Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for April 26, 2019

Good morning™, shocked readers!

Could you be more surprised than Vitamin Flintheart? It seems like this baby has been expected for too long. Did we already speculate on the name of this baby?

Well, at least one dangling thread just got wrapped.

Good morning™, New daddies !

With the Kandikid finally happening there’s hope for Joe and Bonnie.

The baby has a suspiciously sharp chin!

There is always adoption.

Vitamin was 50 in 1944. Now he should be 125! Quite an age to be a father! And talk of May-December romance!

WOW – talk about something coming out of DEEP left field…..

Well another Flintheart is born, will it be a boy or girl???

Is there Any Hospital left where females wear skirts?

Is there any hospital where the father doesn’t attend in the delivery room? That was the way when my generation was born, but when I had kids, we Dads were always expected to be part of the proceedings. No drama for Vitamin!

Considering how old Vitamin is, it wouldn’t surprise me if Kandi gave birth to a senior citizen lol!

“Baby Pruneface” perhaps? lol

So we had BB eyes yesterday, and Baby eyes today

Topper Magazine? What happened to the at least two-month-old golf and stock periodicals?

Would that be Cosmo Topper? (“Topper Returns”)

Vitamin likes doing SOMETHINGS the old fashioned way. He’s in the “father’s waiting room” while Kandi is in L&D, doing all the work. And, a nurse in a crisp white uniform and cap, tells him when VItamin, Jr. has come. That’s what Vitamin might imagine will be happening. In the real world, he’s in there with Kandi, seeing her sweat, struggle, and, etc., while he’s holding her hand, encouraging her. A nurse in scrubs takes the baby, after Kandi delivers, measures, run the tests, and, then pressents the baby to VItamin who is in scrubs himself.

So the baby was born in 1965? He just sits in the waiting room?

I remember the old “Topper” show on tv. Not bad IIRC. Been a long time.

In real life, he would have been in the delivery room, unless he’s too old fashioned for that sort of thing.

Ooo congratulations to Vitamin, and Kandy! I hope that the entire Tracy team will be there soon!

Now I’m taking all bets on the baby name! Paying 100 to 1! :)

Alt Script: 1- Tracy’s dad starts to doze while reading his “Gentleman’s” magazine… 2- TRACY’S DAD: HELLO! I prefer a french maid but a naughty nurse will do nicely! NURSE: Time for your colonoscopy Mr. Tracy. TRACY’S DAD: AIIIEEEEE! SOMEONE WAKE ME! PLEASE!

I didn’t think the old G.O.A.T had it in him!

With all the piling on of archaic detail, there’s only one explanation : Flintheart is passed out & dreaming all this while Kandikane is is loud, messy, labor.

Been a long time since nurses dressed like that(maybe a a slutty Nurse on Halloween!!!)…

Egad! Kandikane has finally delivered! What a prolonged labor this has been for Mike Curtis, as well as for Ms. Lane-Flintheart (I presume that somewhere along the way they got married).

And how unexpected at this point! No B-B Eyes foreshadowing, no Joe-Bonnie romance, not a word about Reggie (a.k.a. Ronnie) Tar, but instead the birth of Vitamin’s late-life child!

It is, withal, a joyous event! Smile, Dad!

If the hospital closes down does that mean the city is hopeless?

there was a “girlie” magazine in the 60’s titled topper

there was a girlie magazine in the 50’s and 60’s titled topper

Is this Flintheart’s first child?

“EGAD! The baby’s huge! And already talking!”

“Have you been checked for dementia recently?”
