Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 26, 2012

Honeymoon is such a cutie! Terrific work once again by Joe Staton.

Honeymoon is one smart cookie!

Honeymoon the detective!!

Good morning Detectives!Wonder if the wrist wizards have GPS tracking so they can recover the one they took off Sam before they can reverse-engineer it when (if) they get out of jail.

At last we know how Honeymoon knew what about Phishface. Great art, I agree, but the coloring seems off on the hologram of Phishface.

Mornin’ all!And now we know just how Honeymoon was a step ahead of Tracy in reeling in the big, well, you know.

but they didn’t know he looked like that all week..

A smart little gal indeed. I wonder if she’ll bring up the mysterious appearances of Moon Maid to her Pop Pop.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Honeymoon start up a new Junior Crimestoppers Club chapter, in honor of her dad.

The wrist wizards transmit all the time? Not for much longer, I’ll bet…

Mean while back in the tank ……. ……… …………….

A minute of exposition from the delightfully sharp Honeymoon, while Lee and Lizz search for Sam—whose remaining time is short, folks! Hurry!

So will Sam celebrate Yom Kippur as a Kipper?

and there it is, for all of you who were wondering how honeymoon knew about phishface. and as for how she knew what he looked like, well i am sure that tracy interviewed everyone at the aquarium when arthur curry met his demise, and of course the director (isnt that what phishy’s job title was?) would have his photo up SOMEWHERE in the building or at least in the office. they would have HAD to interview office employees as to a possible motive for curry getting the hook (sorry, couldnt avoid that one)

Little Honeymoon is no slouch. For her guts and smarts, we can vouch.

by the way, i forgot to say this yesterday… to ME at least, mugg looks more like MARMADUKE than SCOOBY DOO.

The Wrist Wizard is always on/always transmitting? So why didn’t Tracy know that Sam was at the aquarium ? Is Sam’s defective or have all the bad guys figured out how to jam the signal?

Good morning all…

I enjoyed the Phishface episode and thanks Mike and Joe for making Vista Bill a part of it! I’m always available, you know.

I am just thrilled that Honeymoon has played such an important part in the storyline arcs since TEAM TRACY has taken over the strip I have ALWAYS loved the character, but hated the way she was drawn by the previous artist. I have also wondered why more discussion and concern between Honeymoon and the Tracy’s about the appearance of a woman who resembles the deceased Moon Maid. Perhaps the story will go full force now that Pishface has been captured.

Would someone please save Sam?

Mattie, I doubt DL would appreciate someone impersonating him on an internet forum. Especially one in a red sweater or hair shirt.

All the love here, but really…this storyline is pretty laughable. The wrist wizards allow the kiddies at home to listen in to the goings on at Police headquarters. Really? The hour of air for Sam?

I liked Phishface as a villian but this was pretty slapdash.

I like the strip, and the characters, but Honeymoon knowing how Phishphace did look before Tracy’s squad did… I don’t buy it. No. No way, José.

For the record, the fact that Pop-pop here is hand waving the possibility of extremely active Honeymoon risking her safety by her accessing MCU’s criminal-related information and communications, that’s wrong. But I think I’ll let this one pass, because she’s a junior crimestopper, ain’t she?

In my book, Mr. Locher is the gentleman who carried the heavy Tracy torch for such a long time that he really deserved having somebody taking it from his hands. Lucky us, new team Tracy has Mike and Joe, comic men extraordinary. The artist retired, long live the artists.

U R awesome and humble, it is cool that we all can suck-it-up, be adults having fun at a kid’s game. I’m also proud of timmy for handling things like he did. Good luck, may the peace of God be to you. Will we ever get to see Sam walking around and lighting up a square? (When I was young, that’s what we called cigarettes)

OK, now I got it. The guy’s name is Phishphace! That’s how Honeymoon managed to spot him!!!!!!!!!

A very elegant solution. I didn’t see it until now (this is what it’s called “fridge logic”, I guess.)

REGARDING YESTERDAY’S SUGGESTION ABOUT CONTACTING TMS ON STORY LIMITATIONS, I THINK A COUPLE OF US HAVE. I GOT A POLITE REPLY, BUT THINGS JUST GOT KICKED UPSTAIRS MAYBE NEVER TO BE ADDRESSED. I’D ACTUALLY SETTLE FOR 6 WEEKS, THE LATEST ARC LASTED 4, PHISHFACE APPEARED FIRST ON AUGUST 25TH I BELIEVE. I DON’T THINK THE STILETTA ARC WAS MUCH LONGER. TMS SHOULD BE INUNDATED WITH COMMENTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, NOT JUST USE THE SITE FOR BACK AND FORTH COMPLAINTS ABOUT OTHER POSTERS. ONE IS PROVERBIALLY MISSING THE FOREST FOR THE TREES I’M AFRAID. STILL, WITH ALL THIS, THE STRIP IS A DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENT OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, WHICH, BTW, DIDN’T SEEM TO HAVE THESE LIMITATIONS AND USUALLY RAN TOO LONG WITHOUT ANYTHING MUCH HAPPENING

Agreed !It’s always a HIGH point in the strip when she appears !Yet, this time round - she looks a bit different, and I can’t quite put a ’ finger ’ on it, like something is missing. (?) Not that HONEYMOON looks less appealing !-Guess it will come to me eventually !.

Everyone else seems to be doing Moon Maid avatars, so I thought I’d try one,too. Anyone remember where this is from?

Why does a little girl have a piece of police equipment!?

SIZE COMPARISON

Just noticed it !-Did Locher Authorize YOU to use HIS picture as an Avatar and pretend to be a " mouth piece ? and -further to heavily critique the strip - day after day ?Is he - AWARE this is happening ?-Fine to have a ’ point of view.‘, and pick the strip to pieces if you dislike it, or have a grudge !But it seems in poor taste to HiJack the man’s PERSONA !

It’s from Aug. 6, 1978, the day she died. If only she’d remembered the whip cream!

Wich stories?

Can we now find out what’s up with Moon Maid?

……still can’t get past Dick choosing to chat it up with his grandaughter rather than helping in the effort to save a dying Sam, lol….

Does your avoiding an answer, imply Dicky L, doesn’r have a CLUE what you are doing ?
