Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 09, 2015

Wrong physically, or is it that she’s being bullied?

This is going to be interesting.

Teenage Annie knew the dealWas always better to keep it realNo sense in hiding from the factsLying felt like a bed of tacksHer friend had issues and needed helpJust like her pants held up with a beltAnnie’s support would see her throughWhat else was a friend suppose to doWe all have quirks that make us uniqueI have eyes that never blinkHoneymoon’s no different than all the restBut she’s my friend and that makes me feel blessed.

Good morning everyone. I just got home from the Jeff Awards Ceremony where I won the Jeff as Best Scenic Designer.

The Jeff Awards are the Chicago equivalent of New York’s Tony Awards.

Honeymoon has Moon eyes and Annie is Moon-eyed.

Wow! Nicely done, Ray!

I’m happy to see Annie. Bad guys don’t have a chance.

I’m happy to see Annie. Bad guys don’t have a chance.

Congrats on the win and Honey is pregnant

Congratulations, fellow Chicagolander Ray Toler! Here is Chris Jones’s list of the Jeff Award winners, with Ray for Scenic Design….

It is good that Honeymoon is going to unburden herself for Junior (and Mysta). But what her secret is, is yet unclear. Could she be budding antennae?

Good morning guys!

Congratulations Ray! Nice poetry Avenoger09!

Honeymoon doesn’t want to lie if she doesn’t have to.

Wonder what has Honeymoon so flustered?

And Congrat Ray!

Junior calling her “Honey” today (panel one) - seems to suggests, that that the TEXT attributed yesterday, was “faulty” !

gweedo, whatever happened to SPUD AND MARTY? ;)

personally I think its the bald patch on Honey’s left temple that’s causing her such stress ;)

Annie wanted to be a teacher, but failed at it because she didn’t have any pupils.

I think she’s being bullied. Read a report recently that Tracy will be addressing this epidemic in the upcoming storyline.

Kids get picked on for having a zit. Imagine the reaction she’d get if she began growing horns.(I’m sure there would be some calling her Satanic, but I’m sure Mike and Joe won’t go there.)

And when she is bullied she zaps them all to cinders.-—————————————————-She shouldn’t have to fry more than one or two before the other bullies get the message and become model citizens.—If Annie goes the route she used to, socking a few bullies, she’d likely end up in more trouble then the bullies.Maybe Mysta can zap one. Or two…

Ah HA! I was wrong yesterday (no surprise there).I’m glad to see Honeymoon has a nickname.(I’m sure kids made fun of her name; those are always easy targets.)

I’m glad that it was clarified that the 3-hour period between Mysta waking up and her showing up at the Tracy Jr. house was not wanting to wake everyone unnecessarily, So, even though Mysta felt that Honey was in some type of trouble, it wasn’t the type that put Honey in imminent danger.

Good morning Annie and Honeymoon fans and the ‘Always Happy’ Gweedo.-—-@Ray Toler: congratulations. Way to go, Ray!-—-@avenger09: sweet poem.-—-Have a beautiful day my friends.

Come on—- give up this Moon stuff. Even Chester Gould had to after the strip was being dropped left and right. It’s ridiculous.Try to get back to what made Dick Tracy a great strip.

SO glad to resume the Mysta storyline

Yeah, Syd, Judy Hansel could do the “Dance of a Thousand Veils.” She’d need a brass pole, though.

The COLORING of ’today’s’ GoComics Dick Tracy strip, has really “impressed” !

The relevant individual should be congratulated !

@ avenger09I am glad to see you are still composing poetry. It’s always enjoyable.@ Ray TolerCongratulations on winning the Jeff Award!I haven’t been here for quite a while, due to having major home remodeling work done. I am doing some of the basics and leaving the work that is beyond my expertise (plus lack of proper tools) to a contractor. Plus cleaning out years of accumulated stuff…mostly junk.This missing gold shipment story was fun. I think we will see more resolutions to that story in bits and pieces over the next few weeks.

Thanks everyone for the kind, not so kind and everything in between comments!

Avenger, thank you for your continuing efforts to entertain and enlighten us! And most of all, thanks for your wit, to wit, we get a collective chance to look deep inside you wit(h). You are an astonishing young fella!

And when she is bullied she zaps them all to cinders.That could happen but hopefully, Honeymoon will use a litte restraint with any zapping capabilities she might have.

I really do see your point, NG. I guess it’s just that IMO, leaving Earth to find stories on the moon took DT out of one genre and into another, which I was not comfortable with. But, like I said earlier, I’m along for the ride, even as I hope for more Earth bound stories which, to me, are classic DT.

“I have a craving for giant escargot!”

Thanks everyone for all of the congratulatory comments.

The fantastical is mainstream in 2015.

said: “Hey, maybe the missing gold turned up at your place!”I could use some of that gold, because there is the possibility of another material turning up in the old siding. Namely, asbestos. Right now samples of the siding are being tested for said material. If asbestos is present, then a licensed abatement company will need to be hired to remove and dispose of it. The house was built over 60 years ago when asbestos was widely used, so there is a strong possibility it will show up. I would rather find the gold.

said: “The season is high for making hay. Cold will return before we would like.”Hopefully by then most of the remodeling work will be done.

Thank you for the heads up.I don’t think the siding by itself is dangerous… it’s when they do the actual removal and dust and particles get stirred up is when it can lead to problems. The main contractor said asbestos may only be present in negligible quantities.The test results are supposed to be back in about three days.

Mike and Joe, love to goBack and forth like a toy yoyoOne day up, the next day downSeems they love to clown aroundA train, a boat, a fatal dipA friend, a mug, a phoney chickThe gold I’d never care as muchAs learning if Bill buys Rikki lunchPerhaps one day this all will endBut certainly till then we can dependThat MJ’ll make us twist and turnAnd beg for Johnny’s fate to learn.

.

What can I say, this is what you get on a slow news day.
