meant “WHY” are you here?

3- RO-ZAN: Then WHY didn’t you say that? geez To answer your question – I’m here to take revenge on Dick Tracy for foiling my plan to kill my brother and take over as Moon Governor.

DOIT: So – you need a ride to Dick’s house? RO-ZAN: You’re very perceptive, Earthling. DOIT: Yep! Ugh…for some reason, my cigar tastes…I wanna say – snail-ly…

A Trojan Space Coupe.

Don’t trust him, Diet.

“I CANNOT tell you,” or “I WON’T tell you”??

First Ro-Zan jams Diet’s transmissions, and now the lame excuse about the whereabouts of Moon Governor and the vague statement about New Moon Valley. Nothing fishy there.

Diet’s spidey sense should be tingling, and I’m not sure it is yet. Doesn’t he know that Ro-Zan recently tried to KILL Tracy?

He’s gonna get a ride back from Ming the Merciless

nd Rosie being known as Ro-Zan, his Royal Squirrliness…

Then how does HE get back to Antarctica?

I still hate this guy……
