Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for December 23, 2017

Good Saturday morning!™ It’s the first Saturday of winter, here in the Northern Hemisphere.

Where to next, I wonder?

How clean is that windshield? Is there anyone in the car who can notice the “ugly” family resemblance from across the way?

Well it is snowing and frosty, guys!!!

“I’m sure you’re pretty in your own way”. A bit weak but I guess it was the best she could do.

This is the end if my inking chores, guys. Thanks for the positive feedback. I enjoyed working on this tremendously!

Ugly Crystal wishes Honeymoon “Happy holidays”. What holidays do Lunarians celebrate at this time of year? Do they make a big deal about the tilt of the earth’s axis?

At least Honeymoon got away without letting Crystal touch her horns. She seemed reluctant to allow it and probably with good reason.

This is a really interesting story arc to me. Wonder how much information “accidentally” gets passed to the other sides?

Her horns recharge by sunlight. So where is that sunlight?

Another week of entertaining strips. Good job.

4 inches of snow here in Pendleton, NY.

I see the girls’ encounters as innocent and that if push comes to shove, Honeymoon will have an ally above and beyond familial links.

So far, so good between Honeymoon and Crystal. If the latter can get over her indoctrinated inferiority complex (most people call her Ugly Crystal), she could become a valued citizen of Tracyville. But her wicked uncle, Mr. Bribery, will always want her on his side, the Dark Side, and can wield consider influence on his young niece. Perhaps her moral struggles will be a significant factor as this arc continues to unfold (but I expect a few days of essentially just “feel good” filler until the holidays are past)….

Well, her mom ended up pretty top-heavy, shall we say, so eventually she might have that going for her.
