Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 15, 2010

Get on with it already!

The man provides his own costume and you expect him to know his part? So demanding!

It appears that the rehearsal is almost finished. Time for the crowds to arrive. How in the world would anyone be able to get to the stairs leading to the entrance? They begin about ten feet up on the pedestal the museum is on.

I’m gonna retire early tonight. Need to get ready for Crimestopper’s Textbook and the weekly color review. Wonder which version of the museum it’ll be?

Goodnight, Bill, sleep well.

This points out a basic flaw with the DT strip: the story has to be padded out to fit both the Monday thru Saturday run and also the Sunday page. A separate storyline from Sunday to Sunday would eliminate this plodding pacing problem for the rest of the week. Wait a minute – I already said that a few times, I’m repeating myself.

This strip is inducing bad habits in me…

As Annie fades into the night TMS continues with this blight Terrible art and rotten script It’s just a load of excrement No excitement comes our way Just tedious boredom day by day The villains are considered poor at best And Tracy surely needs a rest But money is to be made With the rights of the trade His name is what sells the merch While leaving the readers in a lurch But we come back none the less To view this vile, loathsome mess.

Perfection, WW!

“Don’t you people know that young people who are at least 13 years old can have free GoComic accounts?”

Sorry to break this to you, Joe, but most 13 year old kids nowadays – and even younger – hear and say a lot worse than the stuff at this place. I doubt any 13 year old would want to read DT anyway unless he wanted to make a snarky comment.

Today’s strip is severely lacking. Even with how slow the pacing is supposed to be… …you could definitely do more in dialogue. Give me a joke maybe? A punch-out? Anything? You could show a bit of the rehersal or Tracy thinking something is fishy in the script…

Its not so much the snarky comment, it’s having to see the SAME again, again, that we RESENT

It’s one more week, each day without RELENT, Like standing ‘still’ in that Circus TENT

Same old words he’s ’smartly’ BENT, Is he writing from Col. Kadafi’s TENT ?

Some ‘puns’ HE likes, the Authors SENT, But the pacing’s dead, NO new CONTENT !

Joe-Allen “Joe” Doty is the sort who watched SNL with Betty White all the way through, then wrote his local paper and called his local NBC affiliate to complain about the content.

Enough with the forboding already!

Three days in a row with a setup so Blank can make another remark. WE GET IT, MOVE ON!!

I want to leave a wake up call for when something happens…..

Stop stalling and get on with the story already!

“STALLING” ? Sorry, Dick Locher has decided we must all WAIT !

To soften the blow, on Monday we will, after a year and 7 months see ‘Sam Catchem’ at HQ. But you must still WAIT ! Take time off, read the last of ‘Annie’ and come back say, in 10 days time - to see the first stiring of a new movement

All courtesy “CRACKER JACK” Dick Locher..

what exactly are the adult’s only comments? vibrator? opps, i said vibrator. yikes i said vibrator again. if someone, especially a person previously known as unca joe, thinks the comments on this forum will somehow pervert a 13 year old he is truly living in another dimension.

It’s been long past due for this strip to be cancelled.

You could call it a ‘hope’ and a prayer

Great post late yesterday from “Handrew” If you missed it skip back and read it..

It raises a question ! (?) Is TMS’s Comic section a ”dying” entity ? What new strips have they brought on in the past 5 years ? Do they just have ;’OLD’ properties ?

I’m not up to speed on this. Can anyone say ?

Joe Allen I don’t think most teenagers Evan know gocomics exsist(sp). There in to hi tech electronic games, facebook, tweeter or some other I don’t know of texting away in a different lingo.

Does anyone ever know what he’s talking about?

Now you tell us you’re not sure-hey, you’ve been acting(poorly) like a detective for how long?

It’s not that Tracy doesn’t have talent for acting – it’s just that Locher doesn’t have any talent for writing or drawing.

-Cougar :{)

LOCHER ? Did somebody say Locher ? I thought they ‘fired’ him December 2008 and they had in “nodding off” expert Warren Christopher doing the scripts

That way it all fits.

I want Maeder and Slampyak on Dick Tracy!!! Now.

The pious one weighs in again Telling us we are committing sin Our comments do offend his sight For he alone knows what is right Raise your children like he say Or else you will come to rue the day He sets the standards for you and me Guided by a light that only he can see “We must protect the children” is his cry As the forces of evil draw ever nigh Dirty words and innuendo too Have crossed the line that he drew He marks the harlot with the letter “A” And burning a witch will make his day Why oh why can’t we be like him All so proper and so prim Passing judgment on those he feels are dross All the while he’s being nailed to the cross.

Hmm !

And after all those sensational, outspoken adventures … “Pot calling Kettle black” ?

Sydney, welcome back! I hope your short vacation was a pleasant one.

That’s was beautiful wndrwrthg!

I think that I may have your poem embroidered on a pillow.

Very nice indeed!
