Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for December 31, 2009

Is the violin growing again or is Telly getting smaller? Another bag of money! This guy’s rich!

Bring the Pig on Wheels back!

Can you do your magic, and have this strip have more than just a semblance of a plot?

Where is that Cheddar? He’s supposed to be reading the news so I can comment. I hope he’s not off making another one of those ‘Vacation’ movies, it’s his job to be here. When I find him, I’m going to give him a piece of my mind! Oh, there he is now…never mind!

Tomorrow’s strip will show him tripping and smashing the Strad to pieces I hope.

Never mind about Cheddar, where is Joe Allen “Joe” Doty? Missed him the last couple of days..

Hey cousin Emily!!! Try to stay on subject so we dont get in trouble OK???

Bad hands day today !

Emily, what do you think about busting children? Is that a good use of Detective Tracy’s time?

Happy new year, guys.

Thanks Carlo; The Year From Hell is over!

Happy New Year folks! Maybe Macy will get better and Locher will read these posts!

I hope this one works for a change.

Has anyone ever seen a carrying case like that in real life? It looks like something from a 40’s gangster movie, or something Andy Hardy’s doctor carries to house calls.

Telly is looking more and more like Jabba the Hut with each passing day.

My best wishes to eyeryone for all that’s good in the New year !

To everyone like me who is born today what a way to celebrate getting older when attention is on the main event Happy News Years to everyone. Then the ones who are born News Years day may get to be on TV as a new born. At least New Years BD gets mixed in with News Years but starts out celebrating BD’s at the beginning not the end. I seen on the news some countries have already reached the 2010 milestone. I don’t think the next new year will be any better then the past 10 years.

That bag looks like a Dr.’s old time bag. I do not know if Dr.’s carry those anymore?

Is it me, or does Locher have a thing for corny names for the bad guys? I hear a procession of “pun”-y musical terms. Maybe this arc could include some actual POLICE-work for a change…

Despite all the bad plots, artwork and puns that we have to endure here, it’s good to know that we are all on the same page and hope that, in the upcoming year Dick Tracy is restored to some sort of it’s former glory…

Oh well, here’s for hoping…

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!

Flight Suit Busting Children? Why, that’s horrible! Their crushed little bodies would be laying all over! It would look like a Boneless Chicken Ranch!

Oh, ‘busted’ means ‘arrested’……..never mind.

Little Cousin Roseann, yes, we’d best be careful… SNERK

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE> I hope locher’s resolution is to write strips with actual plots!

I concur let 2010 be the year of the PIG ON WHEELS!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

Ridenslide65: I think the bad guy looks more like a Sontaran, from the old Doctor Who series: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TlxzjUc2V0 (he shows up sans cheap helmet around the halfway mark).

2 Winston Churchill “quotes” to take us into the New Year:

One for Locher : “However beautiful the strategy you should occasionally look at the results”

The second for the fans of the “Pig on Wheels : I like Pigs. “Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals”.

Par-tay!!

Thank you, *sydney, for the nice comments about us pigs.

May Locher continue to inspire the comment section (no hope for better writing), the only reason anyone is here.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The Pig on Wheels said, “Par-tay!!”

Margueritem, we’re depending on you to watch out for the Pig on Wheels tonight. He looks like he’s ready to roll and might overdo it.
