Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for July 02, 2018

Two Panels On Weekdays Is The New Standard. ✨

Good morning™, moon people!

Now Crystal can add “Moon Lady” to her friend list that includes [only?] “Moon Chick,” as she usually calls Honeymoon.

I’m assuming that the Space Coupe that Crystal has spotted is only a full-sized mockup of one, because the last real one was sent into deep space and I think that might have been the same one that Honeymoon was born on. The one that was sent away was the Sparkle Plenty.

meanwhile, Sawtooth has been quietly arrested, end of story….

It would be a surprise if the FBI quietly arrests him. And a let down unless he hopes to see Tracy and bursts his restraints to kill him.

Wait till Bribery hears about the space coupe.

Really enjoying the art today, well done!

Isn’t Crystal showing the “Kirby point” in the second panel?As a kid, my brothers & I would notice the extended (and unnecessary) thumb used to simply point at an object that Jack Kirby would constantly use in his comic work.It just jumped out at me today.

Two things here that I love …

(1) Moon Maid… well, there you go… and (2) Honey’s expression in Panel 2 that seems to say “well, this just got a bit awkward.”

Crystal seems to have reverted back to her former less-feminine appearance.

Crystal shouldn’t refer to herself as “ugly.”

Look… if you want to overlook the blatantly obvious that Crystal is up to something, then fine…. but the way I see it is that Crystal is using Honeymoon, and shes been using her since at LEAST Christmas when she pointed out to Bribery that she met Moon Maid’s daughter.

The expression on his face that day was too much to simply overlook and think that he just “let it slide”.

No, I believe that Bribery “gave Crystal her marching orders” right then and there, telling her to cozy up to Honeymoon and “give him an inside angle” which would explain the peculiar grin Crystal had on her face when Honey “fell for it hook line and sinker” when she ‘rescued her’ in the snow.

Honeymoon is the connection to Moon Valley and the presumed gold there (remember, bribery is unaware that there is no more gold)

Awful conveinent how theres an actual Space Coupe (whatever size it may be) in a display thats “not open to the public yet” which means, minimal security at best. Space Coupes + Moon Bound Road Trip = Moon Gold.. this has been a set up since the beginning and Honey is just eating it up

Oh yeah, one other thing… how does Crystal know Honey was born in a Space Coupe?

As the Stomach turns

Just wait until Crystal meets the Moon Governor…

I almost didn’t see this because it’s behind Joe and Mike’s signature box. Honeymoon is wearing a Moon shirt (or vest?). There was some question about this yesterday (the Sunday strip).

A little thing I know, but I notice Mysta seems to be wearing Notta’s costume today. The difference being that Notta’s outfit flairs up at the hips, while Mysta’s usual outfit does not have the flairs, though she has them today. Not a complaint, just something I noticed.

Vernissage for Crystal (she should stop calling herself Ugly!) and Honeymoon. Mysta Chimera herself as guide! Super-duper!
