Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for April 06, 2017

Bribery upon the wall adorns the wanted poster

Vile man of vanity, a prevaricating boaster.

Entering the MCU, look to see the fine Chimera

Mixed blood that courses through her veins foretells a changeling era.

A dinner date. Why hesitate? See Mysta and the Spirit

Out on the town to have a time. Sweet music, they can hear it.

Their origins remarkable. Unbelievable their stories

Misunderstood, they will do good. For justice, not for glory.

He wears a mask. She sports those horns. This makes some people frown

“Not like us at all,” they say. “Both freak shows of renown.”

Simply can’t be bothered with the whispers and the stares

Left to imagination to see all this couple bares.

Yay!

Tracy looks bemused …

… but not at all surprised.

Good morning all!

♫♫ Romance is in the air! ♫♫

Mad Mysta Mindy, happy in every way

A dinner date for two, and the Spirit said he’ll pay

Who knows where this will lead

Maybe romance soon will bloom

To the moon they’ll go some day

All it’ll take is a bang and a zoom

One thing that concerned her

Even as in joy she did bask

If their union produced a child

Would it be born with gloves and a mask

Aawww, idn ’at sweet ?

Nice midweek romp, P-Q !

Tracy’s just relieved it’s not Bonny that’s in line for the one and done, lol

This concludes the story of the Spirit. I’m still working on my story map but I had several errands to do today and then the final week of our church study groups for the winter and I had no time to work on it today. Maybe tomorrow. We’ll see.

Is that Darth Vader working at the reception desk?

Mysta wins this round, unless Bonnie manages to pull off some last minute scheme.

Mad Mysta Mindy’s really busting out of her jacket today! LOL!

I see that the police haven’t forgotten about Mr. Bribery, but he seems to be rather elusive. I doubt he’ll show up at the cosplay convention this spring, and Mike said something about what he’s preparing for summer that didn’t sound like Bribery either, but if they don’t find him soon, Matty Squared will have taken an awful lot of money from the banks!

Seems to be pretty much a wrap …

… unless Bonnie shows up tomorrow, prepped for her date with ‘The Spirit.’

I’ve never ever seen Dick Tracy look so thoroughly bemused!

Aha! I knew it! Denny’s day is not done until the wee, small hours of the the morning. Here’s Mysta! (As I said before, he can sleep on his plane to Central City in the morning.)

Keep your peace, Detective Tracy!

Will Bonnie show up, too? —I wouldn’t bet against it….

I think Spirit scheduled his dates… a few hours with Mysta and after that with Bonnie.

Oh lucky devil! Now Bonnie needs to get fired up. Between those two the Spirit won’t have a a chance :)

I’d die laughing if Frankenmindy gets a “DEAR JOAN” letter from Denny instead of a dinner date

“Sorry you patchwork freak, I can’t make it, I’m on a flight back home.. an important case came u p that needs my attention.”

Or y’know… the classic line “Something suddenly came up” lol

You know what irritates me the most about Frankenmindy? The fact that the ENTIRE Tracyverse (in strip) are more than willing to just brush aside the fact that this person who, YEARS AGO, blatantly wanted to be the REAL DEAL MOON MAID is now some criss-cross concoction up mashed up genes and remade in the exact image of someone who was ACTUAL FAMILY to most of them.

It’s ludicrous to even think theyd accept it at face value, and even MORE ludicrous that Junior would allow his daughter to even hang around with her. This is a woman who wanted to take Honeymoon’s mothers identity, and NOW she has it, and everyone is all “Awww poor Frankenmindy, she’s a victim” umm.. not exactly. She WANTED to be Moon Maid and now she is just a cheap second rate version of the original.

I ‘get’ the whole "oh she was forced against her will to have the dna spliced into hers’ but you know what? I seriously don’t think she WOULD have been forced if she knew what the end result would be.

She’s effectively taken over Moon Maid’s life, even going so far as to name herself MYSTA also…regardless of the last name she chose. Sorry, I have ZERO sympathy for this creature

Her eventual departure back to the moon and fading from this strip forever cant come soon enough for me

Tracy will look even more bemused she tells him they’re eating at Denny’s!

And now you know why the Spirit isn’t leaving until morning. (rowr!)

(Boy, there’s a spin-off in the making: The Spirit and Mysta!)

I realize that is how he is always drawn hence the humor, but I wonder about in the “real” world how many wanted posters have big toothy grins.

Is Mysta gonna take Denny to a Denny’s?Also too: hope Central City has a backup vigilante—the Spirit’s not gonna make it out of Tracytown alive…

This ought to kill another week in real time…

I wonder if the Spirit’s going to have to explain a couple of horn holes in his hat. ZZZzap!

The great, late Don Rickles would have called double Am a dumb hockey puck!

I think Spirit knows better than to mess with Tracy’s kin….otherwise, knowing him, he’d probably be trying to work a 3-some or something where he could enjoy ’em both, lol
