Last Kiss by John Lustig for October 12, 2016

Mysta speaks for what is right. Bellowthon, she points and sneers

Campaign coffers looking thin, the slush fund in arrears.

Time to spew some fierce contempt, so sure to draw a crowd

Facts don’t enter into it, if one is rich and loud.

To judge her game. She has no shame. Mysta sets her straight

She shall protect Imoto-Chan from slander, lies and hate.

Bellowthon sees an enemy. Mysta sees a threat

To her dear friend, Honeymoon. A sin she shan’t forget.

Mysta doesn’t look the slightest bit intimidated by Rep. Bellowcow. Standing up for what’s right!

Well, fatty ol’ batty may buy the farm and it wont be by Mysta. Just wait’ll she catches up with that no good stinkin’ campaign fund thief !

Good morning, Bill !  I can see how the current state of talk doesn’t have you eager for the opening salvos, and if that be true I can’t blame ya !

Fabulous art in two-panel glory makes for a righteous Mysta suitable for framing.

So THAT’S it. Bellow wants to build a huge wall around the planet! (And she’ll make the Lunarians pay for it.)

And Honeymoon is a US citizen, since her father is one. Place of birth doesn’t matter.

Hey! Maybe this story will prompt the apearance of the Lunarians we saw at Mysta’s gravesite.

Assuming the hearings do start, I can’t imagine this is the outfit Mysta will be wearing!

Nice one Pequod.

What’s the cap as to the number of characters in a post? Was it 300? or 500? if it is 300, then the cap seems to be off as Pequod’s post is 441 characters long.

Lady, it would take three mothers working 8-hour shifts to love you.

As soon as the Cialis kicks in my dear.

Shrew/harpy through and through!

For those wanting to post graphics, videos, or links to discuss this story, I have provided a page at http://worldofdt.info/selfy where you can do it. More information is on that page. If there gets to be a large number of comments, I may break it up into several pages, but there is only that one page for now.

Honeymoon Is a natural born citizen due to her Father.

Bellowthon is wrong on point #1, but probably correct on point #2.

Odd there’s been no mention of Joseph McCarthy yet.

The hearings should be a blast, assuming we get to – uh – hear them. :)

Dated a lass like that for a very short time during the 60s sexual revolution…. then traded her in for a lower mileage less demanding one…..

Sit! Roll over! Come!

Veronica Lodge’s relationship with Archie became bitter as the years went on.

Arguing that Honeymoon isn’t a U.S. citizen would be difficult, given that one of her birth parents definitely is a U.S. citizen, unless one made the assertion that there’s a difference between being born in another nation and being born at the midpoint between Earth and the Moon – technically, Off-Planet.

.

It’s a slippery slope, but I’ve seen less defensible positions prosecuted.

Slightly off-topic …

.

Forgot to mention that I went to see Batman: Return of The Caped Crusaders during its one day theatrical release by Fathom Events on Monday. It featured the voices of Adam West, Burt Ward, and Julie Newmar.

.

Burt sounded exactly the same as he did fifty years ago.

.

Adam sounded … well … a little put out, but part of that was story-dictated, I think.

.

They’ve already announced a sequel, with special guest-villain William Shatner as Two-Face.

Good morning fellow DT fans!

I’m guess the Congress-person’s office is the one she has in her district and isn’t in Washington DC, otherwise she couldn’t be actively soliciting.

TBH Mysta IS right, she was born on earth, in the US, and altered to look and act Lunarian, and Honeymoon WAS born to an Earth Father. (Father Junior, wit’ da diocese…)

So far, aside from Coffee’s beating, no one’s been accused of any crime

Yes mistress.

I think I saw this same plot in an old Fantastic Four comic book once.

As is true in real life, things are rarely completely black and white. Mysta did use her powers in a vigilante manner a couple of times. What’s worse, we know that she zapped Sparkle for personal reasons, although I don’t think anybody other than her knows that in the narrative.

Honeymoon’s father is Jr. Tracy. That fact should be enough to shut Bellowthon down on that point.

Bellowthon needs to double check the laws. As the daughter of Junior Tracy, who was married to Moon Maid at the time Honeymoon Tracy was born, Honeymoon, is a 100% legal citizen of the United States

What the hey? Honeymoon is the child of an American citizen, “Junior” Tracy. And it would not have surprised me if Chester Gould had done a strip in which Moon Maid receives U.S. Citizenship. And even if she didn’t, Moon Maid would have become a citizen by virtue of marrying Junior. The only grounds for calling Honeymoon an “Illegal Alien” would be if she were born in space rather than on Earth, and even then she would still have citizenship through her parents.

