Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for February 20, 2012

I really like this Mole guy.

Good morning all…

It would be neat if the Mole catches Thunderchild dipping in the till and a fight breaks out and the Mole wins with his strong hands.

I like Mole, too. I hope he stays around as a ‘good guy’.

Good morning, VB! Mouse is still working.

If DT held a grudge against every baddie who tried to off him he’d be a very surly guy.

Tracy once said he always kinda liked the Mole. Seems a lot of people do.

I have a bad feeling about this.The Mole has a history of violence, and hates what Thunderchild has done, hijacking his efforts. Now if Thunderchild steals the proceeds of the match…Of course, the Mole wouldn’t kill the wrestler. But if someone did, he’d be easy to frame.And yeah, I like the Mole, too.

Count me in on Team Mole as well! I hope he doesn’t revert to evil ways! Thunderchild is being built up as the heel in the strip, but I have a hunch there will be a deeper layer involved as well….

Why does Vitamin look borderline-shocked in the third panel? I wouldn’t expect the newspaper headline to have surprised him. I’d say it’s the blue liquid that Tracy’s drinking (at least in the gocomics version); after all, it IS a bit early to be imbibing blue vodka… but then I noticed his eyes are looking up toward the ceiling, not at Tracy. Strange. Guess we’ll find out soon enough…

What was the old Sam Catchem line (by Max Collins)? Something like, “Here’s the only person in the world who calls you ‘Richard’.”

I would hate to see The Mole become villainous again; his rehabilitation story has been a very good thread in the history of the strip.

Good morning VB. Everybody looks at Mole as if he were a saint. Just a few days past he was busy cultivating little seedlings. Could it be the plants are the things dreams are made of ? Hmm … I’m just opining !!

Is Vitamin off the pills—or is showing a pill-popper not allowed in the comics these days? Perhaps he’s getting all the vitamins he needs from his diet. There are some greens on his plate and a fruit slice on his drink.

I haven’t seen Diet Smith drink any milk in a long time either. A question for everyone. What type of milk does Diet Smith drink? Whole, skim, low fat, 2%, 1%, goat, cow, some other animal?Does Vitamin Flintheart like children’s chewable vitamins? If so, what is his favorite flavor?

If the Mole catches Thunderchild stealing the charity proceeds there will be a fight and the valiant Mole will be killed and it will be great comics for us lucky readers as Dick Tracy chases Thunderchild and brings him to justice.

That’s tea he’s drinking, see the teapot?
