Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 25, 2024

Somebody put out this “stench boy” in the trash bin.

pretty strange thing for a Loony Moony to say… “drat my luck”?

“Cracked Magazine! Cheap ripoff of Mad!”

Good morning™, Finders Keepers !

A major find has been made. And he’s comin’ for YOU !  It might be neat that if there is gun play Rozo gets hit.

Good morning™, all!

Whatever he’s seeing is not what he was expecting, but I wonder what it is. I suspect that Smith doesn’t even have a plan to “reboot the Space Coupe program.” Actually, they may have suspected that he’d be snooping in the files and planted something in that folder for him to find.

The story is dragging more than Gweedo on date night!

Why is Rolaids thinking “The governor”, and not, “my brother?”

I think the author wanted to Make sure that late arrivals know that the other guy is the gov and that now they will eventually learn that they are brothers.

Are they happy sparks, or sparks of excitement? Either way it seems like an eureka moment for him!

Enjoy a brand new VengyTale;

“Tried and True!”

In your search bar type in;

“It’s the Naked Ray Gun! From the files of …. Lunar Police Squad!”

Did he find the missing XXX-Files on Mysta ?

In the pre-Y2K days, he would be considered an industrial spy.

I wonder what that crime boss Ro-Zan is working with wanted from Smith’s files?

Don’t forget that a few years ago, Smith told Tracy there were things he wouldn’t give out because the tech would be stolen for criminal use.

“It’s the script for the next eight weeks! What th—? I’m just leaving this room at week six?”

Right here in front! In the “Top Secret, do not share” file!

I love that middle panel and the coloring . It has kind of a 1950’s horror comic look to it .

“GASP! Naughty pics of Barney the Purple Dinosaur running amok at the Cheesecake Factory! At LAST! The key to making their pathetic human civilization CRUMBLE at my feet.. Wha-hahahahahahahaa!”

“Golly GEE! Jeepers! With these algebra test questions, maybe I’ll at LEAST get a C+!! An’ then, maybe Mary Jean Lou Smithers, that cute girl in home room’ll go out with me for a malted! M-maybe she’ll even PAY! Hooboy! Hubbba-hubba!”"

“My Terran friends” Hmmm. Ro seems rather simple (read stupid ) for someone who would be an arch criminal and is doing his best to betray his own planet…

Paper files? Must be archives they haven’t gotten around to digitizing.

MOVIE QUOTE—

“Last Friday, we dealt with the small group of moronic criminals”

Criminology lecturer James Mason—-THE UPTURNED GLASS—1947

Terrific art today…a creepy look to it…and a man who wouldn’t be happy if an honest person walked into the room. Stooping to common burglary. How the would-be conquerers have fallen.

1- ROWYER-BOAT: Who needs a flashlight when they got luminescent horns?!?

2-: …Oh. Wait. I do. Stupid horns must be out of batteries…

3-: HELLO…WHAT THE…? PLANS FOR THE REMOVAL OF ALL LOONARIANS’ HORNS! …CHOP HERE!?!? … Assimilate into human culture… PART 2: BURN OUT TASTE BUDS AND OR BRAIN-AREA RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR LOVE OF SNAIL FLAVOR!!! N000000 !!!

From today’s Comics Curmudgeon:

If you were a mysterious alien being with innate biological powers, a command of advanced technologies, and a vague plan to conquer humanity, how would you think your Wednesday would go? Probably you wouldn’t guess that you’d be spending it going through some file cabinets, right? But that’s just how it happens sometimes. Into everyone’s life, a little file cabinet searching must fall, even into the lives of aliens from the Moon.
