Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for April 24, 2020

Good morning™, arresting officers!

That’s a very dramatic first panel, but it does look like the original logo for Charlie’s Angels. Why are they all facing different directions? They are after only one person.

Scarmony doesn’t seem a bit intimidated. Only Mysta looks worried.

Drop the gun, Scar!

Close to wrapping up? ✨

Good morning™, gang that couldn’t shoot straight!

Why is Sam facing the wrong way?

Mysta seems pissed that the MCU’s interfering.

What the heck is Sam aiming at?

I dig these chicks!!!!

LOL!

This is the best I’ve seen guns in hands in a Tracy strip in a very long time.

Even though facing several anxious police with pointed guns, Scarmony is still a pretty cool customer – now, snap out of it and drop the automatic quickly…

For some odd reason, Mysta seems unenthused… ;-)

So, Sam is heading the wrong way?

Like the way Dudley Do-Right rode his horse?

Good morning™, Overly dramatic entrants !

Lizz looks like a wildcat about to attack. Tracy and Sam are dripping with machismo. Scar looks pleased with herself while Mysta looks angry but at least she wont be going back in the can. …Or will she ?….

I like panel one! Lot’s of action!

Panel #1 = scary look

There goes the Pony farm!!!

This arc of the puffy mumps brigade can’t end soon enough.

Is This Strip Being Drawn In China Now?

Yeah, but not quick enough; back to the main story, please.

Tracy looks like he was drawn by Spain Rodriguez!

Hmmm. Are we to interpret that ‘Still Hot Smoking Gun’ the way Robert Cray means it in his song, Smoking Gun? Or the way John Lennon meant it in Happiness Is A Warm Gun? What were you listening to when you drew this GroovyKinda? And don’t say BANG BANG by Sonny and Cher!

Scarmony was all worried when the sheet metal stuff fell on Mysta/Mindy, but even as she tries to pull the junk off of her, she does it one-handed because she still won’t let go of her gun!

This has been a monumental waste of time. Plus the artwork is awful.

Where’s the mystery in this “Minit Mystery”? Everything so far has been pretty straight forward. And we only have 2 days left.

one more day, just like the end of Les Miz

Personally I think that DT should be alone in the first panel if not just a lone full sized panel with possibly the old 80s effects around. DT in that panel kind of reminds me of Judge Dredd/Heavy Metal Comics, but brighter and cleaner.

Great work drawing the pistolas! Charlie does have a certain style. But please, lose the blob silhouettes.

To all the folks panning poor Charlie, this has been the most fun we’ve had with a Dick Tracy story line in ages! At least since Donnie Pitchford!

Especially appreciated is the use of females in this story line – to include the ever neglected Lizz!

And heck, even the never Mystas are having a ball!

And the artwork, even if it’s unfamiliar, has been a hoot, too! Somewhere between Fearless Fosdick and 9 Chickweed Lane!

For me, Monday is going to be the disappointment! I’ve enjoyed every day of this ride!

It’s Mike’s slow boat to China on Monday that I fear!

I know that a lot of other readers consider the Minit Mysteries as non-canon, but I don’t. I think they all fit into the DT continuity, even if they’re not mentioned. This one in particular is good for the continuity of Mysta’s story I feel.
