Chester Gould, a veteran cartoonist, began drawing his most legendary character, the dashing and daring Dick Tracy for the newspaper comics page in 1931. Modeled in the image of the innovative Sherlock Holmes, Gould was inspired to create new crime-fighting technology, including the two-way wrist TV, closed circuit TV police line-up and the engineless car that took Dick Tracy to the moon (both literally and figuratively).
Although many remember him with fond nostalgia, Dick Tracy, now written and illustrated by Dick Locher, continues to be relevant as he combines old-fashioned values with 21st century innovation to capture corporate crooks, computer pirates, polluters, skyjackers, gang members and terrorists.

Another exciting day on the police force!!! How long has it been since the trapeze girl got shot in real time, half hour? How long has it been stretched out in this comic, three weeks?

I have it. FBI stands for Female Body Inspector. Let’s keep law enforcement out of this. But watch this space.

I think it’s a Marxist/Nazi/Birther/SocialistHealthReform plot by some sort of extremist.

I think the october 4 we have (FINALLY) a new writer. In the last days I have heard some words about a new writer on the strip.

Since Oct 4th is a Sunday, I was wondering if it would switch to a once-a-week comic. But maybe carlo is right and it’s a new writer. It’s enough of a tease to keep me reading this until then.

It stinks!

The giant piggy bank on wheels that we saw on Wednesday has shrunk into a small cylindrical cannon. Things change like that when you’re dreaming or brain-damaged…. It looks too small even for a midget – but I predict it will grow! On October 4th Tracy will climb into it and be shot to the moon!
No wait … I forgot the pacing … Tracy can’t climb into it and be shot to the moon on the same day. He will climb into it on October 4th and be shot out of it sometime next year … can’t see just when exactly … crystal ball going cloudy….

Tracy, I have to tell you the whole truth. I am actually Ringo Starr from the Beatles.

I can hardly wait for tomorrow’s strip. Sunday’s are the best. The Sunday strip always jogs my memory of all the many plot twists and turns that have occurred during the week. And the beautiful artwork that we see during the week will be in color as well.
October 4th huh?

Tracy must be awfully cold in the second panel.

I’m sure it’s no coincidence that whatever earth-shattering October 4 event we’re being prepared for will happen on the anniversary of the debut of Dick Tracy, eh, Matty?

Washington Chief FBI Agent Hunter: “You KNOW the drill, keep the Local Law enforcement out of this” (Instructions to Agent Karen B. Ennen - prior to her flight to Naperville)
Well we KNOW women, and it wasn’t by chance that the “B” in her name stood for “Blabber-mouth”, an investigative technique she’ll use ON Tracy, as she enters the Circus tent 2 weeks from now. To finally tell him AND us readers what “happemed”
It’s been a long FIVE weeks standing in a Circus ring, legs weary, only to find that all the “clues” gattherd don’t add up to squat, and he folds his hands in contempt thinking it’s better to go back to being a “Hunch” detective.
And readers wait with baited breath for October 4 when Mattie will tell us that Locher finally “woke up” after falling asleep of boredom at his own story-line, It will now move forward, thanks to a Mattie shake of his shoulder
For that good deed you’re welcome back Mattie, all is forgiven. BUT, you must be more circumspect and respectful of others opinions. No more “Magpies” OR we will “retire” you again

I want a confirm from Matthew about my suspect. Matthew, we have a new writer the october 4?
morrow said, 2 months ago
Carlo, I hate to break your bubble, but I doubt if Mattie knows anything. It’s an old axiom, but usually the more someone mouths about how much they know, it turns out the less that they really knows. You have to be really important to catch his attention. Smart people don’t have to tell you they are smart. It shows.

The “Space” is probably between someone’s ears.

morrow,
Do I understand you correctly ? Are you saying that “empty Barrels make the most noise” ?
What totally facinates me isn’t what he is going to say, but that he’s reading HERE again, having apparently broken his sworn vow of “blindness” !
But you did predict it. You said he’d be back. Just as we expect Jeff and his alter ego to return.
Thought by now, Judy whould have spread out the mat for Matt ?
akado2000 said, 2 months ago
too late to keep the locals out of this!
LudwigVonDrake said, 2 months ago
Judy, consider yourself lucky.
