I hope Brandon survives. But if he doesn’t, then I hope Tracy exacts white-hot vengeance! (Yeah, I know, he’s a cop and a professional; just expressing my feeling.)
Didn’t the last arc take place in a flower shop? Good that the guys can make a flower shop and a lawn mower shop exciting. Can’t wait till they get to an auto junkyard or an abandoned warehouse or a circus. If you think it’s exciting now…ummm never mind about the circus.
Drat! I was hoping we’d know Chief Brandon’s fate today. Maybe tomorrow. I’m still hoping that Frost was firing some warning shots of some kind. The one that we saw seemed to hit to Brandon’s left. It’d suck if Big Frost first caused Brandon to lose his job 60 years ago and then took his life. Geez!
Interesting trivia: Big Frost was supposedly modeled after Chief Joseph Patterson, the head of the syndicate who gave the strip the go ahead. Tracy named his son after Patterson.
Happy “belated” Birthday, Tarry! Better “late” than the alternative! Thanks so much for your input to the strip. Like WW, I look forward to your posts. And like everyone else, I hope he was just winged.
On a related subject, I am utterly amazed (and thankful) that Mike and Joe have the insight to go back and tie the current stories into Gouldian stories and characters. What they have done is intrigued the casual reader into going back and doing their history. This will get the readership and interest back up to respectable numbers. Then, we’ll see a re-opening in Woodstock and bronze statues out front! I can see it now: Tracy in the center, Mike & Joe on each side, WonderWarthog, BassmanBob……….
Some posters seem to have their panties in a twist over my posts yesterday about the importance of the American comic strip … so I deleted them from all but yesterday’s Dick Tracy. -I was just trying to encourage readers to accept comics as a serious art form. My efforts were prompted by posters last week who dismissed Alley Oop as “only a comic strip that’s not expected to make sense” … that is such a sad comment … and very depressing. ___
Once again I have a deadline looming large so I will not be posting here for awhile. If health and work allow I hope to attend the 2011 Classic Comic Book and Nostalgia Convention in Oklahoma City on November 12 – 13. If you’re in the area please drop by.
Happy Belated Birthday, Tarry. Thanks for the background on this story. I only “waste” time on GoComics while at my work computer,taking the weekend off to enjoy my strips in print. Used to read them in order, but now read DT first.
I think I got more Happy B-Days, and Happy Belated B-Days on this forum than I did on my wall in Facebook. Now I am depressed. (sob)Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts and wishes.

You mean it was Chief Brandon’s place. Now his place will be the funeral home.

Well, Brandon will find out if the grass is really greener on the other side.
Happy Birthday Tarry. You are still a young pup.
Want to trade birthdays?

Kudos to Joe Staton for some wonderful art! I remember his earliest work at Charlton Comics about 40 years ago! -Donnie Pitchford / “Lum and Abner.”
