Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for October 24, 2018

Good morning™, fabulous readers!

They delayed the wedding to do it with their friends. Vitamin has wanted to start a family for years. He’s finally getting the happiness he deserves after the tragedy of many years ago.

Vitamin looks quite deranged and Kandikane’s kid is going to be born addicted to sugar!

LOL!

How silly all of this has become!

Vitamin wedded.

And Kandikane expecting.

Surprises ensue.

Good morning, shotgun wedding participants! With that expression on his face I’m not quite sure: is Vitamin excited, terrified, or both?!

The word wrap in comments here is still not fixed. I posted a workaround at http://worldofdt.info/gchelp.html if anyone wants it.

Kind of late for marriage?

Nice to have these little breaks so that there can be some human interaction. Makes the violence more real.

Good morning™, Psycho dads !

What will these crazy mixed up kids do next !?!

After hearing our 10th President, John Tyler, still has living grandchildren, this scenerio with Vitamin is easy to believe….

So, Vitamin marries into the famous Lane clan. I wonder…are we going to see crossovers amongst the wedding guests?

Not that I begrudge Vitamin fatherhood, but he won’t be around to see the kid graduate from high school, and probably not that long. What was he thinking?

Lizz is showing her age today, don’tcha think???

I’m “calling” it right here…. she’s gonna pop out a girl, and in a surprise crossover with PEANUTS, the kid will be named PEPPERMINT

Kandy Kane looks so…..well…..sweet.

Colors seem very vivid today to me, It looks like a good story coming up!

Does anybody else get a taste of Bob Oscar and Gravel Gerty in that last panel?

So the old coot knocked her up before getting married.

Talk about a “May December” marriage!

Well, better getting the sequence backwards than not at all…

So, for sake of argument lets say that Vitamin is 75, and lets say that kandikane (ugh i hate that character) is 26 (eight years for college videography degree) that means Vitamin is AT LEAST old enough to be her grandfather, in fact he is NEARLY three times her age. and THAT is going by him having a kid when he was 30.

If we knock his age down to 25 and having a kid, then it gets even CREEPIER!

Abbott: You’re 40 years old, and you’re in love with a little girl, say 10 years old. You’re four times as old as that girl. You couldn’t marry that girl, could you?

Costello: No.

Abbott: So you wait 5 years. Now the little girl is 15, and you’re 45. You’re only three times as old as that girl. So you wait 15 years more. Now the little girl is 30, and you’re 60. You’re only twice as old as that little girl.

Costello: She’s catching up!

Abbott: Here’s the question. How long do you have to wait before you and that little girl are the same age?

Costello: What kind of question is that? That’s ridiculous. If I keep waiting for that girl, she’ll pass me up. She’ll wind up older than I am. Then she’ll have to wait for me!

Way back in the early days of DT ( Chester Gould the original cartoonist) did some really silly story lines, some characters still appearing today

I like the oddball stuff. If it were a straight crime drama, I wouldn’t bother with it.

Have the ceremony quick, Vitamin, before Joe & Mike segue to another storyline…

I like Kandikane Lane. She is a sweetie in so many ways. But it is about time Vitamin gets around to marrying her: she seems to be at least six months pregnant, if not more. Did his tour really last that long?! I should think he’d have to be a major star (again), or be part of a national touring company, for such a long tour, and neither seems to be the case, IMO.

What I like less is the possibility that Volkov could cause some serious trouble for the happy couple….

I don’t think anyone has said she is expecting, I think she is just bloated on too much candy
