Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for October 14, 2010

The action’s too fast for me to keep up!

Wow! Between panel 2 and panel 3, Spacy got 2 teeth knocked out.

What exactly is your job, Mac?

Yeah, Thick, do your job! Arrest him for littering! Be sure to pick up as much of the evidence as you can! But not just yet, because that would mean too much action and thrills for the Locher Mess Monster to recap on Sunday!

Meanwhile, Thick’s skull has become so vacuous that it has sucked his cap into the space that should be occupied by a brain.

Too bad Thick is so busy he doesn’t have time to say “Police! I’m Detective Thick Spacy!”

Who’s grabbing Tracy? None of the homeless guys were wearing black coats. Could those be the arms of police officers in panel two? Probably they are, and were called because Tracy, by himself and homeless for many years, was having a fit and tackling random strangers. All those thousand dollar bills floating around? Just more of his hallucinations.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz-zzzzzzzzzz

Well, Thick, I’d say that what he’s doing is not helping you, given that at least two men have a tight grip on you.

Hey, wait, how do we know it’s men holding Thick? What if those are Floating Disembodied Hands From Mars? They’ve come to Earth because Mars needs a hand! They’re sexually attracted to Thick’s extra hands! So dainty, so petite, so alluring! And now it’s a case of “Greetings, Earthling! This is how we reproduce!”

it’s 5:30 in the morn here when does D.T. go on line? I am older than all of you I bet. I do read Dick Tracy by Locher everyday, (just not online) and was just wondering what’s you guys beef?

margueritem you’ll have to do something about your snoring, you woke me up!

“Manos, the Floating Disembodied Hands of Fate.”

Why would Spacy want to start doing his job now? Also appears we have a new member in the SimonPenn society.

Let’s have a contest! Who can guess next week’s answer to Thick’s question!

“What are you doing?” Thick says, seeing that Sue Shi has dressed like Little Egypt and begun a sinuous dance. Is this an effort to introduce a heterosexual element to this arc? No, for Thick now realizes Sue Shi has dressed like Salome and is doing the Dance of the Seven Veils, while off to the side D-cubed wears a Herod costume and is about to cast Thick in the role of John the Baptist.

To win this contest you must either guess Locher’s answer or come up with an even more bizarre idea than his. I’m sure my suggestion doesn’t measure up to that standard.

Now the crowd is throwing bricks at Tracy too! Knocking his teeth out! But that’s not the worst of it – some sort of creature with an enormous hand and an arm that reaches up WAY over Tracy’s head has muckled onto him! If Tracy is six feet tall that creature must be nine or ten feet tall. I can hardly wait to see what happens next!

Don’t be fooled by the apparently disembodied hand in Panel 1, though. That’s not so eerie – it’s just that the crowd are running short of bricks so some of them are filling gloves with sand to throw instead. I don’t know why they’re painting fingernails on them….

If it were cops holding Macy’s shoulders, why would they call him “Mac”? Mac is what the homeless gang called Macy. Do they now have dark long sleeved dinner jackets now?

I guess all is forgiven for tackling D-Cubed earlier and now theyre teaming up. Or wait, maybe they knew each other from the beginning and this is all some conspiracy against the homeless.

Hey, c’mon, guys! Let me be a policeman! Please?

Policemen ? And there it was I thought Thick was doing a Smilin’ Jack ‘impersination’ IN panel 2 … and they were about to send him FLYING

If he’s Mac, could one of the criminal vagrants be the Hamburglar?

Is it just me or does Tracy look like he is on 1 of those game shows where he’s trying 2 catch money that is flying around? Still trying 2 grasp on2 this story…

Please guys, don’t stop with the comments! It’s what I came back for!!

Oh my!

This is so exciting!

Who is Macy talking to? BO Plenty? He’d be down there gettin’ his share of the dough!

Am I the only one having trouble logging on to this site today?

morrow, gocomics has been having problems for the past few days. Earlier this morning they had a message about site maintenance. I think their server was dragged down by the sheer dumbness of Thick Spacy.

I think that Spacy is speaking to Testicle Chin, Horn Hair and the Keystone Kops. They’re standing outside the alley entrance and making bets on how much longer this lunacy will drag on.

It’s almost Halloween. Perhaps Thick will be burned at the stake.

in addition to being stupid and lame, this strip is really lazy. finally there’s a bit of action (or something resembling action) and all we see is macspacy’s mug

“what are you doing? Get your hands offa me!….Oh, well, this is so sudden! you can touch me there.”

NO morrow -** I’ve been having the same problem too.

Maybe it’s because Dick Tracy has become so EXCITING recently - that the the entire comics crowd in America is overcrowding the site..

If the homeless guys kill D-cubed, will Thick find himself facing a police review board for his actions?

I posted thes late last night. Hope more of yo get to check out Billy Mumy between his Twilight Zone gigs and Lost in Space!
