Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 25, 2020

Good morning™, Edison fans!

She’s baaaaack! … and very happy to see Shaky.

Reunited and it feels so good . . .

…..have a feeling dinner is going to be put on the back burner for awhile first….

Good morning™, happy reunion fans !

They’re gonna pull off whatever it is this time, I just know it !

Another fine gem from the BMBG vault.

Let’s celebrate a happy welcome back !

Intro is 35 seconds long.

I think this might be one of those times when a cigar is not just a cigar…

What did I say before? Hi Edison!

That is a real Odd Couple!

Honeylamb! Is she from the South?

He’s just the bestest in the land?

Shaky is smarter than I expected, while Edison should have put Tracyville in the rear view mirror. Innesmount is where she belongs, although she’s a sight for sore eyes.

Ms. Lighthouse seems to embrace the idea behind her namesake one hit wonder band’s song. (Even though Shaky v2, name isn’t Rosemary.)

Awwwwww… One of my favorite villains couple is back together ♡♡♡. And Edison looks more and more like a cool version of Daria Morgendorffer♡.

Someone is going to get lucky tonight

Hum? No Memorial Day remembrance strip?

Yknow… this story started (after Charlie’s minit mystery) on April 27th… and since then theres been ABSOLUTELY ZERO PROGRESSION WHATSOEVER…. we’re going on the first full month of this ridiculous offering, and we STILL have zero idea of A) where it’s going B) The motivation and C) any way of actually holding the reader’s attention

This is ridiculous and absurd… I honestly think Mike has lost his way on this strip as has been evident in the last several stories

Okay, so she’s got rotten taste in men – next panel, please…

Does she ever wear shoes? Is she related to Sprocket Nitrate?

She’s nuts.

1-WHATSERNAME: Life has been so peaceful since Jay left. And instead of running from hideout to hideout, I’ve got this nice apartment and a good job even though my resume for the last year reads only “Gun Moll”. Huh? Who could that be?

2-JAY BOGART: What’s shakin’ baby?

3-WHATSRNAME: YOU ARE JAY, YOU ARE!

I wonder if Tracy might have a tail on Shaky. Tracy does know Shaky had an accomplice and was looking foe her.

Still stinging from the “I’ll think of something” comment yesterday.

If by that, Shaky meant what you guys assumed, then Edison has a really, really, really bad taste in men!

Groovy, want to come pick her up before she gets in any more trouble?

Above, under tsull2121, Ray Toler made some interesting comments.

Timmy (2121) noted a total lack of progression in the story.

Ray noted that we seem to have devolved into “talking heads” – between some inappropriately timed Minute Mysteries.

My thought: The last two Minute Mysteries were so good that maybe they are saving the strip!

Honestly, if another Minute Mystery were to start next week, I would be more than pleasantly surprised!

I finally figured out what the girls see in him. He vibrates.

I know, I’m slow.

The comely and delectable Edison returns. I like this gal.

Edison! Where ya been honey?

Edison! Seeing you again has given my life new meaning! My heart is pounding!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! If we had the Commander in Chief reading off the names of those lost to “The Invisible Enemy” from the front page of The NY Times, THAT would be memorable. He will, of course, go golfing instead.

OK, political rant over.

How stupid of me to forget Sheriff and the two bands that evolved from them: Frozen Ghost and Alias.

Edison Lighthouse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqcDG_xLWPY

Although it is undeniably nice to see the comely and delectable Edison Lighthouse again, I cannot help but feel that her reunion with Shaky Mk.2 is going to lead both of them into trouble. Another showdown with Tracy may be in the offing for them.

As for Fortuna, her future fortune remains elusive….

Stompin’ Tom…

She should be fleeing him like COVID-19.
