Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for April 08, 2010

Another invitation! A murder mystery party, eh?

Good morning all.

I’ll go! I’ll go! Good morning, VB! Burl Ives?

Yep! I can’t seem to decide on an avatar! Pretty spring flower avatar, margueritem.

We’ve seen Dick’s laissez-faire approach to actual murder investigations; I shudder to think how he’d comport himself in a pretend one.

Something tells me, however, that… I don’t know…

Could this murder mystery party be part of some elaborate, needlessly complicated plot at actually commit a real murder?

Naaaah….

Good guess, FlightSuit.

VistaBill so many avatars, so little time! ;-) Mine is a white trillium.

I wonder what the characters will look like and what will their names be in this newest tale? Betcha it’ll last until Thanksgiving.

Oh I’m sure they will have normal names like Seral Killa and Joe Redrum

Haw, hah, ART2!

Say, isn’t trillium the ore that they were refining in order to power their ships in Battlestar Galactica?

Mr Spock once pretended to be a trader in trillium and kevas.

Didn’t Locher do something like this with the haunted house?

The Red Trillium will be blooming around the house soon. We also have Painted Trillium, and I have seen Yellow Trillium, very rare.

Nice avatar marg.

Wasn’t Trillium the name of a woman on some old SF series, like “Dr. Who” or maybe the “Hitchiker’s Guide” trilogy? Oh, maybe that was her name…Trilogy.

The trillium is best when it is dried in a mesh bag, crumbled, and smoked in a tiny metallic pipe,

I read the Hitchiker’s trilogy 25 years ago. Wasn’t there 5 books in that trilogy?

It is illegal here to pick Trillium, but thank God a good old boy can still bulldoze 3 acres for a strip mall.

I get enough at work - unless maybe I really like the person who’s giving it. meh

Another new story, at least the artwork has been consistent and much better!

Way to go Locher! It is only the first day… plot is obvious.

(a haiku)

Wasn’t Dick invited to some kind of murder mystery before? At the Governors house? Seems like Tess had some great scheme for ‘fun’ planned around a mystery at Halloween involving Detective Tracey. Now it’s his turn.

Wow The Tracys live in a split level ranch!

Yes…there was a story involving a “haunted mansion” that went from around Halloween to past New Year’s…it was 2 years ago. Let’s see…Easter was last Sunday…so this new story will probably go til around July 4th. Maybe.

That was fun yesterday second guessing the letter. But alas back to reality. You know DT will go to the murder mystery, which could turn out real.

Oh yeah, this is going to be a lot better than the last one!

Panel 2: Dick wants to get a double Cheeseburger from BK, but he’s got these tiny hands!

Ray C, “Trillian” was a character in Hitchhiker’s Guide. It turned out to be short for “Tricia McMillan.”

I’m thinking maybe Dick will go to the murder party and a symphonic concert will break out.

Dick and Tess will go to a party, and Dick will stand around and observe a murder and investigation and not actually do any real work to solve the mystery other than make comments.

Have you ever woke in the morning and heard some stupid song, and all day you can’t get it out of your head? Something like Shirley Ellis and “The Name Game”? Well, the party is at symphony hall, hosted by the Maestro and the Ringtones

Is Locher having Groundhog Day Syndrome?
