   We’ll be in suspense for a while, I’m afraid.

   Good morning, VB!

   I’m thinking yes, Moon Maid is really gone, and the lady from last week is someone else. Especially since she covered her face. But who???

   Nice tribute to one of my favorite characters. Still bothers me that they dispatched her as they did, but moving on….
   Lizz’s hair continues to grow, and she looks good! I hope she grows it long and keeps it that way.
   As for the identity of Moon Maid, there is an interesting discussion going on about that on the Yahoo Dick Tracy site. Some are convinced it’s Mrs. Chin Chillar, and they make some good arguments.

   August 7 [tomorrow, actually], the anniversary of Moon Maid’s death (with the year artfully obscured). Yes, let her rest in peace. The masked—or bandaged, we are being told “off-strip”—vigilante is apparently not really her; but who knows what curve balls Team Tracy may throw our way?

   Classy move, showing Junior today. As for Moon Maid, I keep thinking of Darth Vader saying, “A sister! Obi Wan was wise to hide her from me.”

   Is the Moon Maid story collected anyplace? I know the basics, but would like to read the whole thing.

   Yes on first part.
   Usually “tricks” of the trade. Wrong body, cousin, or sister. Or something similiar t o what happen to Bruce Wayne.

    They were at a family gathering. Dick Tracy was sleeply on sofa. She realize there something forgotten and was heading for the grocery store. Then explosion, that was met for Dick Tracy.

    Asakura, you (and anyone else) can find most of the Moon Maid story here:
    
    I Love Comix Archive – Dick Tracy – 1963
    
    It will ask you to register every time you go to it, even if you already registered. Just fill in a name, an email, and a how you found out about it, and you are in!
    There is NO EMAIL CONFIRMATION to worry about, or any other hassle than having to fill in the three fields every single time you visit.
    This is one of the best sources (if not the best) of 60’s era Tracy you will find. It also has many other comics for those who want to get totally lost in re-reading comics that are obscure, out of print, or just plain old.
    Enjoy!

    For those who want to see why Junior is at a gravesite today:

    I believe this is a re-drafted carry-over from the intial “trial run” on Mike & Joe’s site. Was initially slotted @ start of Flakey Biscuits story, yes?

    SIXTEEN!! WOW! Lizz is looking pretty amazing in panel one! and poor junior, i feel bad for him. i gotta say that aside from joe, junior is probably my favorite supporting character in this strip…followed closely by both lee ebony and johnny adonis. will this moon maid impersonator show up at mysta’s gravesite, or will she be watching from afar as junior pays his respects and grieves for his deceased wife? and what will junior’s reaction be? funny how the newcast of the attempted robbery hasnt “hit” the MCU HQ yet… but just WAIT til it does!
