Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for August 20, 2013

Mysta incognito! This should be good.

Good morning fellow DT fans…

Good call by Mysta, she needed to reach out to the police. Making herself vulnerable on behalf of the Wheatons is a pretty noble minded thing to do. I’m still hoping she recovers her powers and continues as a cast member once this wonderful mystery is resolved. Finally, good morning VistaBill!

LOCK HER UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY(Just kidding :P )

Now, what character from the past is visiting sam?

Poor Sam! He’s reached the point of an obsessive phobia for Fritz Ann! But these “visitors” will provide a more pleasant challenge for the veteran detective. How, in fact, will he react to Clone-Moon Maid? Are there any warrants out for her?

Fritz Ann brought along a friend.

obviously the moon maid cloning process didnt work COMPLETELY.. she looks like a midget standing next to stellaluna

The cloning process didn’t work because there is no clone!.We have yet to be shown one shred of evidence that Sail or Ghote are anything but charlatans. And with a new “assistant” coming on like Moe, Sail and Ghote are looking more and more like Larry and Curly. Or maybe even Shemp..When the series first started, I actually thought Sail might have been the honest doctor. But we now know that’s not true. As for Ghote, we knew he was a hack and a quack back in the days of the fumbled, bumbled (and maybe even Jumbled) Mumbles clone..As for Mysta’s size, Ray Toler has been reminding us, apparently, it’s been taking Mike and Joe some time to get her dimensions correct.

Hope Stephan Pastis forgives my puns.

I was pretty sure he is Roman Catholic – he quoted about marriage being forever – a life(and afterlife) sentence.

If the narrator calls her Moon Maid in panel one, is she really Moon Maid and not a clone?

How do you know he has an overbearing wife? Has she ever been seen in the strip?

jpuzzle, theres DEFINITELY a “doubt about it” as to the tombstone.

mysta tracy’s tombstone was destroyed, and as of right now.. this moon maid lite is simply a clone.. according to what has been printed…. regardless of sail ro ghote’s “questionable reputations”… and until DEFINITIVE PROOF is presented proving BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT that this moon maid lite is indeed mysta tracy… the ORIGINAL mysta tracy mind you.. .then she is most definitely guilty of vandalizm and assault, despite her stopping a mugger and an atm thief

Make that wavy hair… could have sworn it was curlier than that… Thinking of his daughter, I guess

The most serious charges against MM2 are assault on Sparkle and grand theft auto… the first she may get away with, unless someone finds the note MM2 left for Spark (It blew away in the wind), and brings it to headquarters; the 2nd shouldn’t be a problem, with shots being fired, she lost her head and panicked, and anyway, even if she is a fake, Diet will not press charges against someone who may be his “Goddaughter”

no, i’m too busy buzzing around annoying people :)

Big mistake. Mysta seems to be wearing the same disguise she had on when she zapped Sparkle. Even if Sparkle did remember the attack, she hadn’t known it was Moon Maid, but this outfit makes the connection.
