    Situation dire

    Reversal of fire

    Hot blowtorch leaves a burn mark.

    Scarmony a jailbird

    Seems she had not heard

    Mysta no walk in the park.

    ~

    Cellmates once upon a time

    Trifling schemes and petty crime

    Now Scarmony wields a gun.

    Mysta fierce. She deals out pain

    Sends a message right as rain

    Incoming detective fun.

    ~

    She was like a sister

    Can hit like a twister

    That old friend is not here.

    She cannot recall

    Those old days at all

    Min dead and gone. O dear!

    At least it got here today and not tomorrow as has happened before. I believe the one who discovered the boo boo must be a Tracy fan and couldn’t get this “turned on” fast enough.

    Gerard:D exposed my quit claim about 3 hours ago

    @Gweedo it’s legal here Murray

    Really? I thought you were booted out. That’s what people are saying…

    The booting came a good piece after letting myself out of the “Green Room”. I would have been happy to stay, as other Pros would have if not for the extreme “makeover” with lame platitudes about how much greater this place would be. If they would have been honest and forthright about the changes instead of trying to whitewash a bad stain I and others may have been much more understanding.

    Good morning™, combative drinking buddies !

    We just had a good tumble now let’s have a drink, old buddy old pal. …But I still have to rough you up on that welshed promise. I think Mysta’s flashing is her Moon senses tingling. There will be a death but whose ?

    First panel after the Crimestoppers – since when does Mysta have (or Moon Maid before her) super strength.? Miss hobnail-boots is actually flying through the air!

    So at some point, Mindy had a shaved head, and ran with a motorcycle gang? Was this before or after her time depicted in the original Gould strips, where she wanted to win a Moon Maid look-alike contest?

    When did Scarmony lose her jacket? Did she strip it off the better to be able to fight? The sleeve was burned, but the whole jacket was not destroyed, the last time we had a good look at it.

    The strong impression I’m getting is that Mindy is coming back.

    The impression I’m getting is that Scarmony will succeed in bringing back Mindy’s memories.

    Then, what?

    On the other hand, this is a two week vacation from Mike and Joe.

    This whole thread may just get forgotten in another week’s time.

    Good afternoon™, everyone!

    Finally, the strip is up. Shane does a much better job of colouring the antennae than the weekday GoComics person does.

    The big question for me is: “What is Scarmony about to do?”

    Is anyone else finding this whole storyline a bit incoherent?

    Took a while

    To bring a smile

    To my very frustrated face

    The days are long

    No new Beatles songs

    Wife keeps getting on my case

    But worth all the wait

    To see what’s the fate

    Arriving for fake Mysta now

    Though the story’s not real

    Such a joy that I feel

    Watching her get bang zoom pow!

    Ruh-roh.

    What a revolting development this turns out to be!

    Lizz is now perforce in the crosshairs, at least if Scarmony can impose her will on Mysta-Don’t-Call-Me-Min! This could change the nature of the game through Week Two of this short tale….

    I think the main criticism of this Mint Mysteries has been of the colouring and I agree, what is suppose to be fullness in their faces in my opinion looks either chubby or just fat. GroovyKinda has said repeatedly that his inspiration were the MAD magazine artwork and you can see that, especially if you go to his website and see his other comic where you’ll see that he’s just inked it not coloured it. I think the main problem is, and my main problem with the colouring is that it’s too bright so it makes it look comical. I distinctly remember when MAD did the colouring for the front cover, Edward E. Newman comes to mind, they blended the colour in and gave the face features with their colouring, like cheekbone and such. Where the colouring is just slapped on haphazard in my opinion, as in everything must have colour on it.

    Don’t be too hard on him, give him a break, even though I’m not a fan of this. You have to realise he’s not responsible for the colouring and also as he’s stated above the content, which he is responsible of, has been cleared by the regular team. Remember we’ve all complained about not just the colouring, but also the storyline not just on DT but on the other comics as well. especially about the GC crack colouring team.

    Hey Kenny G, what gives? You’re complaining more today than in a years worth of Mike and Joe’s strips.

    He’s trying to accomplish in two weeks what is normally a much longer process so stop being a Lucy and let Charlie kick the darn football!

    The dialogue all along is like dialogue a man would imagine young women would talk like,
