Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for November 02, 2016

Good morning guys!

.

Lunarians?

That’s a twist

Excellent verse, PQ!

Who might this be sending?

Friend or foe pretending

Might be one of the randy posters on this board ! (Thumb Up)

Very nice, Pequod!

Interesting……

The plot thickens!

Many say here the Moon Governor is coming…. possible but… the analysis of PQ raises question for that… why only Mysta?

.

Thanks Pequod

If Bellowthon was still alive she would raise hell for the passage of her bill.. Earth is being invaded by lunarians…

I still think that there is a puppet master behind Bellowthon and that person might be the source of the calls…

It’s probably some pollster asking for her opinion on the election. They’ll call on anything.

In cartoon physics the speed of “The Sense” is unknown, but if slower than light and the sender was far away, we may be hearing from a distant past event.

Happy belated birthday (10/31) to the honorable cpalmeresq!

Can the Space Coupe broadcast on Mysta’s frequency?

Hm.

A faux faux Moon Maid, perhaps?

.

One who looks enough like Mysta to incriminate her, if inadvertantly caught in one of Narcisse’s selfies?

Also, two panels again today.

I believe that the timing of the Lunarians’ visit to Wildwood (10/19/13) was no coincidence. A disturbance in the force? There is plenty we don’t know about Lunarian physiology. The DNA is having its way with both Mysta and Honeymoon. With their numerous powers, I suspect the visit to Wildwood was prompted by Moon Maid’s DNA having been activated. Puzzled and troubled by telepathically sensing that which should not be, the Lunarians are likely not aware of Ghote and Sail’s misappropriation of their daughter’s DNA. They know far better than the (now deceased?) doctors the full power of Lunarian telepathy and physiology. For me, the graveside gathering was cause for hope. That Mysta is cautious today is wise and predictable, given her protectiveness of Honeymoon. We see exciting, ongoing changes for Mysta and Honeymoon. Wherever they are, I suspect the Lunarians’ contact with Mysta will have a profound impact on her transformation. I’m looking forward to it. Also, to Honeymoon’s ongoing transformations and adventures. What great characters!

A sublime rhyme every time, Pequod!

Here’s hoping it’s the REAL Moon Maid! // Yeah, yeah, I know the official “canon” is that she is dead and that Mindy is as close as we are going to get. // But if we can bring back Mr. Bribery from the dead, why not the original Moon Maid? // Feel free to tell me to “get over it”; I probably deserve it. // But I can hope, can’t I?

Waitasecond!!!!!!! Honeymoon just called him “DIET SMITH” instead of “POPPA SMITH”?

Doesn’t she usually refer to him as Poppa Smith?

Was Mindy ever acquitted of attempted murder charges or serve time for her scissor attack against Lizz?

Great poetry today as usual, Pequod!

Nice bit of foreshadowing, that picture of the moon’s surface on the wall in panel two…

Nice poem PQ

When you get unexpected calls on your private line is it time to call the big brain in? I’d say so.Thanx for more of your artistic rhymes.

Who might be sending? No doubt it’s Rachael from card services calling to help Mysta get a better rate on her credit card.

Just WHAT keeps that dress up (beside the obvious, I mean)?

Oohhh, I like this development. The Moon people?

Is this strip still going? I thought it would have died about 50 years ago.

Love where this is going!

Who might this be sending?

Friend or foe pretending

My will shan’t be bending

The stakes now far too high.

Honeymoon not receiving

Can’t keep me from believing

A chance the voice deceiving

Uncertain who or why.

Patience is a virtue

Mysteries can hurt you

Strangers can do harm to

The target of a lie.

…..love how they yank us away in the middle of an exciting car chase for this……at least, when they pick up Selfie’s pursuit again, all the built up excitement will be gone, and we can take it nonchalantly…….like the Tracy/Kadaver one, etc, etc…..great beginnings and not-so-much-so endings are becoming too much the norm lately…..oh, I know Selfie will re-appear, but it won’t be quite the same…

Young Honeymoon is wise beyond her years, Mysta. Heed her warning; do not “post your address on social media” lest all the wrong people start pursuing you….

Who could it be, we ask nonetheless?

Okay, let’s start tossing out theories as to what sort of signals Mysta might be picking up, and from where.

.

Might she be developing a split personality?

.

A post-traumatic reaction to her encounter with Mr. Bribery, perhaps?

.

One capable of murder?

.

Unlikely – Given her popularity – But I’ve seen this sort of thing play out elsewhere. And it would explain why Honeymoon hasn’t sensed anything. (At least not yet.)

.

Might it be a second Chimera?

.

Possibly.

.

But who – Besides possibly Diet Smith – Has access to that tech?

.

Might it be another Lunarian?

.

Not sure the boys are ready to dive into the deep end of that gene pool quite yet.

.

Ask me again when we’re closer to the 100th Anniversary.

Also, had anyone pointed out the framed moonscape photo in the background of Panel Two?
