Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 16, 2024

Now up on reality, Smith is “dietetically” tuned in.

Good morning™, Renegade Rioters !

Time to saddle up your ship, guys, and get after that krazy “uncle”. Diet looks like he half doesn’t believe the holo image or maybe he had “a little to smoke”…

Cock-A-Doodle-Doo !

One guy is causing that amount of social chaos? What’s he doing – running for President?

If rumors repeated by political candidates about segments of the immigrant population can drive idiots to commit arson on schools, and, city buildings…

“THEY’VE SEIZED THE LOCAL DUNCAN DONUTS SHOPS! CHAOS RULES! WHOLESALE JAYWALKING! RUBBING DOGS’ FUR THE WRONG WAY! IT’S THE ENNNNND!!!!”

I fear that dreadful reporter Ms Wendy Winchel and Mayor Armstrong characters will soon make an appearance and give Tracy and the MCU grief via Chief Patton about the Lunarians – that is “What are you doing about them”. Winchel will make a sensational “splash” headline in the newsprint, radio & TV based on nothing of substance.

1- FOUNTAIN SPEAKER SYSTEM: ♪♪♫ SPLISH SPLASH I WAS TAKIN’ A BATH… SPLISH SPLASH I WAS TAKIN’ A BATH… SPLISH SPLASH I WAS TAKIN’ A BATH…♪♪♫

2- DOIT: OH MY ACHIN’ HEAD! Do something about it,Tracy! What do you think I got you on the secret payroll for??? DT: I thought so’s I could bury any investigations on you and Smith Industries but ok…

3-: PUNCH!!! DOIT: WHOA! AND OUCH! That took my mind off my headache! But now my jaw hurts. DT: You’re welcome. Hey. That punch turned on my Wrist Thingee. Looks like your Space Coupe is attacking the city!

DOIT: IMPOSSIBLE! It’s gone rogue! I programmed that to happen at midnight! DT: Let’s get me to the Safe Room, shall we? DOIT: Umm…of course. Hey! Look over there! DT: What? What is it? Hey…where’d he go?

Tracy Baffles Science Dept: A complete lunar cycle is approximately 29 days, but this one is on day 22 and still in waxing crescent. Might as well settle in, gents….

It seems Diet suspected something from the moment Rosie told him that he was delivering the space coupe his brother owed him and the blanks have been getting filled in for him since then.

It’s interesting how violence is often used to indirectly force political change. I wonder why Rosie wants to go that direction, though. Why not just start vaporizing capitol buildings and heads of state, then move on to conquer the panic that ensues? That’s a more direct way of handling it. This way takes longer, requires human allies, and risks inciting the good Lunarians to side with the humans against him.

I speculate that he escaped and is out mostly on his own, with maybe a few comrades with him among the Lunarians, and needs to go more indirect while he slinks around in hiding trying to build up some kind of forces. So he may not have the capacity for a direct assault yet. Though if this were the case, it wouldn’t serve him well to make the humans turn on him from the get-go. Usually, if you lack real power you want to ingratiate yourself to the very people you want to eventually conquer until you have the real power to subjugate them.

Release your frustration at GoComics for posting today’s strip late, AGAIN, by enjoying a brand new VengyTale;

“Home sweet home!”

Warrior / patriot Trump requests quiet>>causing libtard meltdowns is great fun but can be exhausting at times!! Trump to TDS crowd: “How’s Owen??” TDS victims: “Owen who??” Trump: “Owen TWO!!!!”

well, it looks like yet ANOTHER day of a late installment… how many hours was it THIS time?…

yet ANOTHER glowing example of the frequent glitchery that plagues this place at times…

Such a mammalucco.

The invasion has begun.

Diet, nothing is impossible, they even have an impossible burger now!

Good afternoon™, all!

Does anyone know what time the new strip actually appeared? It looks like somewhere around 7 a.m. CDT.

Diet is being a good host, despite the fact Ro-Zan thinks he’s playing the inventor.

We’re apparently in Diet Smith’s private mansion rather than at the f actory.

Anybody go back to 1946 and copy what the house looked like then?
