I can’t see the comic strip! Can’t see Frog Applause either. Other people have already commented on FA, however, so I know it’s up there. Tried a different browser, but even after emptying the cache, it’s still displaying yesterday’s strip and comments.
Today’s comic strip is the best Dick Tracy in months! So good in fact, that no-doubt GoComics will censor it so as to ensure Calvin & Hobbes’ subscriber lead.
But I have made sure to save its majesty for posterity and those normal people who are actually sleeping at this hour (3:00 AM ET) who’ll likely miss it too.
That’s beautiful! Every time I turn around somebody on GoComics is honoring me with further fame and immortality!
By the way, using FireFox 3.6 or Safari on a Mac, I can’t even see the rectangular space where the strip’s supposed to be. Nor can I see the little red X.
“A frozen wind had begun to blow
Over their boots and around their toes”
It was the worst blizzard in Naperville History
What was happening to Tracy was a total mystery
Virgil had been shot and sonny boy too
But if they are dead we haven’t a clue
Tracy groped and staggered and stumbled and tripped
Being it was St. Pattys day, so he may have been ripped
Oh what can save him from this snowy doom?
Why nothing more than a great big ol’ FLOOOOM
Looks like Dick is once again taking it upon himself to declare a person dead at a glance. We’ve gone into how stupid and dangerous that is in previous adventures. I hate to think of children reading this stuff and thinking that’s the way to act.
Dick Tracy - “He can’t Maestro .. cause I accidentally shot him while trying to hit that other guy… sorry.. its the short arms you see makes it hard to aim.. Good news is Virgil’s shot ricocheted off your massive head and he ended up shooting himself in the spleen… I really should try stopping the bleeding but he’s a bad guy so I’ll just stand here and look sad till the next story starts.
Tess - “Dick there is a phone call for you !”
Dick Tracy - “Ahh here comes the next story now !”
I’m able to see the go comics. Well Maestro you wanted your son dead but at your hands only. So sad.
This action happened real fast.
Have a great St. Patty’s day everyone. What is the saying for today?
(Translation: FLOOOOOMM forever! Do not say “Erin go FLOOOOOMM” – that could be considered unfortunate by Irish people who don’t want Ireland to go FLOOOOOMM.)

Same thing here. No 2 Cows & Chicken, Brenda Star, Broom Hilda, etc Did most of the cartoonist go on strike today?

No Annie, either. However, I can see The City. Maybe that means something…
FLIGHT SUIT almost 15 years ago
Well we can just make up our own installment, then! Let’s see…
I’m picturing a close-up of Maestro’s face, and he’s exclaiming “Son!”
DT is either still muttering into his watch, or he’s standing over Virgil, asking “Why?”
Any further progress is too much to hope for.
Vista Bill Raley and Comet™ almost 15 years ago
There’s hope here…

BTW. margueritem, they have Annie there, too.
Good morning all. I’m off to slumberland!

I can see FA and Calvin and Cul-de-Sac, but not much else, and I switched to Firefox.

Tess is still standing there, going, “DICK!”

Dick’s arm is still too short, and the Maestro’s head is still too big.

Thanks, VistaBill! Have a good night!

Well, in today’s comic, Dick looks sad in the last panel as he sees that the lad is d e a d.

Not much to miss, just Phil bemoaning the loss of his son, saying “speak to me son” and Tracy adding “He can’y Maestro” !
See it here, along with the OTHER TMS strips

Perhaps the last FLOOOOM destroyed Gocomics (?)

Hmmm. The only 2 strips visible for me are Lio & Calvin & Hobbes.

Since censorship is the norm here, maybe Locher’s work is offensive to Liam and he bleeped today’s installment. WTG Liam!

Oh, I get it now. The weeks and weeks of “I’ll kill him!” was foreshadowing. Did someone finally finish his first correspondence course in writing?

The only red x’s I see on this one now are in the son’s eyes. He’s kaput, extinct, deceased, assumed room temperature.
