Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for February 01, 2014

You guys were right on about the pacing yesterday.

Gah is right!

Vitamin popping vitamins, it’s been awhile

Vitamin needs a haircut

“Small, unmarked non-consecutive bills, to be delivered to the abandoned warehouse at midnight. You know, saying that out loud, it sounds a bit suspicious.”

I mean, not a cashier’s check, even? Vitamin is one stupid, gullible guy….don’t give him a passion “egotisical” grounds…..he’s a moron!

I wonder how long it’s been since we saw Vitamin tossing vitamins into his mouth. I think it’s been many years, and I was thinking that we’d never see it again in a new strip, but it’’s great to see him acting like himself.

As for Coffee, I rather hope that his financial advice is not to be handing over $300,000 in small bills to anyone, ever. Just where he would come up with that much cash anyway, I do not know.

Several of you already said it, but when I saw that first panel this morning it sure brought back memories of the old days, and Vitamin’s first appearances in the strip.. His manner of tossing the vitamins into his mouth is his most unique characteristic, along with his colossal ego, which is about to get him into trouble.Coffee is a new character to me. Has he been here before? (There was Coffee Head, but he was a villain.)

I wonder if Coffee is patterned as an older version of Juan Valdez?

This Coffee must be a new character. He doesn’t look like Coffyhead. http://dicktracy.wikia.com/wiki/Coffyhead

Coffee? A new guy, hmm? Would that be Coffee Mugg?Thank goodness Vitamin is back on his mega-vitamins! We were all beginning to worry.Now, if Coffee is as good as Flintheart makes him out to be, maybe he’ll rein in the vain thespian long enough for Mary Perkins and Dick Tracy to show up and formulate a sane plan to trap the bunko-murderers….

Old washed-up thespians never change. From Gould to the current Team Tracy, they knew ’em well!

Perhaps Vitamin should consider smart drinks.

Could be.

Ah, that’s the Vitamin I remember. Poppin’ those vitamins. I could be wrong, but I think that’s the first time we’ve seen that in this and another Vitamin episode or two previously.

Could that be Sheriff Roy Coffee from “Bonanza”?______________________

…or Joel’s and Rufus’s friend from Gasoline Alley…

Good afternoon everyone…

If Coffee and Vitamin can locate 3D, he might be willing to open his satchel with $150 million and assist them.

Coffee gets around, and you will see him again. Elsewhere. Cue the mystery music.

Good morning, all…
