That second unit crew is really pretty lousy if they have no idea what’s supposed to be going on. They should be fired…. Meanwhile, the Scarlet Stings snap to in the whiplash bash over pretty Ponytail!
@Terry To continue from yesterday, I couldn’t find the trailer, but I did find this (as you know, I’m not sure how to do the links so well, but it should suffice) http://www.comicsalliance.com/2011/02/01/snarf-new-thundercats-snarf-and-toys-revealed/At the top, you’ll see the design of the new Snarf for the new show. I think Panthro is in the show as well, I’ll hunt around and see what I can dig up@Sydney If it would “please” you, I’d like to “know” if Beau is still the “leader” of the Dick Tracy Yahoo group, and if it wouldn’t be too much “trouble” if you could pass along his email or perhaps “nudge” him so that I can rejoin discussions there, it would be much “appreciated.” ;DAaron
The third panel is actually a subtle reveal of Doubleup’s true identity: he is, beneath the mask, none other than financier and takeover artist Carl Icahn, here to do a leveraged buyout of the Scarlet Sting franchise. The real Sting knows this, and in the third panel he is really saying, “I can, Icahn!!”
I like the implication in panel #1 that 3D movies suck. Just think, if Locher had waited a bit (which seemed to be the idea anyway) he could have had David Deelybopper D’Ingaling living on the streets for real.
Y’all might be interested in a bit of news from the state where both Mike and Joe were raised:
A RESOLUTION congratulating Joe Staton and Mike Curtis on thelr professional accomplishments.
WHEREAS, from time to tlme, the members of this General Assembly have the distinct honorto recognize those current and former Tennesseans who have risen to the pinnacles of their fields;and
WHEREAS, Joe Staton and Mike Curtis are two such individuals who are widely known fortheir influence and impact in the world of syndicated comic strips and, in March, these two men willassume creative control of the legendary Dick Tracy comic strip; and
WHEREAS, following the impending retirement of longtime Dick Tracy writer Dick Locher,Mr. Staton and Mr, Curtis will become the artist and the writer, respectively, of the popular comicstrip, which is celebrating its eightieth anniversary this year; and
WHEREAS, Joe Staton, a native of Milan who graduated from Milan High School, attendedMurray State University, from which he received an art degree. He is now a resident of Kingston,New York; and
WHEREAS, Mike Curtis, who now resides in Greenbrier, Arkansas, was born in Memphisand raised in Jackson, and he graduated from North Side High School before attending UnionUniversity. After graduating from Jackson State Community College, Mr. Curtis found employment in the ad services department of The Jackson Sun and drew cartoons for the Sun Line column; and
WHEREAS, between them, these two talented men have more than sixty years ofexperience in the comic industry, and they have contributed those talents to a number of comics,including Casper the Friendly Ghost, Richie Rich, and The Green Lantern, among several others;and
WHEREAS, Mike Curtis and Joe Staton, through their determination and the application oftheir talents, have risen to the top of their field, and it is wholly appropriate that this body formallyrecognize their accomplishments; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE OF THE ONE HUNDRED SEVENTH GENERALASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE, that we hereby applaud Joe Staton and Mike Curtison their successful careers, congratulate ihem on being named as the new creative team behind theDick Tracy syndicated comic strip, and offer our best wishes for their every future success.BE lT FURTHER RESOLVED, thai an appropriate copy of this resolution be prepared forpresentation with this final clause omitted from such copy.
Oh, for the Dick Tracy’s Good Old Days with credible villains like Flattop, the contract killer; Spaldoni, the crooked lawyer; Mumbles and his gang of robbers;, et al. The difference then was that despite their humorous monikers, the bad guys looked fairly realistic, and they saw themselves as heroes in their own story, as they should. This whip-wielding guy could only exist on an opera stage, and nobody would really dress like that!
@Det. Dan Thank you :) @Neil Also, thank you, I guess I’ll have to try and dig up Beau’s email address and see if I can prod him myself :( @Mike Curtis and Joe Staton Congratulations, you gentlemen have earned it Aaron
Mike tells everyone that Honeymoon appears tomorrow for the first time, by the new creative team, and not one comment. Well I am excited. YEA! HONEYMOON! WOOT!

Dick and company sure do look better. The writing is a cripser too. Though I’ll hold off on my review until they’re a few more months in.
