Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for May 27, 2019

Yay! Annie’s coming into the 21st Century!!

I recall Annie upgraded her look in the Alan Kupperberg era of her strip.

Good morning™, fashionistas!

All dressed up in their new looks, the girls are off on a day out together. Tomorrow, it should be time to see what else is happening.

I’m expecting the story to switch to the main story tomorrow.

~ Good morning, mod squad !

The ladies are on the move !

Now she’s formally adopted, she wants to look like a ragged street kid. Not for long, I hope.

The Warbucks chauffeur used to work for Domino’s Pizza!

so where’s Sandy? If Annie didn’t age, then….

Annie has to look like an Orphan!!!

Sandy’s comment: “Arf”.

I don’t know how much Annie has changed her “look.” That top looks awfully familiar

1- BLONDIE: These horns are so embarrassing. 2- ANNIE: Try wearing your hair like this. Hides my conehead perfectly. 3- GREENIE: How come you’re dressing like a bum Annie? ANNIE: So I won’t get kidnapped like J. Paul Getty’s grandson. The cops in this town couldn’t find their butt’s with a map and a flashlight, let alone find me if I got kidnapped. BLONDIE: Word. ANNIE: No one says that anymore Blondie. GREENIE: Word.

Finally

Are they going to the theater in the mall? Maybe Honeymoon and Annie (with Crystal this time) will finally get to see “The Cardinal”! https://www.gocomics.com/dicktracy/2015/06/23

Memorial day musings (Annie strip 5/17/1942):

So one character has huge eyes, one has no pupils, and one has no eyes? Do I sense a theme?

The mall has not been the friendliest location for Honeymoon and her friends. The bullies were set straight, yet video of Honeymoon’s (then) new powers went viral. Clips can still be found on the infamous “Weirdness of the City” site. A knife-wielding thug was dropped like a bad habit, helping to cement Honeymoon’s friendship with Crystal. It is always a pleasure to see Honeymoon. Panel one is tremendous (iconic even). While I agree that the headband is a misfire, the young crimestoppers are ready for summer fun.

poor kid has been orphan 95 years…glad I lived to see her adopted

Try something else, Annie.

If you were going to change Annie’s whole look, why not give her eyeballs? Why change everything but that? Lizz used to be blank-eyed and now has eyeballs.

I like her new style!

Her swimsuit wasn’t updated. It looked like one from the 1930s.

Is this turning into Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants? Someone mentioned “Main Story”. Suuure

I know that S&C are taking a lot of artistic licence with the time, but that’s OK with me. When I started reading one of my favorite detective stories, it was the late 60’s and he was a WW2 vet in his 40’s. As the years went by he became a Vietnam vet.

I love this adventuring trio!

Since when did Joe & Mike decide the primary audience for Dick Tracy was adolescent girls?

I hope the movie at least is good. Annie looks awful.

Where’s Dick Tracy when one wants him?
