Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 02, 2010

Does Naperville PD have a Diet Smith made transporter? Macy keeps going from HQ to 3D’s morphing manse in almost every other panel in this arc. ————————————————-

Look’s like Tracy’s continuing to bounce around.

Note that as she becomes more agitated, Sue Doko’s hair mandibles begin to twitch and grow!

Zzzz-zzzzzzz…wake me when something actually happens….

I know I’ve been flogging a deceased hoss And some may think what I write is dross But once again I must opine Though my words be not sublime There is no suspense and no mirth Of police work there is a dearth The stories smell, the artworks bad The strip has become really sad A little logic, a little thought Is not too lofty a goal to be sought It’s not that we ask for too much Just a straw that we can clutch As we sputter in the foaming brine Oh, wouldn’t that be just fine But no-one hears our sad refrain As the strip swirls down the drain.

Thank you margueritem.

Ah, another treasure, WW!

Why does Tracy hang out with Pruneface’s mom? Is he waiting for her to finish her joke? “Call me Penny–copper!”

DT should go ask Sue Doko about D-Cubed’s transactions, his enemies, any recent behavioral changes on his part, and whether or not she knows how to give tattoos. That would save time, move the story along and generally make sense–

Oh.

Would it not also-if the guy were dead, which he isn’t, make sense to consider the wife and the secretary as suspects?

There are no “suspects” any more VanDork Just “persons of interest”.

Sue Doko’s pretty hot. I think she looks like Christine Nguyen.

The artwork today is horrible. Bleah!!!

Looks like margueritem has gone to sleep with Rip Van Winkle. I hope her bed is comfortable; she’s likely to be in it a loooooooooong time….

Looks like we’re stuck in the mud.

Another daily strip with absolutely NOTHING new in it.

yes indeed, “this is bizarre!”

Beefeater, by the this time tomorrow you’ll see she’s no - ’pistol packing mama’. Perhaps a sort of France Nuyen (of South Pacific fame) without ‘boobs’

”SO DO I” - Could that be somehow intended as another weak PUN … on her name ?

Another day of LITTLE happenining. A former poster here - Grockstien had it right :

“You only get - one little ’tid-bit’ of forward movement per week”

And it’s dragged out endlessly !

Since July 22, we have learned that ‘someone’ was found dead with a butterfly tattoo (maybe he was the guy shot on stage from the last arc), 3D has enemies, Mrs 3D is pretty clueless as is Dick, the homeless guy is passing $1K bills and S. Doko is a puzzle in the story.

All this EXCELLENT exciting story line has in crammed in only 42 days of the FABULOUS Dick Tracy! Drawn in such INCREDIBLE detail, it looks like real life! And they even give us COLOR in the comic on Sundays! How could it get much better?

(By reading your comments, folks. Really appreciate it; I never knew The Dick was supposed to be funny until I visited here.)

Is that Ernie Kovacs picture on the (big) $1000 bill?

Who is Mrs. D talking to in panel 2. If talking to the secretary, would she say, “David’s secretary, Sue Doko, has a list…” What does the dialogue baloon in panel 3 convey? Anger? Iciness? Agree with all comments above. (How did tsouthworth get his last sentence past the censor?)

this is bizarre - boring but bizarre

gasoline alley has just had a fairly exciting school bus reenactment of speed several days, more action than i seen here in a while
