Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 12, 2010

Wake me up!

Has the Science Museum returned to the “old” size? And it appears that Anja Nu is young again!

Good morning all.

Hi, VB! Yes, it appears that the museum is on the corner again…

How can we ‘remember’ you when you have nothing that we can recall?

Science Museum has shrunken back to its original configuration, complete with giant vibrators leaning against the side of the building.

Those vibrators are back.

OK. I suppose we can start over again. Ya’ gotta love DT! If you miss a week (or even a month), nothing’s lost.

Flight Suit said, “It’s like we’re looking at two completely different buildings.”

Maybe we’re looking at a hologram.

Let me put on my 8-year-old-fanboy thinking cap and write an ending to this adventure.

During the opening night of the play, Johnny Nothing switches a prop gun for a real one loaded with a bullet. Johnny shoots Tracy. Tracy falls back dead on the stage. Then Johnny reveals what has happened to the shocked audience and Anja Nu. Suddenly Tracy leaps up; he’s not dead. “How can this be?!” says Johnny Nothing. Tracy smiles. He replies: “I put a blank in your gun! An appropriate trick for the Blank’s grandson, eh?”

OK, instead of waiting until October for this ending, go outside and enjoy the warm weather and fresh air.

This has been a public service announcement by Panel-Panner.

If there’s going to be a prop-gun fired, I hope there will be a Funny Dead Duck.

^ EVERYONE loves the circus.

And look at that scarf-the wind’s blowing again

Please…TMS Editors…why can’t you catch these continuity errors! This is ridiculous that you let this travesty continue. Don’t you care about what people think about this strip??? Obviously not, since you’ve been letting this bleeep continue on the printed page for years!!!

“Fanboy.” Haven’t heard that word used here for a while have we, Ludwig?

Not wind, exactly…hot air from Johnny.

@margueritem, “nothing” is exactly what Johnny is remembered for.

There’s a 16-year-old in EVERY high school art class with more cartooning skill than the creators of this strip.

Now it’s making some sense. In the last panel we can see that Johnny Nothing is just some guy with a bag over his head.

Once again we can’t see who’s talking and don’t know who said that. :(

The Science Museum is really cool. The entrance is apparently some kind of conveyor belt since steps would be indented.

I hate to break it to you, but “the world” is not very likely to see your performance in an amateur play taking place at the Generic Science Museum.

Maybe the Science Museum was built with TARDIS technology =))

The vibrators on the side of the museum look sort of like elongated R2-D2’s to me.
