Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for November 13, 2012

Good morning all…

Something about this contest is not right.

Good morning, VB! Yes, strange indeed.

NOW you notice?

Gad, sometimes I wonder about some people . . .

Wondering how this will fit into the story?

Strange days indeed, most peculiar mama!

This also wouldn’t be the first time that Vitamin was the unknowing dupe of some conman and left holding the bag (I can’t recall the specifics, but, I did read a DT story arc where this happened)

Jumping from one cartoon strip to another doesn’t happen too often!

i cant decide who’s nose is “broken” more.. tracy’s or vitamin’s! lol! anybody know how tracy got his “distinctive profile”? as for the story… a LOT of tracy’s best stories started out rather oddly, i’m more than willing to give this one about..oh i dunno.. SIX WEEKS to pan out! lol! btw does this mean that walt and vitamin will be spending thanksgiving at the tracy household? imagine THAT scene… the tracy’s and the plenty’s gathered around the table giving thanks, walt wallet wondering why he isnt with skeezix and clovia, vitamin flintheart (my new nickname for him is THE HARBINGER… nothing good comes along when vitamin is around lol) hanging out with godson joe, and in the kitchen… MOON MAID PULVERIZING THE TURKEY WITH HER MALLET!! ++SIGH++ it warms the heart doesnt it? lol :)

This gets curiouser and curiouser.

I much prefer Tracy calling Vitamin by his first name rather than his last (8/24). He did help deliver Tracy’s son after all.

My deja vu reminds me ot Sherlock Holmes and “The Red Headed League”.

Obviously, Vincent Price didn’t enter the contest.

Does the phrase “Red Headed League” ring a bell? Read Conan Doyle’s story to get the point.

Surpassing strange, indeed! More things, Horatio, and all that. Vitamin probably lent his name and face to the contest for a fee and has otherwise nothing to do with it. Seems like it may have been a scam; we shall see….

Good Morning Detectives and Contest Judges!Something crooked? Fixed contest that some bookies had some money on? Hmmmm…..

Well what do you expect? Friday the 13th falls on a Tuesday this month!

I apologize for typos in the above post. There is no edit function once the comment has been submitted, and, as often happens, I didn’t see the mistakes until I had “pushed the button”.

It’s a shame we’re seeing more of the venerable Walt Wallet in Dick Tracy than we are in Gasoline Alley.

SDM, you leaked it that you have cartoonist experience! That makes quite a few on this board!

The browser I use on both my travel laptop and home desktop is Firefox, and misspellings in these text entry boxes are always unlined in red. Something to consider if you’re horrible at spelling like we all are at times?

Great cross-over.

Where’s Lizz? At the rate her hair was growing, it could be down to her waist by now.

They haven’t got to the part yet where he has to send in $500 for processing of his $5 million prize??

I guess the story is true, Walt wouldn’t accept a one-year deal from Gasoline Alley because he wanted a long-term contract, so he became a free agent.Rumor is that he might replace Linus in Peanuts.

There has to be a crime somewhere in this.

I don’t get it.

Nice way of manipulating posts. Insult me (typical), then delete the offending post and feign innocence. Should have known better than to fall for your tricks. Forgot my first rule: Do Not Feed the Troll.

“I really don’t know why you’re allowed to continue to insult me Day -Day 2001. I’m just trying to be a contributing member of this esteemed comments board. I don’t think I deserve to be treated so poorly.”No, actually you’re here to stir up trouble, as you always have. After a few days of sweetness and light posts, you’re back to your old habit of posting offensive pics and animated gifs (which you did earlier today, though mercifully the gocomics admin or you have now removed them), making rude comments, and feigning outrage / demanding justice when someone calls you on your behavior. You don’t think you deserve to be treated so poorly? IMO you don’t deserve to still have your gocomics account, given your actions over the last few months. But that’s not my call.

You were only eligible if you were at least 120 years old

…..I believe it says “comment on this STRIP”…..not insult each other on an almost daily basis….c’mon guys, bury the hatchet, and start over……you’re probably all good dudes in real life!

A lot of people mentioned Vincent Price, today. But wasn’t Vitamin originally based on John Barrymore?

Walt Wallet – the next Tracy supervillain?Hey Davey didn’t look the part, either. ;)
