NVash, Collins made it clear that he wanted nothing to do with the Moon Period or it’s technical symbols. He arrange Moon Maid’s death (explosion intended for Tracy), and had The Moon Governor in his grief declaring no further contact with Earth. Even the less intrusive Flying Air Buckets went away.
(althought, on the Moon they may have continued to watch Earth TV and have a chuckle or two, when clips of Tracy running from Johnny Nothing were shown)
Dick and Tess’ son Joe Tracy was born in 1979. He and Honey Moon continued to appear later in stories with occasional Crime Stoppers style segments. The last such was in 1992 (Feb to April) along with another youngster. Honey’s antennae was always disguised by her hair in little tufts that were visible. That would be her last apperance as Collins departed the followig year.
However we did see Joe Tracy return on occasion, but for copyright reasond he was called “Cool Dude” under Kilians pen. Since Locher took up the writing in 2006 Cool Dude has not been seen
Can’t seem to recall a son for Junior but Kilian certainly had him with a daughter - Jewel seen in 2002 :

Dick Locher’s son and art assistant (John Locher) died in May 1986 and shortly after Dick started morphing Junior to look like son John, You can see the outcome clearly in the 2nd link above.
Oddly, since Locher commenced the writing in 2006 he has only been shown new Junior sparingly (twice I believe)
