Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 11, 2011

Not good to walk around with numb lips, Gertie…

Is everybodys comment strip box tiny too?

Let me guess Junior’s next line:

“Bad flour? How was it bad?”

Or words to that effect.

Cool, we can reply directly to comments now.Also, we can no longer edit comments.Some good and some bad.

A lot bad, 60sFan. Yes, my comment box is small, too, plus I’m getting ads…

Am I the only one who has an avatar now?

I miss the tagging function!

I’m hopin’ there’s more updates to come. I’ll give ’em New, but Improved not so much…

Good morning all…

Well, isn’t this interesting… access the strip through “my comics page” (the thing that pops up when I first log into the gocomics site), and there are no comments. Access the strip through a bookmark (gocomics.com/dicktracy/) and the comments are there. I imagine they’ll get around to fixing this… eventually…

Meanwhile, you can expand the comment-entry box by dragging the lower right corner. At least I can in Safari and iCab. YMMV if you’re using IE…

Someone’s messin’ with the site. I normally stay logged in and last night they logged me out. At least clean livin’ and wholesome thinkin’ saved my avatar!

In addition to all of the above, what happened to the strip’s byline? Dick Tracy by ??? Has the Blank taken over GoComics? Give Joe and Mike their credits back, please!

Story is moving slowly…but I’m not complaining because IT’S SO D**M GOOD ! ! ! ! ! !

Anxiously awaiting that DT profile ( with the short arm ) !

Don’t care for L’il Plentys’ name though. Attitude ? !

Wow! Go comics is changed!

I have never yet been able to make a comment that posted. Can I now? I can’t stand the music I am being forced to listen to. Still anxiously awaiting the opportunity to add an avatar.Oh yeah, loving my Dick Tracy again…..

Junior just missed the delivery. The site is not improved. Maybe they’ll get the kinks out eventually.

This new forum I do not like I think it should take a hike Only by the backdoor could I get in These changes are to me a sin Now if you want a real morning wakey bakey Just use some of that special flour from Flakey It’s got getup and go and will give you lots of zest To someone who digs quiet, you’ll soon be a pest But be careful Gertie, as likely as not The new stuff probably contains ergot So to get all your chores done in under an hour Get a snootfull of that special Flakey flour.Thank you, Det.DanDone.

Well, they wanted to give ya’ll something to complain about!

Something I’ve noticed: Do any of you read other adventure/drama strips ? Compared to the rest, DT is the most compelling, evenly paced, and entertaining of the bunch.

Even if you missed a day, you can pick right up and enjoy the strip…something I don’t think can be done with other strips ( ie. REX MORGAN, THE PHANTOM, MANDRAKE, etc. ).

My 2 cents.

BTW, where’s Mikes’ byline ?

I am very confused. I had trouble getting in this morning from my desktop, and when I did the comments were gone. Now with my laptop it rejects my bookmarked login as nonexistent, but I can see comments. At least, I still have my avatar. So I’m way ahead of a lot of you poor souls.

I can delete, but can’t edit, which I do with almost every comment I make. This is a classic example of fixing something that ain’t broke. Some web site expert had too much free time, methinks.

Yesterday I couldn’t log on. I can’t say this was worth the wait. At least I have an avatar. I don’t dare try to change it. Another good one wndrwrthg

Some how they lost approximately 15,000 subscribers somewhere according to the counter. Last I looked it was over 24,000. Today it’s at a little over 9,000.Explains why we seem to be missing some regular posters today.Mobile site is screwed up also you can only get the home page. If you try to see any of the comics it redirects you to the homepage.

Nice one wndrwrthg

Seems you’re a new poster here 60sFan ! Welcome !

Yes ! — I know only too well about oldsters looking young. I was one of them ! It was a bit of a curse back then, when you wanted to look more mature ;-)

But in Junior’s case (look at at him in panel 1 - today), you’d think he could improve his ADOLESCENT appearance, by simply having a more mature hair cut. Serious Dad’s shouldn’t be looking and acting like ‘Billy the Kid’.

Right ?

And yes, in the comics - “ANYTHING” can happen, but I thought we left those contradictions BEHIND with Locher holding the phone in his last panel (?)

Not with someone in the class of a Joe Staton. !

So I’m not the only one with trouble with this site. Maybe Dick Tracy and Sam can get to the bottom of what happened here after they’re finished with the Flakey Bakey caper. Sure, somebody oughta be arrested for this.
