Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for November 25, 2019

Looks like Tracy and Steve swapped coats. ✨

Good morning™, old friends!

Apparently, Sam doesn’t know them, but Tracy knows just about everyone.

It did indeed muss their hair and there is some damage to their clothing, but they survived remarkably well.

How difficult is it to keep these people straight? Especially your main character!!!!

Good morning™, bombered buddies !

Fireworks. They go with the territory. All in a day’s work.

Ridiculously imagined and very sloppy.

It would have been better if Sam and Dick were in Limbo Land rather than this insulting scenario of walking away unscathed.

Did their car somehow turn around? Of that I’m not sure.

I was going to say “There’s a blast from the past” but that seems a bit inappropriate ATM.

OK, so now we have a Monday repeat of Sunday’s events.

I’m waiting for Chief Wahoo and Minnie Ha-Cha to show up.

How nice of Tracy to lend his yellow coat to… Uh oh, watch out, Roper! Duck!

Picky, picky picky, did you people not know??? The blast blew the coats off of them and switched them!!! LOL!!!

Was that ONE again? Or did we make it to TWO?

If this is going to be a Steve’n’Mike adventure, it’s not authentic unless Mike calls someone a “Joker” and the villian’s name is a play on one or more place names in northwest Ohio.

Who are Nomad & Roper? What comic strip?

Baby BOOMERS?

I use to love that strip!

For those of you who missed yesterday’s panel…

Is this a sign King Features may buy the Tribune Content Agency strips?

Car bomb explodes. Cops just stand around chatting…

Hmmm…Maybe, Tracy’s mystical yellow coat, transfer to the person touching it, Roper did it on the second panel.

Sam needs to stop shopping at the Leprechaun store. That green is killing me!

ENOUGH with the excuses and lame explanations for the obvious inconsistently between yesterday’s and today’s strips.

The furthest any of the 4 were from either car is 6-8 feet. The explosion is depicted as a massive one. Shards of glass, metal, Car parts flying through the air at high speeds.

There’s no way all four could escape with messy hair.

STOP ENABLING JOE AND MIKE BY ACCEPTING CARELESSNESS!

This message brought to you by your friendly neighborhood Avenger!

LOL!

1-RECAP: The Siam’s method of avoiding city sewage fees literally backfires as decades of basement-stored waste explodes after a guest flushes his post-BM cigarette.

2-CLUELESS BOY: Here sir, let me get that for you.

SAM: Look at all the stars…

CAPTAIN OBLIVIOUS: You have a little dust on you. Let me get it sir.

3-SAM: The bells sound so pretty. Ding dong. Ding dong.

CLUELESS BOY: Right this way sir. You’ll be pleased to know that The Siam has authorized us to issue you two complimentary drink tickets redeemable for call-brand cocktails at our world famous YOU CAN CRAWL TO YOUR ROOM FROM HERE bar.

DT: We’re not guests. We’re here to…

CAPTAIN OBLIVIOUS: Let’s go CB! And get those tickets back!

How long before Mike cracks open a pack of Luckys & starts calling everybody “Joker” ?

Sloppy work, changing apparel Ropers hair in one panel. Even these “storytellers” can’t keep the crossovers straight. Strip gets messier and less creative by the month. This is not a Marvel or D.C. comic book. Please guys, review those Tracy/Gould IDW books and see how a story should be told.

The new guys look a little scuffed in panel 2 but have cleaned up nicely by panel 3.

Steve Roper and Mike Nomad. I can’t believe!!!

An example of Steve & Mike looking almost exactly as presented here …

As explosions go, that was a dud, judging by its lack of effects. More pyrotechnic flash than concussive effect. Sam seems to have been most affected, and even he is relatively undamaged though mussed up a bit.

As for that peculiar Roper-Tracy mash-up in panel 3, SHAME ON THE OBLIVIOUS COLORIST! In panel 2 Roper and Tracy had on their differently colored greyish-brown and yellow coats. In Panel 3, Roper is shown in Tracy-yellow. No excuse for such a blatant error except sheer carelessness (don’t alibi “heavy workload, short time” please; I’m not buying it).

I did not know Mr. Tracy could throw his voice! how long has he been a ventriloquist? that would be quite an interesting storyline

Hmm …

Any chance Splitface might be working with this guy? ✨

I had to look this one up because I’ve been reading some old Steve Roper and Mike Nomad. I wish they’d get their own strip again just for GoComics.
