Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for June 20, 2024

the look on Cherry’s face indicates that they’ve scored some choice dirt to use…

won’t Gabe be thrilled…

Good morning™ everybody!

The boss likes it very much! From Wiipedia: O tempora, o mores is a Latin phrase that translates literally as “Oh the times! Oh the customs!”, first recorded to have been spoken by Cicero. A more natural, yet still quite literal, translation is “Oh what times! Oh what customs!”; a common idiomatic rendering in English is “Shame on this age and on its lost principles!”, originated by the classicist Charles Duke Yonge.

Happy Solstice gossip seekers!

As the chef said, “O tempura! O morels!”

Good morning™, Masterful Discoveries !

We got some juicy dirt NOW !  :-D

P.2. A real life expression I don’t believe I have seen in a comic before. Great capture, “Carlos”. :-)

All I’ve got to say is;

“Oy Vey!”

This story is more sleep inducing than a Firestrike SBD!

The Comics Curmudgeon is right. This story really isn’t very interesting.

A week of people staring and shuffling papers, I’m on the edge of my seat!

And in this installment: literally nothing. It’s purely suspense-building, no actual information given to the reader about anything, unless you count, “Someone is excited about something.”

O tempora! O bores!

A bit of advice to the authors of this feature, coming from a place of support and encouragement: Go read a month’s worth of old Milt Caniff strips and get some pointers on holding a plot thread through six days, three or four panels at a time. I honestly never really know what’s going on in these strips from one day to the next.

Clearly meant ‘Oh! Smores,’ given his bulk.

Somehow I think the mores he’s looking at aren’t specific to any particular tempora.

What is this story about?

O Tempur-pedic. O morass.

Cherry chomping on that bottom lip – well done over all, Carlos!

Refused dialogue “Wow, I haven’t seen (Insert page #) in the Kama Sutra in action before!”

Looks like a really juicy gossip.

MOVIE QUOTE—

“If you asked a sailor how fast his ship was going, he wouldn’t say “miles” to you. He’d say “knots” to you.

Well,Nuts To Him,.too,if that’s the way he feels!"

All the angelic names. Cherry Bimm, Sara Phym, Gabriel Praviul, and now Eline van Duivel = Light of (or from) the Devil. Did I miss anyone? Who’s next? Lucy Morningstar?
