1. over 13 years ago on Dick Tracy

   I’m very new to Dick Tracy; I started in on the Locher comics. I know the Fifth is an old character, but I kinda wish he had lived, because it seemed to me he was kind of Dick Tracy’s “Professor Moriarity” if you know what I mean. He has the hat, but it covers his eyes making him sinister, and his signature colors are blue, where Dick’s is yellow. I would like to see a character that is an Anti-Tracy. Tracy, if he were a bad guy. Something like that. But I really like the story, and the artwork. Especially the artwork. A very nice style. And I don’t mind the coloring either.

   I would just like to say that I really like the artwork and pacing of this comic under the new people. Nice work guys.

   I just noticed that all the men characters are squinting. But VERY nice artwork from the new team, and a late farewell and thanks to Dick Locher.

   Dr. Mordred is definitely more chatty this time around. Last time he played the silent and sinister game, and even his froggy mask always seemed to have a scowl on it’s face.

   Next week, Dick will shock and amaze by predicting everything Mordred will say.

   Dr. Mordred: “You and all your law enforcement people think”

   Dick: “Think it is so simple, yeah yeah. Tie you up and think it’s the last we’ve seen of Dr. Mordred! Yeah yeah, whatever.”

   Dr. Mordred: “… Well I still have a trick up my sleeve!”

   Dick: “What, you mean the four car with four flat tires? Yeah, I know.”

   Dr. Mordred: “…Bing!”

   BillThompson said: I don’t know how the continuity screw-up happened, but even money says it involved the phrase “I dare you …”

   LOL

   I think the only reason the Naperville police keep Dick around is to use him as bait. Dick lures the villain out of hiding and then the professionals move in.

   Also this Dick sort of reminds me a certain Fearless Fosdick, except Fearless knows how to use a gun.

   Also who cares to guess how Locher will incorporate some kind of Christmas pun or joke into the dialogue:

   “Mordred’s heart is like a hardened lump of Christmas coal…”

   (remember the “Halloween witch” comment in the last story arc… maybe his wife did look like a witch, yes, but why specifically a Halloween witch?)

   Also is may be that the reason Mordred looks down in panel 3 is because of all the verbal abuse he is being put through. “Human debris”, “Psycho”, etc. etc. Even pyschotic serial killers have feelings!

   What if in a plot twist, it turned out that Dick had been put under hallucinatory drugs by Dr. Mordred, while the good Doc prepared to perform nefarious experiments on the clueless detective? And Dick was imagining all of this? Dick will wake up five weeks from now, after we have repeated this same story sequence just as many times, and the two stooges (that guy with the weird chin and his lady friend) will break into Mordred’s lair and save the day. And what if all these cops Dick keeps meeting up with turn out to be Mordred’s goons?

   Mordred looks kind of down… Maybe he’s depressed that he is in this comic strip, wondering, perhaps, where it all went wrong.

   Why would Locher redraw the whole scenario over again from different angles and slightly different dialogue? I mean seriously. What is he thinking?

   I am going to guess, and I might be a wrong, but I bet you that something is going to happen to keep Tracy from getting to his destination… Maybe something like, 2 cars with flat tires… No, wait! 4 CARS WITH FLAT TIRES! 4 cars with flat tires blocking the road. How could I predict something so specific as that? Call it a wild hunch…

    This is the plot that neeeever ends, it just goes on and on my frieeeends. Locher started drawing it ‘cuz he didn’t know what it was, and we’ll all go on reading it forever just because, this is the plot that neeeeever ends…
