Awww,,,, I was hoping the story would go into full focus with the Moon Maid story. Now we are going to have to share another story back and forth? Patience…. Dennis…. patience!
When I spoke with Joe last spring at the Charlotte NC comic convention he said the we would probably never see the baby’s face. We joked about it then that he probably was born with B.O.‘s beard as a new borne. Joe would not confirm nor deny that idea but still said we would probably never see the child’s face.
now we have THREE stories running! Moon maid, Measles, and Gravel Gertie and SParkle… i’m betting that SOMEHOW all three are gonna tie together! (maybe measles is keeping mysta hopped up on designer drugs which are causing her distorted memories?) all i wanna know is… WHERE’S PERFUME PLENTY AND B.U. TIFFIL!?!?!?! :)
Yesterday, tconstantine900 complained about the return of old villains like Measles, saying the strip is “imploding under its own mythology” and “this methodology goes a long way deterring new fans.”I disagree completely. So what if you haven’t heard of a character before? Everything you need to know WILL BE IN THE STORY. If the character has a relavant history, it will be mentioned.(I knew nothing of Measles before Sunday’s strip, but it made it clear Measles is a drug dealer with mysterious headaches.) A complete re-boot of Tracy (as tconstantine900 wanted), would erase everything before, and turn away long-time readers (just as DC Comics re-boot of their entire line has turned me off).

I’m going to cast my vote that we never get to see little Attitude’s face. I think our own imaginations do a much better job, and it kind of carries on a great tradition of “unseen characters” such as Sarah and Juanita on The Andy Griffith Show, as well as several others, I’m sure.
While in this forum we’re mostly adults (in years anyway) and I’ve seen far worse, I would be feeling rather uncomfortable if I were sharing this great comic with a child who asked me what that word with the funny * letter was.
“In the name that is all good and holy” – and then, in the same breath, the “F-bomb”- that sure doesn’t compute. There is no call for posting that kind of talk. Grow up and learn how to express yourself with the wealth of legitimate words available to you in the English language!

Will we ever see Lil Attitude? :)

Good morning all…
Will we ever see Little Attitude’s face? No matter at the moment. I want to see Junior’s situation when Moon Maid goes to his house…

Welcome back margueritem!
DayDay2001 over 11 years ago
Absolutely, VistaBill. I have a hankering to see Mysta face off with Junior. Sparks WILL fly!

perhaps BO could show Attitude to Measles,, who would then beg Tracy to arrest him…

Cows don’t give clabber, only raw milk that can be alowed to become clabber. Goolgle it for details.
Sisyphos over 11 years ago
Poor Justin Acre. It just isn’t right for a man’s milk cow to be so put off by a fright. I, for one, hope I never see little Attitude face-on!
mrbribery over 11 years ago
I hope Attitude doesn’t grow up to be a Disfigured Tracy Villain…

BWAH-HAW-HAW! Oh, that’s rich. I love it, but I’ll let Mike explain the cameo, if he cares to. :D

Poor Li’l Attitude was born with a face even a cow cud not love.

Measles swore to kill Gertie years ago. Gotta think that’s going to figure into all this. Hoping the Alien Hottie does too!

Justin Acre is our next door neighbor (if you don"t count the graveyard) and is a friend of many years. Mitch knows him well.

Greetings Detectives!My fiance’s daughter (from a previous marriage) seems to have the mannerisms of Li’l Attitude. Coincidence?

Didn’t Sunny Dell Acres have an overpass above it? I faintly remember it did. Mebbe I’m wrong, though! Help, someone!

@morrowYeah, I always remember it being under a bridge or something.
