Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for January 24, 2015

Sam sure loves those comic books. (Is this a new thing where GoComics updates an hour later than before?)

Who was that unmasked man?

Their mission cleared, Dick Tracy and Sam Ketchem exit Westview.

Meanwhile …

Everything seems to sync up well enough, with the Tracy portion of the crossover chronologically first.

Still, was hoping the event would be a little more in-depth.

Maybe the Sunday strips will cross over as well.

Good morning everyone. @AnyFace: more depth needed indeed.thanks for posting the crossover. Y’all have an adventurous weekend.

By the way, “Madam Fatal” is a legitimate character from the Golden Age of comics …You Can’t Make This Stuff Up!

Good morning guys!

Is GoComics on Daylight Saving Time now?

Did Dick and Sam pay for thier breakfast’s?

DST doesn’t happen until March 8, so that can’t be the reason.

Wonder what the name of the bank is. Can’t be Westview, Central National Bank perhaps?

Morning, Tracyville!

Tracy and Sam are on their way to the comic book auction, but from reading Funky Winkerbean,we already know that nothing happened there.

@Neil Wick, cpalmeresq and VistaBill: I’ve noticed that also. It is around 2am EST my time when they post. I’m thinking about just going to bed instead of staying up to post. And posting later. Have an eventful day my friends.

Gweedo, I think this is Joe deliberately trying (and succeeding) to make a Westview (=Funky) character look like a native Westviewan; i.e., more in the style of Batiuk!

Now Tracy and Sam can get back to the hometown and get to work on the unresolved crime spree rampaging there (a.k.a. dangling threads)!

DT & Sam both are smiling today, cool!

“The Jumbler” — is that “Jumble Jeff” Knurek? Whose name I’m probably misspelling.

“Madame Fatal” is a character from underground legend Kim Deitch (son of animation director Gene); a transvestite crime-solver.

I’ll read like the wind. Watch me soar—

Too Funky, nothing ever happens round here?

NICE MINI CROSSOVER STORY*-* and now it’s all over . . .

Classic GOULD cycle - Crime, Chase and Capture !And in this story (unlike in the last ;-) ‘reporting’ the results to the Chief of Police

Next panel, BLAMMO! Sam gets impaled by a huge spike and is actually, really, dead.

As many of you know, Mike Curtis likes to put in references to his favorite music as well as “flesh out” the Tracyverse by giving the different characters favorite music, books, and comics. Well Shelley also has some favorites, and she is saddened today to hear of the death of Edgar W. Froese the founder of the German electronic music group Tangerine Dream. We have been listening to the following clip here at the Pleger household for weeks now. It is one of Shelley’s favorite “work music” pieces.RIP Edgar W. Froese. Thank you for your music.

@Tarry Plaguer: thanks for sharing the music my friend.

I enjoyed the music.

BB Eyes, DoubleUp, Blaze Rize, and a new character! Nice to see them! WHAT’S UP, GoComics? We LOVE you more!

Madame Fatal was a real Golden Age character! Okay, up to now, I knew about the reference in the undergrounds. I’m glad I came back to see the rest of the comments. Thanks, Anyface, and JPW for quoting it again.

Just like Jessica Fletcher, Tracy brings crime wherever he goes.
