Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for December 24, 2011

Lovely. (And she doesn’t even want to go to the circus!)

I think Dick slipped some Spanish Fly in theeggnog.

MERRY CHRISTMAS INDEED!

Sweet Babboo, nice Peanuts reference.

I love today’s strip.Scenes like these are a great counterbalance to the fantastic villains and plots that the series revolves around.I just have to wonder – is Tracy calling Tess his “sweet baboo”? Or the other way ’round?Either way —Merry Christmas to all! Let your shopping be done, and none of the lights on your tree go out!

Good morning all…

A nice quiet ending to the day…

Traceys roasting by the open fire…. Merry Christmas, detective, Tess!

How lovely. :)

A Happy Christmas Eve indeed !!!

To Mike Curtis and Joe Staton, Merry Christmas and thank you for the almost year long Christmas present of restoring Dick Tracy to his former glory.

Anniversary? Did Dick and Tess get married on Christmas Eve?

And Merry Christmas to everyone her in Dick Tracy Land!

Crumbled Viagra….. Remember his age! Tess hasn’t forgotten!

@davidf42:

Yes, they did. They surprised everybody, by inviting them to a “Christmas party” that really was a post-wedding supper. Chief Patton actually fainted at the table, thinking about it. And that’s when we first saw Sam’s wife and daughter. Then Tracy and Tess went “about 150 miles up into the mountains” for their honeymoon, and promptly tangled with the villian known as “Wormy” – great story.

A bit of a ‘back kick’ (?) on the story with your FAVORITE artifact - The PIG on WHEELS ? (Locher’s best creation in 5 years ! ;-)

Merry Christmas Marg and All

I ‘suspect’ that something is a’foot’ here!

Ah, Christmas Eve — the time of the year for carols, presents under thr eee, and two middle-aged folks bonin’…

And just a sprinkling of Ambien.

Merry Christmas to all. For me, Chrismas came way early this year—around mid March. Thanks, Team Tracy—your work is greatly appreciated.

I’m not sure I’ll be able to be truly merry with PP out there plotting who knows what.

Merry Christmas to the Tracys, Team Tracy and Tracy fans!

All cynical and wisecracking comments aside, this has been a wonderful (most of a) year, and I look forward to many, many more years with the current Tracy Team.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE OF YOU!

Merry Christmas, Wonderwarthog wherever you are. Also to BT, VB, M, FS, MM, L, S, Tarry, DDD, RE, Mike, Joe and all Dick Tracy fans. Wow, this is swell having this cool little thing going on each day. I am so happy to be an American! God bless you all and Happy Birthday Jesus.

Am I the only one to suspect foul play from the first panel?

Cute. Merry Christmas!

no! it’s Puttypus disguised as Tess putting POISON in his eggnog! oh the irony … sob

Sweet Baboo?! I thought this was Dick Tracy, not Peanuts.

Oh, now I know where Sally learned that phrase.

awwww…what a great time to be a DT fan. Happy holidays all!

So many references to the word ’Long"

I remember a Monty Python scene with two men in a lifeboat and one says to the other – “How Long Is It” The other replies – “that’s rather a personal question”-—————————————————————————————————————

To the Dick Tracy team and Vista Bill and all of you who leave their comments -

A Very Merry Christmas to you all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy holiday to all"Plain Clothes" Tracy fans—I agree , Curtis and Staton have really given us all the gift of a Dick Tracy reborn!! Thanks.

HOORAY! I love it when Tracy gets the occasional break and things just go right. Merry Christmas indeed! Tracy, take the wrist “off the hook” tonight.

I like the Peanuts reference!

Look out! Tess looks like she just stepped off the set of “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Chanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa & Happy Solstice to everyone! And endless thanks to the New Team for a great year!

Happy Holidays to all, and Happy 62nd anniversary to Dick and Tess!

Tess reads “Peanuts”!
