Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for December 21, 2015

Wouldn’t bother me at all if this pleasant story continued until after Christmas weekend. It’s a nice respite.

Say her name three times, and she’ll magically appear!

Is Kandi documenting the performance?

Nice strip today :)

.Good morning one and all!.Vitamin’s still Kandikane’s boyfriend!

It’s nice to see Vitamin so happy and it’s nice to see Kandikane again. It’s been awhile since the last time. I hope she can stay with him forever, like she says. (I know that there are some people who don’t like the character for some reason.)

Might a proposal be in the offing …?

Gweedo remarked,While ol’ Vista Bill is out mending fences.-———————————————————-.Good morning Gweedo! Gotta keep the fences in shape… don’t want the cattle ghouls to get out!

“My two shoes click to your clack.” Ha!

You wrote yesterday:But you don’t pay the premium for the Broadcast !

Yes, it’s a shame when you pay extra and still get a hacked up result.

I thought they’d have run off and gotten married after the episode with the Nitrates.

Hoo boy! Kandikane is as hot as peppermint for Vitamin!

Kandikane Lane, videographer of Vitamin Flintheart’s star-turn in Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol! Good for the seasoned veteran! Good for Kandikane! I just hope no foul play rains on their parade….

Ok I must be confused…Kanikane seems to always have a candy cane in her mouth…except at Christmastime?

D’aw! <3

I’m back….for a bit. That “click to my clack” number…..such a lovely, melancholy piece….and the way Magoo (as Scrooge) put a hand on his childhood self and started singing it with him. I enjoyed all the songs in the original “cartoon”…..so tell me: WHO wrote those??

Hey guys, Vitamin gives all of us hope that we can be in our 70’s but still get a hot, young girl 50 years younger!

Music for “Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol” is by Jule Styne; lyrics by Robert Merrill. You can get sheet music here: http://www.alfred.com/Products/Mr-Magoos-Christmas-Carol—00-37044.aspx

Such a sweet strip today.

Somewhat OT: The topic of Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and alterations to subsequent broadcasts, was brought up in the comments last night.You can watch the original commercial breaks and the original ending (without the Misfit Toys) on YouTube:promo and commercial breaks1964 closing creditsI would love to see the original presentation of Mister Magoo. There was supposedly a TIMEX billboard included in the opening Broadway scene.

The footage must exist somewhere.

GUH! Is it evil of me to wish Kandikane dies? In my book shes tied with Frankenmindy for the most irritating character in this strip

who is this Kandy person? is she some invention of Staton and Curtis? ridiculous-hope shes gone very quickly

That Kandi is really sweet!

Vitamin’s a very lucky man.

Ever get the feeling Mike’s going to off Kandi in a very terrible way eventually?

Hi Gweedo. I posted your requested song at Andy Capp. But before you visit there, I think you had better reinforce your computer screen. An enlarged version of my avatar has been posted!

Fun strip. But where’s Kandikane’s cane?

Night-Gaunt49 advised,and you could get infected and become one as per Lovecraft’s data on the ghouls.-—————————————————————————.Shudder!

Gweedo firmly stated,The little hellions should have the “pleasure” of an up close encounter !-————————————————————.The zombies would soon follow.

Gweedo cautioned,The zombies hardly notice me now since finding out that I have no brains.-——————————————————-.What a disappointment of a hungry zombie! It’s a good thing “Brains Are Us™” is open 24 hours a day.

@Ken in Ohio

My thoughts exactly. I’m not happy with the thought but I happen to know how this strip goes.

Personally I find this refreshing. This strip has been very modern. A true gay character (George Taki) and male too since woman are more socially ‘acceptable’ being gay. Two teen age girls who are strong leads, and even an older man, with a younger woman.

Of course we need a good Cougar, and her ‘kitty’ giggle</> but all in good time, (nudge nudge hint, hint, wink, wink Team Tracy ;)

—I have no problem with the character, but I hope this isn’t some kind of ominous foreshadowing here. When I read “You’ll never be alone in this world anymore, Vitamin.”, I found myself thinking “Oh-oh!”

Gweedo confessed,I rent brains for when I am away from the cemetery. I carry a prepaid Renta-Brain+ card that bills me for only actual times smart.-—————————————————————-.Wow! Brains as well as Brain rentals are illegal in Maryland. “A Zombie Free State™”!

Night-Gaunt49 sent wave of fear,They are virtually immortal though and are very hard to kill.-—————————————————————-.Shudder! You are a wealth of zombie knowledge, Night-Gaunt49!

More to fear from Night-Gaunt49,The creation of synthetic brains have been a boon to zombie kind.-—————————————————————————-.I’m glad Maryland is a “Zombie Free State™”! John Carpenter’s Zombie Border Patrol makes sure anyone entering Maryland has been “dezombified”.

Gweedo remarked,As you may have noticed, by now, – It’s They’re legal here !!!-————————————————————-.Huh?

Gweedo put more fear into me,He walks among us, Bill !-———————————————————————-.I’m a-going to make sure the coffin is locked up tight tonight!

I’m not surprised Kandikane would stay with him. Didn’t she, er, seduce him several months ago?
