Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for August 30, 2012

am I first?

DT is looken pale.

Phishface killed Aquaman??? Admittedly hard to do.

Yipes! Arthur Curry in a scaly shirt? Phishface didn’t do him in – it was the lawyers from DC Comics (copyright division)!Seriously, I have to wonder what he might have had on his computers that Phishface wanted destroyed. Could he have been an unwitting accomplice?

Good morning all…

I have to say I like Lizz’s blouse better on GoComics than on Comics Kingdom! GAH! MY EYES!Neither colorist made Arthur Curry’s shirt orange though. (sigh)

Sam is smokin’, Tracy drinkin’ from the MCU mug, Liz lookin’ good, and another visitor coming up. Normality for a day but it must the the calm before the storm..

Top Ten

Perhaps Arthur Curry started getting bills for DVDs he didn’t order and was tracking the source.

Number 12 today. I’ll crack that Top Ten yet!!!! Notice that although green in color, Arthur’s shirt closely resembles Aquaman’s traditional top…have we seen any Sea Horses at the Aquarium?

Just in case anyone missed the Aquaman allusion, Joe made it a bit more apparent. Too funny.

FOURTEEN!!! love the pic of arthur on the screen.. green scaled shirt is just enough to differentiate him from the orange scaled shirt of aquaman lol

I see Themesong’s history is being re-written; she previously appeared in 1987 as a radio DJ during the Flipside case. Sam and Lizz both saved her life from Flipside’s henchmen, so yes, Lizz should know her, too.

im going out on a limb here and saying that lizz wasnt around when themesong made her first appearance in tracyville huh? maybe its LIZZ that “brings the case home” instead of honeymoon.. maybe SHES the one who ordered (or rather, DIDNT order) all those themesong cd’s… she IS looking rather “fan-girlish” in that last panel ;) lol

i see tracy is still sporting his sling. in truth, he DID take a worse shot than anyone else in the mr crime raid, but wouldnt lizz still be hurting a little bit too? kadaver skewered her like a shishkabob in the opening moments of the fight and she was even hospitalized for a while too. unless of course “IT’S MERELY A FLESH WOUND!”

I don’t get it . Tracy was harm in the line of duty . He is still recovering and he still has to go to work ? What kind of police do they have in that city ???

Just looking at the second panel here. This must be just about the only strip where anyone still smokes. Not only that but in the workplace as well.

Not only looks like Aquaman, has his alter ego name.

night gaunt how many times do you have to be told this? mikatt1 IS the first comment on the page regardless of your “imaginary rules”

Themesong in the original DT was a little girl back in 1946 who sang on the street for dough. Her father was a conman known as Roach. After his demisenshe was “adopted” by radio DJ Christmas Early. She reappeared all grown up again in 1987. Nice to see brought back by the present team.

I bet all those who bicker on bein first or in the top ten commnts are tweens..if not teens.

I know one can’t copyright characters, but did you have to touch base with anyone to get the Arthur Curry (Aquaman) included? Also, any progress on that 5-6 week story cap?

By the way Tarry,I would never thought of you as a Joan RangerI don’t watch much TV so it took me awhile to figure out the reference. a Joan Ranger is the name of a Joan Rivers fan on the TV series Fashion Police.I don’t know if I would call myself a Joan Ranger, but I do think that I wouldn’t want to be caught dead in that outfit. In Lizz’s line of work that is entirely possible. We will all hope fervently that Mike never decides to kill her off because of her terrible fashion sense. The colorist on the other hand… (grin)

Dick has known Themesong for a loooong time. I wonder if she ever got her camera back?
