Mornin’ all!I think it’s about Bardoll’s conncection to other bad guys (the Apparatus, maybe?), who used Dr. Sail to get the smarter-than-he-looked Bardoll inside Smith Industries for the Space Coupe theft.
Why a man being panicked by a woman’s attention is funny, but a woman disturbed by a man’s unwanted attentions is not? Unwanted attentions that border on stalking aren’t funny, whatever the sex and sexual orientation of the persons involved. Why Sam isn’t saying “i’m not her sweet babboo?” Or better, day to Fritz-ann. i’m not interested in you, get over it!
It’s Staton and Curtis’ Chicago. I just live here.A few weeks ago I was leaving the Chicago Theatre. I couldn’t help but gaze up at the rooftop of the building across the street and think, “That’s where Belle and the Black Piranha stood.” Walking home I spied one of those double-decker buses that run tours of the downtown area. Where there should have been a giant message instructing me to “Play Jumble in the Daily!” there was only a giant baby with a bullhorn and a head shaped like a football. I later learned it was Stewie from Family Guy. It shudda been Jumbler and his little dog, Crypto.Walking past the Hilton Hotel I recalled that this was where I laughed out loud while walking home from work last year. I was thinking about the Moon Maid sightings in Dick Tracy. I was delighted with the strip and amused at the unexpected pleasure of once again being a dedicated Dick Tracy fan, as I was in the 60s and early 70s.I walked on, coming to the Shedd Aquarium. I chuckled to think of poor Sam trapped in the dive suit. No doubt, Fishface has some time to serve. I’ll bet there is no sushi on the menu at the penitentiary. Walking on, I came at last to my destination: The Adler Planetarium. The current presentation is entitled, Cosmic Wonder. I was certain that the topic had to be Mysta, so I bought a ticket and rushed inside. Alas, there was no mention of Moon Maid. What were they thinking? Still, the show was rather spectacular, despite the unfathomable absence of Mysta:“Throughout time, humans have connected with the cosmos in an ongoing cycle of wonder, observation, and discovery. In Cosmic Wonder, visitors are invited to look up! The night sky reveals the mysteries of our Universe in the most immersive space environment ever created. As we observe and form an understanding of our cosmos, leading-edge technology allows audiences to experience the night sky like never before, bringing the Universe to you.” Very impressive!Upon leaving the Planetarium I thought I’d look for that Pub where Joe is the bartender. I would have gone looking for The Apollo, but why bother? Mysta is in Dairyland now…
When I was working at a printing company, we were producing a newsletter for a local library. The final go-ahead had been given and the press was running before someone noticed that the headline said “Pubic Library” instead of “Public Library”. Needless to say, we had to stop and re-plate that one, and dump what had been printed!
Typos will get by even the most careful proofer at times. The mind “sees” what is supposed to be there, rather than what is actually there.
Recently bought a Dick Tracy, The Better Little Book, 1939 by Chester Gould. Was surprised to see the he was a G-man and not a city detective. When did the change happen?
…….quite a lull in comments thus far today; mirrors the pace of the strip lately….have a feeling both will really jump up by the time the weekends over, though!
as for the suggestion we should all be appalled at the “reverse sexual harrassment”…….I live in the real world, where it’s very rare to see women do that, and when they do, they’re almost always after a “pretty boy” type. You don’t see a cute woman pursuing an average (at best) guy….well, at least not unless he’s rich, lol. BUT…..what is very unappealing to me is that Sam is MARRIED, and Fritz Ann seems to be totally disrespecting that. Bet she wouldn’t like it one bit were played on her in reverse if SHE were Sam’s wife instead…
From last evening, (partially) quoting from a post by Ken in Ohio:“ I have also said that reading a strip a day at a time poses continuity issues that must be ignored in order to sit back and enjoy the story. For example, it used to a lot of fun watching Chester Gould try to keep up with the season changes. So, for example, there might be a month’s worth of strips depicting action that took place over two day’s time, and then there would be a season change. Remember when Tracy chased the Chameleon on a snow mobile in a raging blizzard, and at the same time the other officers arrested Pouch? There is a Sunday strip which shows Pouch being released for lack of evidence, into a beautiful spring day with not a flake of snow left on the streets. It’s part of the charm of reading a comic strip like Dick Tracy. Give the writers some slack.” Well said, Ken in Ohio!I loved Chester Gould’s work & always will. I always pictured pictured him at his drawing board, looking outside at the current weather conditions & using them as his guidelines.

An interlude. A chuckle at Sam’s expense; a hint of a hint for Tracy. And somehow, at some angle, the feds are on the case….

@stagger lee. Thanks for the info! I knew that I could get an answer from the DT fans. Going to have to look for more of those DT Whitman books.
