Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for October 03, 2024

a possible look into the sarcophagus tomorrow?…

“Whatever it might be. No point in finding out. Who would be interested anyway?”

Good morning™, Departing Moonies !

And it’s about time !  Us native Terans wont miss you. (Leave the lady behind. ;-p)   Wonder what we would see if they were to open that box…..

“Garbage” day @ Police HQ.

Good morning™, all!

It’s good to see that Mr. Smith is using Mr. Bribery’s technology for good instead of evil. The Governor has a good point.

The sarcophagus is going back to the South Pole where it belongs. It’s not considered proper anymore to steal antiquities from their native countries.

I await with bated breath to see what the Gov will make of it. Knowing Ro-zan it was probably stolen from a Moon Valley Museum. Or their equivalent of a church.

“Funny how the face on the lid resembles Victor Buono.”

Is there a moon mummy contained within?!

Me never knews there be pyramids n mummies in south pole. Who that be rest peace inside the penguin pharaoh?

“I see a weapon has become a weapon.” Very insightful. No wonder he’s the leader.

Uh, yeah… what was the purpose of that “gift”?

Is this case already “Wrapped Up?”

Panel 1 and Diet’s face: heh heh heh…

At least a couple of us have wondered if it was a Chekov’s mummy case or a random mummy case. It appears Chekov may win, but there is still time for it to be a non sequitur.

what’s wrong with it… is what I’d like to say, but since Ro-zan delivered, it may be something bad in it. :j

1- DA-GUV: Are we walking arm-in-arm because you’re feeble or because you really like me? DOIT: That’s YOUR hand on your elbow there, dum-dum. DA-GUV: Oh. Yeah…

2- DA-GUV: HEY MISTER MYSTA! UNDER LOONY LAW, YOU COULD SPARE ROX-ANN A TRIP TO THE FIERY FALLS IF YOU MARRIED HIM! WHADAYA SAY? MISTER: Don’t forget your asbestos undies, Rox?

3- DOIT: Look! I took a pitcher of the Mummy Rox brought me so you can take the thing back to the secret place you all live which Tracy told me was the SOUTH POLE.

DA-GUV: TRACY!!! YOU BLABBER MOUTH! TRACY: Oops. It slipped out like a smooth-soled shoe on the icy floor of the underground cavern where you all live. DA-GUV: TRACY!!! TRACY: Oops. Good thing I got this vest on…

MOVIE QUOTE

“Are you with the police?”

“No,M’sieu,I am better than the Police”

David Suchet—AGATHA CHRISTIE:THE ABC MURDERS—1992

Moon Gov seems slightly unnerved that Diet invented something he didn’t think of yet.

Like Diet in Panel One—Part Santa Claus and part Old Man On The Mountain

“Hey,Roz-An,tomorrow’s my 93rd Anniversary!”

“Ask me if I give a &$%$$”

It is probably a BOMB with some Bio weapon inside that will Kill all the Humans so lunarians could conquer the earth.

I wouldn’t expect to see what’s inside the sarcophagus. I view it as nothing more than a macGuffin to drive the plot or worse a Red Herring.

MG sees a item that prevented Ro-Zan from commiting another murder as “…a weapon for you.” Am I wrong thinking MG is little better than his brother?

Diet,probably correctly, suspects ANY supposed gift from RoZan. Who knows what RoZan might planted in that sarcophagus.

And in case you’re wondering, Baby Face Nelson hated the name

“You know Tracy, this could have all been avoided if you had just let me execute him last time. How may times does he have to do stuff like this before he’s officially a war criminal?”
