   What has happened to Sally???
   Gasp! Did she put some behind her ears, and her ears fell off?

   Sally forgot to turn her motor off while filling and blew up. Tracy looks like the local preacher in the third panel.

   As a local preacher (one among many), I resemble that remark.

   Tess has put on a jacket since yesterday. Must be cold in the house. Tracy really should turn the heat up.

   Do I understand it that Grokenwhatever doesn’t approve of the artwork here?

   It looks like Tess is holding a small light bulb in the first panel. “I have an idea!!!!”

   I think Sally has a rash from the perfume.

   “Sally? What …”
   Well, we can all relax, including the recently departed. Locher has sent us a ‘signal’. We know for sure now that there will be at least ONE panel forward, on Sunday to amuse us along with the yellow rubber duckie.
   Don’t duckies go “quack”? The one today went “cluck”!
   We get such great character development, “personality” enhancement, when Locher puts his mind to it. TMS must give him a bonus!
   WAIT ! Tigger, you out-thought DL as I suspected. Ask for ‘royalties’. I VOTE that you get his “TESS BONUS” for February.

   “What do you MEAN your face blew up, and now DC comics is suing you for copyright infringement?”

    I have the utmost respect for DL and all of his achievements in the past. I even have an original Tracy sketch from a letter I sent him years ago. But the strip has basically just turned into talking heads and hands. Although I hate to say it, but the strip should have been retired with grace at the end of the year.

    Y’know, Andy, there are folks out there who will tell you that this is the finest literature that’s ever been created. It ranks up there with the Constitution and Shakespearian works. Then, there are those who want a change. Yeah, Change We Can Believe In - like a new Master. We’d like to see Tracy back like he was and stories like those that made him a super sleuth! If TMS is putting that much heat on DL, then DL ought to tell TMS to produce it themselves. Something about where the sun doesn’t shine!

    Y’know, Tess is looking like a member of the clergy herself. Hmm…

    Dick Tracy seems to have issues this week when it comes to Panel 3. First he miraculously changed race the other day… now he looks like he aged about ten years in the last day (botox, Dick! Botox!!).

    19 comments and no one mentioned that silly little phone? It’s bite sized! Or maybe Tess’ head is so big the phone only looks small. She’s stumbled through the Looking Glass! Tess in Wonderland! I’m sure that there are some who might say the phone only looks small, that that’s the perspective it was drawn. I’ll lump them in with the literature guys from Morrow’s post.

    Aahhh.. with all the designer phone .crap out there it’s routine to see funky designs. Small fingers, small phone or maybe fone would be more apt.
    Third panel preacher: Gimme dose box dom-mee-nose nabeescos…
    
    I notice that in this comic ‘sans’ format, all the lettering is in capitals which to me accounts for all the “I beam” flanges. Is this a comic strip or a construction site? With all the blasting going on I can’t tell.

    Tracy is too much the manly man to use a designer phone. Especially one he could fit in his mouth.
