Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for July 14, 2011

Okay, so we’ve established that Honeymoon’s parents left her alone in the house with stolen goods, and they don’t have any sort of home security system, and Honeymoon is following in the tradition of not using the wrist gizmo.

Good morning everyone…

This is exactly why you never tell your kids the “STUPID” stuff you did, when you were young..SALUTATIONS EVERYONE!

See, this is the part of the daily format I don’t like… waiting for the next day or so to see what Dick & Co. got planned. Oh, but Honeymoon’s due for a serious scolding (can’t paddle kids these days.. can you?)

And good morning to you, VistaBill.

Notice upper left hand corner of the first panel … it’s a picture of her Mother,Moon Maid! :)

Nice touch Joe and Mike!

At one time, I would list the names, but I’m getting old and lazy.

Very nice touch showing the pix of Moon Maid in the first panel. At least you guys aren’t afraid of showing that she really was a part of the strip at one time! Great Job!

I think her reasoning is if she uses it, Pop Pop would tell her to stay put, and then she wouldn’t get to “help the way dad used to.” In other words, she’s being reckless and thinking like a 12-year-old. Which she is.

She’s her father’s daughter all right….

Aaron

Does she have on her wrist geenie? Or, is that a bracelet?

You can’t paddle kids, but you could take away their Wrist Genies, Ipods, Cellphones, texting, internet, cable, for an entire month (which, to them, is WORSE than a paddling!)

I hope the smell of wet nail polish doesn’t give her away….

There’s more detail in ONE of Joe’s panels than there EVER was in a week’s worth of Locher’s. This is heaven reading this strip now!

About the zoom again. Why does it work Monday to Saturday but not on Sunday. Is it a catholic or christian Zoom that does not work on God day?

Yeah, I spotted Moon Maids’ Picture too, and I believe she is wearing Tracys’ yellow Fedora which, at the time this was taken, EveryOne on Tracys’ squad was wearing one.I think she was an Unofficial member because she helped out on a raid by blowing open doors with Lazer beams shot from her fingertips. ….. Does anyone remember the Honor roll for Tracys’ HATS? Everytime a gangster shot at Tracy and shot-up his Hat it was retired to a Hatrack with his other Hats “Injured in the Line of Duty” along with a plaque w/ Date,Who and How it happened.

Isn’t this the first time that Moon Maid has been shown in the strip since Max Allen Collins killed her off? (grrrrrrr) I am thrilled that Curtis and Staton have touched on the whole “Moon” era stuff, the Space Coupe, Honey Moon, and now a pic of Moon Maid. Love it! I was enough happy that they mentioned that Diet Smith is Honey Moon’s God Father.

the is sloppy police work for tracy

why werent the dvds taken to police station and held there

why dont honeymoon call and alert her pop of dire situation

i miss moonmaid. but how can bring her back???

I logged on today and found that my password had been changed to a word I did not make. I had an email sent to me and was surprised that the password was something I did not recognize. I went to my account settings and changed it back but I have no idea how it got changed.

It’s hard to believe that 4 months have passed ( to the day ) since DT was returned to greatness.

THANKS MIKE & JOE !

Take care, Honeymoon! And, yeah, you wanted that Wrist Wizard so much; are you wearing it now?

It is nice to see Mom’s picture on your wall, too.

Yikes! That should have been gLamshot.

Well Honeymoon has fooled us allInto the back of the van she did crawlHidden there now by the boxesWe’ll have to wait to see if she outfoxesThe duo with those oddball namesAnd so to thwart them in their aimsBut I fear for the girl sneaking aboutSoon will be discovered by a loutHer situation will become quite precariousIn the clutches of these nogoodniks nefariousOh, what will be her fateWill she be used as bait?Or will she pay the priceAs they dispose of her in a trice?Silly girl playing copCausing trouble for her popAs punishment, do not gently chideBut tan her little hide.Thank you, VistaBill, Sisyphos, Wiseking, BillT, Det.DD and Nvash.

Wonder Warthog, I heard that one in the voice of Tom Lehrer!

I remember the hats. I also remember Tracy’s 357 short barrel magnum.

Moon Maid, Honey’s mother, used to be able to blastpeople using bolts from her antannae. Let’s hopeHoney has the same power. I know I mispelledanteannae. Nobody’s perfect!
