Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for January 04, 2010

Hey Aunt Marg……….I need a “pig on wheels” fix. It looks just like the one in the circus.

Just for you, little Roseann.

Do you get the feeling that Dad hates his son? He’s only mentioned it about four or five times.

Thank You very much………..I reckon I can catch a fish with this one. ;-)

They both need anger management classes.

That last panel is a real clef hanger.

What’s a treble?

leakysqueaky712 nice to have you around again.

“You said your son was starting a rock group. We can find him.”

How, Tracy? You gonna take advantage of your many connections in the long-hair music scene?

Jeepers but the old man healed fast - is it suddenly 3 days later that the bandage and bruises are gone?

Why? Why? WHY do we continue to support the talentless Locher???

Yea! The Pig on Wheels is back!

Although not in today’s strip, Telly must really trust Chris Chendo. He not only gave him the Stradivarius to convert, but paid him in advance with a doctor’s bag full of money. What’s to stop Chris from disappearing with both?

*CougarAllen said, a few days ago: Well, Sid Vicious isn’t around any more, and his heirs are unlikely to sue over what we’ve seen so far. I wonder how far Locher will go, though. Will Kid Vicious join up with Jimmy Rotten to form a band called the Sex Guns? *

Personally, I was hoping for the “Copulation Carbines”

Did someone mention the spelling of “Chris Chendo vs. Chris Shendo”? I can’t read all the comments and digest them. That requires THOUGHT, which when you think about it, you can’t follow this comic (Which I guess, is the whole point).

Flight Suit, Flight Suit….”long hair music” is classical music. Tray-C is much more in to the Hip-Hop scene, with a working knowledge of Emo groups. ;-)

Another cut and paste of the concert hall in panel 2. One more, and I nominate it as a candidate for its own strip.

For days (actually weeks) now, Phil Harmonic has wanted to kill his son and now, he doesn’t give a treble about him. He only wants Tracy to find his violin. There’s no snow at the concert hall, but it’s been snowing on the street where the kid’s been organizing his group!

leakysqueaky712 : that was hilarious! “I don’t give a treble”? Lord, help us all. When you’re that mad, you don’t think up cute puns. “The Trouble With Trebles”… Hasn’t he spent a couple of weeks saying that he wants his son so he can kill him? Now all of a sudden he doesn’t care about him. I guess he’s going to switch back to the case of the missing hilarious Stradivarius. More up Tracy’s alley, if he even has an alley anymore.

Yes fishbulb, The “seventh” manifestation. Strange thing is everytime we get an ouside shot of Ludwig calling Janet or Bruce - it’s in heavy SNOW FALL, …yet not ONE “flake” ever hits this charmed building or it’s sidewalks (?)

It retains it’s identity as a Mecanno Toy building, safely tucked away from the elements while Ludwig flaunts his Joe Bifspik credentials - using “snow” rather than dark rainy clouds.

Yes, I’m nitpicking !

Wow. What’s with the freakishly tiny hand?

Hi guys, someone knows where is onlines the new comic strip “Dustin” from King Features?

Thanks in advance

awww, isn’t that the cutest little deformed hand you’ll ever see….and I like the way he brings up that little paw to his face to make gestures….more time has been spent on coming up with lame puns than drawing the human form in a semblance of reality

but that’s just me

If he drew the head smaller, it wouldn’t fill up the panel, thus saving him from having to draw in background…

“You don’t get it, detective.”

Sums up the strip very nicely, don’t you think?

Or should it be, “You don’t get it, cartoonist”?

I’m a programmer. Should I be talking in computer puns?

Why is “long hair” classical music, when rock musicians have long hair and classical artists don’t?

If Phillip Harmonic could be persuaded to unclench his teeth he might just be able to squeeze that little boy fist - inside his mouth.

Persistent with those dwarf fingers and hands. You know what they say about artists (?) They draw what they “see” around them. And it doest make one wonder (?)

ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz……………

Margueritem: it’s great to see the pig on wheels again. Hope you post it every day. We all love it. Well…almost all.

Ray_C well you can’t please everyone….

Let’s see, that’s 3 requests for the Pig, one against.

One among us thought they saw a concession stand and another person thought they saw a cannon. The rest of us saw a pig on wheels. Long live the pig on wheels!

Seeing marguritem’s pig on wheels certainly brightens my day!

FOR CARLO

Forget the Pig On Wheels I want Sam Catchem

Thanks oink.

Meanwhile, my strip number 9 it’s online:

As usual, nothing happens on Monday.

Keep the pig, baby, keep the pig.

Hey Joe Dooty………you need a nice trip to Hawaii………you know what they do soon as you get off the plane? You’ll feel much better.

Count me in for “happy time” with the Pig on Wheels.

I see it’s visual form as a rebuttal to the nonsense being foisted on us in the current strip - a symbol of “protest”, a redicule to tell the Author that the Pig that came per chance, as a “prop”, by “mistake”, now has greaterr interest value to readers, than the two recent limp stories combined

Like over at the Blue Circle ”Hail the Pig on Wheels”! ;)

The bleeep thing moves faster

Per last couple of days. Janet Joplin? Seriously? Come on people! Is that Janis Joplins sister or something?

Sydney Phillips said, “Count me in for “happy time” with the Pig on Wheels. Like over at the Blue Circle ”Hail the Pig on Wheels”! ;)”

It appears that the Pig on Wheels is one of the family now! Thanks margueritem and Flight Suit for your efforts in making this possible.

Three cheers for the Pig on Wheels!

Now we can buy a Pig on Wheels just like margueritem has…

Holy cow, there’s an elephant on wheels, too.

margueritem said, “Holy cow, there’s an elephant on wheels, too.”

Yep! There’s no holy cow on wheels, though. I like the pig best. BTW, margueritem, did your pig on wheels survive the new year’s eve party? He sure looked like he was really ready to roll!

He survived in style. (The designated driver was a life saver, though.)

Dick must save the rock wannabe from his evil egotistical father.
