Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for July 24, 2009

I would definitely say shes a dead duck about now!!

Uh, not all that funny…. Has Bonnie gone ditsy?

Didn’t know Flightsuit could draw better than Brozman.

Well obviously Bonnie isn’t looking at the center ring, which is why she’s so nonchalant. But what IS she gazing so lovingly at?

Tracy isn’t looking either; he seems to be trying to sleep.

And the girl in panel 2 is awfully giddy too.

Has anything happened?

(BTW the duck only comes falling down if you say the Secret Woid)

flightsuit: You have those misshapen hands down perfectly.

I have read better stories with greater suspense in Nancy.

Ok, all of you who chose trapeze artist over Dumbo win. Tracy’s expression in the last panel gives the impression he can actually smell crime.

For someone who was just shot that girl seems awfully happy.

Comments by Grokenstein re: Special Ed and Morrow saying she is a retarded as her dad. are uncalled for. Lets keep the comment unoffensive. As the father a special needs child, I take exception to your remarks.

mrbribery said : “Well obviously Bonnie isn’t looking at the centre ring, which is why she is so nonchalant. But what IS she gazing so lovingly at ?”

Hard to tell mrbribery, but she does have her head tilted to one side the way you do. But were I to make a guess, I’d plunk down on the view that it’s at the rear end of a Yellow Rubber Duckie trotting of stage, for the last time. She’s as much as hinted at that.

It’s Dick ‘s gaze that puzzles me, I thought he was looking DOWN at his popcorn

Perhaps Locher has matured enough to laugh at himself for pinching panel space over all these years.

Perhaps, we can at last think - “Long live the Dick the Duck is dead”!

flightsuit I enjoyed the lawyer’s logbook. Some very good advice

AndyH40, BOUNCING ! I’m not the besr person to ask. I’m relatively computer dumb on these things. It happened to me some years ago and my recollection was I somehow got a message to the board and recall some short form coming up which was completed and they fixed it.

Alternative, contact Beau !

flightsuit: enjoyed your parody…are you going to draw more?

I wonder if DT daughter has a love interest. I smell a crime scene coming.

Loving the parody, flightsuit. The proportions and pose are rendered lovingly in classic Lochbroz style! And nice villain design on the One-Eyed Monster - not many pants are fitted for digitigrade legs.

Yesterday, Ringo’s hair appeared to be in a ponytail, and today it looks to be free-flowing….but his mustache just plain ol’ ROCKS!!!!

I’m still wondering what happened to Joe Tracy (Dick’s son, who was still a kid last time I read this strip).

I’m starting to lose hope the quality is going to improve with Brozman in the picture. I wonder why TMS is letting this strip go like this.

Please don’t make fun of my yellow stockings and laces.

Hope to see more episodes of Trick Spacey.

jumbobrain,

Do you think Joe (Cool Dude) went off playing with Dad’s Matrix pack ? Maybe he’s changed into a rubber duckie and is off swimming in the pool (?)

Lawbreaker’s Logbook rulez! :>

Grok, you’re cool. As you said in your followup message, your comment was simply a reference to Special Ed and was not at all making fun of it or putting it in a bad light.

Now if you were to start praising the writing of the drivel that passes for the once-proud Dick Tracy, I might take offense. ‘Til then, it’s all good.

Grokenstein, remember the Jay Leno show where President Obama Jokes About Being a Bad Bowler: ‘It’s Like the Special Olympics’* Well, Obama was big enough to say publicly that his comments were wrong.
