Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for December 23, 2011

Sounds like a good plan for all of us!

Is that Santa in the view behind Sam?

Good morning all…

Santa on the Crime-O-Scope! It WILL be a merry Christmas!

Looks like our friends will get some well deserved days off.

Home for the Holidays!

I went several years without reading Dick Tracy. What is a Crime-O-Scope?

Tracy made a wisecrack. I haven’t seen that much, if at all. Things are lightening up for the holidays at the MCS. Will crime take a holiday?

Wait a minute Sam; if you are in fact, Sam.

I think we are about to see the gang celebrating Chanukah and Christmas … hope we see at least one panel with those big flakes of snow like CG depicted.

The light-hearted banter of the MCS office is a fine lead-up to a Christmas of peace and joy, before we return to the gritty work at hand….

Maybe Bonnie Braids, Junior, Sparkle, Honeymoon, and Joe will all be on hand at the Tracy House this Holiday Season! I hope so… havent seen Joseph Flintheart Tracy in years! Bonnie Braids either. Hmm.. I wonder what B.U. Tiffil is up to these days? ;)

I hope whoever Liz(z) is going home to has had his Prozac. She’s gotta be chock-full of caffeine and ready-to-rumble. She’s been drinking coffee for a solid week now.

Went over to ComicStripNation to look at the strip in B&W to check out something. Found a Joe Stanton comment on B&W there, nice! I really like this strip in B&W, the dailies that is.

Wow! I’ve been gone from this strip for over a year — couldn’t stand what had been done to it. I somehow missed that they had actually gotten someone who can both draw and write. The chief is back, there’s room for characters, and the story moves. I don’t know when this happened, but it’s good to see the strip has made a comeback. This is a Christmas present for me.

FINALLY! The cops realize that some creepy fat guy’s been spying on children, having them sit on his lap, and breaking into homes and leaving bribes for children to make them behave. LOCK HIM UP!

J/K… Mostly.

Whoa, I just noticed the monitor on the pole. Right out of the 70s! Way to go guys. Your making this strip a prize anymore :). the 70s is one era I have almost no experience with (aside from ‘Big Boy’s Contract’)

And Merry christmas and happy new year to all the folks here, and the new team.
