Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for July 11, 2022

looks like they’re dancing at a Lunarian disco… and MRS. AMBASSADOR!… it IS good to see her and how WILL she react to Mysta?…

Good morning™, everybody!

Finally, the long awaited grandmother-granddaughter reunion! It seems to have gone well. As for Mysta, I don’t think she needs to worry much. Grandmother will feel sympathetic just by the look of Mysta, I think.

Wow, how suspenseful! Will the Govassador catch or drop the ball???

Everything else in this story has thus far been a real snorefest!!

Hopefully the story picks up some momen,,,,ZZZZZzzzzz,,,

I think that the outfit of the guy with the helmet looks a bit familiar from the 1960s, but women’s fashions have changed, which makes sense.

“I wonder what she’ll think of me?”

She’ll think you’re a laboratory creation which you are.

Is that pinky from yesterday wearing red today?

Good morning™, exuberant greeters !

Moon mama is just bursting with happiness. I hope there is not a mess when she finally explodes from all the ooshy gooshy goodness that she is wallowing in as she reunites with Granddaughter Honeymoon and with any luck will extend that vibe to our old friend, Mysta.

“Mysta? But weren’t you dead?”“She was. It’s a long story ma’am…”

They have a car in NMV? I thought moon people there just walk :)

Kind of nice to see a happy strip today!

A moon lady who looks like Betty Rubble. Who’d have thought?

Is that the Moon Flash in the background ?

“You little snip. Get thee to a nunnery!”

Welllll, THAT went well…

Sweet.

A fish and penguin diet sure keeps all Lunarians looking good!

What is all this fluff leading up to?

Meanwhile, Tracy’s been left way behind, thinking, Uh, hi! I’m a big shot detective from Earth and a return tourist! Hello?

I wonder what she’ll think of me? You mean after they get past “Wannabe?”

1-MYSTA REE: I don’t like this place. I’m not considered to be super-hot here like I am back home.

GOVADOR: Yeah, yeah. “Sieg Heil” back at ya. Whatever…

2-HONEY MOONS: DAG MYSTA, you’re right. Even Granny is hotter n you!

3-MYSTA: Hang on…I get it. Super-hot is the norm here so it’s double-ugly types like Honey who are revered! Well, when I’m finished, Honey will be the standard for “ugly” – like she is and should be. BWAA HA HAAAA!

So nice to see Moon Maid’s mother, I believe she has only appeared once before. THANK YOU Team Tracy.

Is Mysta paraphrasing Jack Nicholson from the first Miceal Keaton Batman movie>

The Moon Era is one of MY favorites, I thank Mike for this story. And Shelley’s art is excellent. My big question: WHO is gonna be the VILLAIN in this story? Speculation, anyone?

To quote Alvin The Chipmunk—-OOOOO….KAYYYYYYY!!

Grandma Moon is the character I want to see the most,maybe we can finally give her a name and turn her into something besides a “stick figure”.

Mysta looking great in 1st panel—17 proposals already.

I used to date a girl named Dela Ware. She had a very Long Neck. Her back was bad so she couldn’t bend Dover very easily. Her house on Dewey Beach had an Ocean View. Her sister Frederica liked to smoke Newport cigarettes.

Fun With Delaware Town Names! Tune in tomorrow when we have fun with visit Maine! (What can I possible do with “Bangor”???)

Lunarian fashion seems pretty colorful so far! I like it!

Hmm: Granny’s still a babe!…………

DISCOVERY—ABC educational program that ran from 1962 to 1971

“Company mascot” was a bloodhound named Corpuscle

Well, now I know what happened to those “sea monkeys” I used to see advertised in comic books.

Yup, Grandma’s (still) a hottie. What will she think of Mysta Chimera? Most likely, something positive; Granny isn’t the Negative Nanny sort.

So far, the best (only?) candidate for a villain seems to be Ro-Zan, but I’m not sure how seriously he is to be taken….

Didn’t think of it at first glance but Ro-Zan’s tunic looks a bit like a red version of Mike Allred’s Madman. All he needs to do to complete the look is to drop a splotch of giant escargot gravy just below the lightning bolt!

Sea Monkeys from my ancient comic books come to mind for some reason.

She probably has not seen her granddaughter since pre Y2K.

So…..yeah, Walmart decided to fire me today…I was discounting plants and Christmas lights and buying them after they were marked for clearance….but nobody bothered to tell me that associates were not allowed to buy discounted items for 24 hours
