Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for December 24, 2012

What do they see?? Talk about a cliffhanger!

Won’t know until Christmas!

The Moon People are gone?

Actually, that may satisfy posters on both sides of the Moon Maid controversy.

DrSid1 said, 3 minutes agoThe suspence and we won’t find out ’til after Christmas. Diet is back to looking like his non-Gouldian self.

What they see (grin)

Probably lots of advertising signs.

Or a Disney Theme Park.

Let ME see!

ye gods! it’s Alice Kramden!

great cliffhanger indeed! I was never a big fan of the whole 60’s moon stuff, but I’m always interested to see where the new Team Tracy takes us. If it’s to the moon again, then so be it! and you know they’ve been planning this all along (if they hadn’t, they wouldn’t have shown us Diet with all the moon transportation stuff early on when they took over!)

Anything is better than this

I know! They see R. Daneel Olivaw.

I bet it’s a HUGE welcome reception!

Great stuff today, Mikeyj!

ARRGH! A build-up like this and we have to wait til the 26th!At least the great comments today make up for the wait!That’s right – I come for the comics, and stay for the comments!

the ship is named Sparkle Plenty? And should Diet be smoking in the Moon Coupe?

Destroyed? Great cliffhanger!

It’s probably an Obama poster.

Diet is unrecognizable again. Pity, yesterday he was beautifully drawn in Gould-reminiscent style.

They willl have to contact Gidney and Cloyd. Or the Metal Munching Moon Mice.

We have to wait?? Oy!

“Diet is unrecognizable again. Pity, yesterday he was beautifully drawn in Gould-reminiscent style.”Interesting. The Sunday strips are drawn earlier than the dailies, which may account for some of the stylistic differences. Joe Staton’s art has been slowly evolving since he took over the strip, and that’s probably a factor, too. I’ve noticed differences in the way Honeymoon looks between Sundays and dailies, too (more angular features in the Sundays, softer in the dailies).

A few posters today have suggested they might be seeing a giant welcoming party. But, their facial expressions would seem to indicate an unpleasant surprise, rather than something pleasant. Who knows? I guess we’ll find out tomorrow. Anyway, BLESSED CHRISTMAS to you all.

I know! A new Star Bucks location!!

What? No Elvis?

Oh, no, Mr. Tracy! What has happened to Moon Valley? I’m cliffhung and can’t wait for the Big Reveal! As Honeymoon is saying, let me see!

The find the Justice League Watch Tower.

In a real world it might matter.

Good Morning and Merry Christmas Detectives!What do they see? I bet it’s a McDonald’s; they’re everywhere!Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Mele Kalikimaka, Joyeux Noel, (insert language of choice here) and bless every one of you.

“They’re dancing Gangnam Style!”

I definitely prefer the look of the dailies

It is Rudolph without his 8 buddies & a sleigh.

I remember a story arc when Wonder Woman returned to Paradise Island and found it in ruins, her sister’s slain and the Island destroyed by the angry Gods. I HOPE that isn’t the case here. It will be horrible if this is the case in Moon Valley. I want a happy reunion! : (

Merry Christmas, guys!

Mikeyj – can you PLS contact me thru my personal addy? I was hoping to ask you a few questions, if you don’t mind. I am at pianist58@msn.com . MERRY CHRISTMAS to you!

Quite an image! Diet actually lost his cigar.

And judging by their position, in orbit. Something big is showing. Catastrophe? I think at christmas, I’ll be reading this, instead of going downstairs awaiting St. Nick.

The price of a gallon of gas is 5.9 cents…

Great strip, though the colorist jacked it up. Space Coupe shouldn’t be blue, and neither should the moon.WHAT DO THEY SEE???

What a great great strip filled with suspense. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s strip.

The welcome wagon lady, waiting to greet them.

AWESOME mikeyj! original creations of yours?

Ursa, from Superman 2?

Good evening all…

Hope everyone has a very merry Christmas!

Yeah, looks like whatever it is they see is not good. Wow, is this strip entertaining. I have never looked forward to reading a daily like I do now. Hooray for Curtis and Staton, and Merry Christmas to all!

Jack Klugman dies at age 90

HAHAHA!!! Sailor Moon and the gang, eh? :D

Oops, and I forgot to mention, AUUGGHHHHH!! We have to wait until Thursday to find out what they’re seeing??

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Haha!! Great pic, thanks!

This story is so exciting. I can’t wait to find out what happens next! Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
