Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 30, 2013

Exciting! There’s gonna be more fireworks than the Fourth Of July!

And where is she headed?

And whoever said the other day that Bardoll wasn’t too smart was right…Why would he think his shots WOULDN’T be heard? SOME PLAN!

*Will she drive between Dick, Sam and that creep?

I’d also like to know how that creep knows how to operate the Space Coupe?*

Now I wonder where MM/Mysta is headed to.

My guess is that NewMM is heading towards the home of Junior Tracy to get “her” daughter

I would think / hope that with that determined look on her face MM/Mysta (thank you, VistaBill for that) may be driving into the moon suite. For me that will be a determining moment as to whether she is Moon Maid, or not. I’m another pro-original voter, by the way, cheapskate0. Lived through & loved the original run!

By the way, Sgt. Jim Doherty, was that art meant to look like Chief Brandon?

Thanks again, Joe Staton and Mike Curtis and all who bring us “Dick Tracy.” Happy Fourth of July, everyone!

1) More great art with iconic images of Tracy and Sam on the monitors.2) I really doubt Mysta is going to crash into the moon suite (or that she knows where it is).3) Anybody who thought Bardoll wasn’t inside the Space Coupe, turn in your badges!

So Bardoll thinks he’s going to take out Tracy eh? Yet another criminal who didn’t get the memo that Dick Tracy is one of the deadliest shots in the business. Hope you enjoyed your life while you had it Bardoll because with your attitude it’s going to being ending REAL soon….

I think MM/Mysta is escaping and I don’t think she cares where, so long as she’s out of there. Looks to me that she took off in a Smith Industries marked car!

Clone-Moon Maid headed toward the Moon Suite? Might be interesting, but why would she think to head there? She has no idea what’s afoot there—or does she simply have her own plans for the Space Coupe? As for Bardoll, he’s not being too smart by seeking to confront Tracy, Sam, and the Smith Security agent with that gun outfitted for precision targeting (although the big thug does seem to have some ability to fly the Space Coupe, as his monologue today suggests).

Totally agree that Bardoll isn’t too bright, especially thinking he can “take out” Tracy and Sam! Not gonna happen big guy.

What a fantastic story.

Looks like Mysta is going to employ the Walter White technique of taking out the bad guy.

Bardoll did it again.(Toot-ta-toot!)Bardoll did it again.(Toot-ta-toot!)Bardoll did it again.(Toot-ta-toot!)

Why do I get the felling that Bardoll should have worn a pair of shoes with really really thick rubber soles?

Bardoll: “They must have heard me shoot that guard.”You really thought through everything on this caper, didn’t you?

I know now that the second guard wasn’t Bardoll. But the worst is still yet to come. Question is: Who will it be the worst for?

Mysta’s not only committing Grand Theft Auto . . . she’s also not wearing her seatbelt! The crimes keep piling up for this poor girl. ;)

Perhaps it is to the space coupe and just as she gets there Bardoll shoots and she’s in the line of fire, saves Tracy and Sam and dies a second time.

CRIMESTOPPERS this WEEK :

Well it seems Jim Doherty has brought the face of his namesake - – Chief Jim Brandon in, to help illustrate the various titles of the top police officer in various cities.Good to see Brandon again.

she is going to crash & burn!

Mysta’s headed to Junior and Honey, no doubt…..her Moon Maid memories have her believing they are her family…..even though she didn’t connect with Dick

All I know is the latest drawing of Moon Babe is STUNNING! What a great drawing. It’s anyone’s guess as to where she is headed… I say for Honeymoon. Tune in tomorrow!

Where did Bardoll get his SC piloting license? He doesn’t look the type that can fly. Did he file his Flight Plan and get Ground Control clearance? And his would-be passengers?

@Pequod77 said,“Murder most foul in the Moon Suite; ec, etc”As narrated in the voice of Fred Foy, (Lone Ranger)of Don Pardo (various radio and SNL opener)Good job.

Good afternoon everyone…

This is one of the best ever DT stories!

Well at least the van didn’t explode when she started it.

Hey! Check out my interview with Mike Curtis about the return of The Moon Maid, and clues on the next two Dick Tracy story lines – http://popcultureaddict.com/moonmaid/

Bardol looks like an exaggerated Dr. Sail.

Is the Space Coupe that easy to operate?

This is the part where Mrs. Flattop, Mumbles, B.B.Eyes and Blackjack all bust in the door and kidnap Tracy right? Looks like the writers just forgot about that arc.

Murder most foul in the Moon Suite; a guard dead by the door

Security work a risky gig, he’ll return home nevermore.

Bardoll sits at the controls of a Space Coupe he can’t fly

Cursing the Police closing in, he casts an evil eye

At Sam and Tracy on the screen, who’ve entered the Moon Suite

He goes to meet them, weapon raised, no room for retreat.

A dimwitted, heartless, violent thug, he aims to kill the two

Detectives approaching the Space Coupe, a decision he will rue.

Meanwhile Mysta’s missing, the rumpus caused distraction

Pushing pedal to the floor, achieving speed and traction.

Free from the frauds, Ghote and Sail, she hurdles through the night

No more a pawn in their crooked game, she had no choice but flight.

What lies ahead a mystery, in her heart familiar grief

No reunion on the moon: no love, joy or relief.