And as for Mysta’s vigilante activities, isn’t that a matter for the local DA to pursue?

Oh, and something I forgot to mention earlier. I wrote a piece about last Sunday’s strip over on the Daily Kos site that folks here might find interesting:

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/10/09/1579560/-Dick-Tracy-and-Alien-Refugees

While I have always liked Honeymoon, I never cared much for Mysta. Always too quick to anger and lash out with her superhuman powers at those who displease her.

Just imagine for a moment that an alien appeared who could kill and destroy with the point of a finger and used that power at their whim. Wouldn’t it concern you just a bit??

Mysta!!! Be True!!

Darn —its Hillary in a speech !!

Where’s Bievek?

PQ, good poem! Bellowthon (in typical politician style) is focusing on something far less urgent, instead of taking notice of her bag man, Selfy, who is profiting quite well. She needs to direct her attention there. She might get better results.

I haven’t seen anything new posted on Aaron’s blog since the 7th – Am I just stuck on one page or something …?

Why is she wearing a rain slicker, a turban, and a vinyl toupee?

Bold and beautiful Mysta, facing off with her enemy, calling her out for her xenophobia. I love this character!

Some people see Trump, others see liberal fascists. I see neither. Bellowthon is just a typical Washington politician, a self-aggrandizing phony and oligarchist who’s looking to get rich and gain fame at the expense of others. There are plenty of people like that on both sides of the aisle these days.

Glad to see Mysta again, finally! Bellowthon is contemptible. It wouldn’t surprise me if she’s a front for Bribery as some have said.

I like seeing Mysta speak out in defense of Honeymoon. On October 19, 2013, we saw the Lunarians at Mysta Tracy’s grave. I suspect the timing of their visit was not coincidental, as her DNA had recently become active. We know little of Lunarian physiology, but I find the possibilities quite intriguing. If the Lunarians are in possession of a Space Coupe, they could travel far is a short time. The location of their “home base” would be somewhat irrelevant. I would argue that current research and exploration in space is more exciting than the impressive lunar landing of 1969, even though it does not elicit the same fervor. I’m curious as to what a meeting between the Lunarians and Mysta Chimera might mean for our protective heroine.

 

Finally, credit where it is due. While I am not happy with the recent changes (why does the posting of pictures have to be an “all or nothing” policy?), I see that a share option has been added. I like this addition. While not much of a facebook user, myself, the ability to share favorite strips could be a good way to turn more people on to the exemplary work of Team Tracy.

 

Thanks to Willy 007, Ray Toler, Night-Gaunt49, 22ph, Neil Wick, Vista Bill, JPuzzlerWhiz, Chris Sherlock, Morrow, Chris Colvard and Frank for the kind words. Very much appreciated!

It would sadly appear that Messrs Staton and Curtis have thrown their hats in the ring with the leftwing propagandists who incredulously think it somehow unAmerican to secure our boarders! Pity, I always thought Dick Tracy stood for law and order and American values. See you all when this panel returns hopefully to its senses. Bye.

She’s part of the punch line: “You take the blonde, and I’ll take the one in the toyban.”

… are we assuaged yet?

… are we assuaged yet?-——-Nope. I am glad they have expanded the post limit, but banning all images from user comments, in the name of creating a “safer” environment for us, is lame and insulting.

“Unfortunately our present system is self corrupting of all who enter. If you don’t become corrupt you will have been blocked on what you have tried to do to make things better. We just don’t have enough uncorruptable people in govt to change it away from corruption.” -————— Bingo!

Much as I agree with the progressive political p.o.v. Mike & Joe are espousing in this sequence, I hope this strip gets back to being an escapist auction-packed thriller strip pretty darn soon

Maybe Congressthing Bellowthon’s H.B. 6497 is one of those mysterious bills that “we have to pass before we can find out what’s in it” in any detail.

If it comes down to a fight between the blowhard and the gal with the Powers, I’m putting my money on the blonde (the real one, not the wiggy one)….

Lots of new names on the board lately. Welcome, everyone.

This arc just keeps on reminding me why I detest most pols.

Folks, I read this strip as much for your comments as for the artwork. A bunch of really clever, witty responses that never fail to make me laugh. Thank you all so much!

Pardon my ignorance but I can’t see how a block of text would be disruptive.

Isn’t text the whole point?

Couldn’t the mobile users just scroll through?

The hypnosis is wearing off
