Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for August 23, 2022

Good morning™, everyone!

Someone predicted yesterday that the girls would sneak out and follow. I hope they don’t get too close to the “action” or we might find out what Ro-Zan had in mind for them.

From what I can see, they have at least five Space Coupes in there.

A little “antenna action” going on in Panel 3.

Ohh, those sneaky girls!!!

Disobeying direct orders has turned their hair white!!

So many Space Coupes … ✨

Someone needs to market the Moonieville diet,,,no one is fat!!!

Good morning™, those about to be captured !

Seen this one too many times. Someone(s) comes up from behind to get the drop on the hero. Good luck, ladies and be sure to “transmit” so Thor and DT know where to find you.

Mad Mindy at least had the sense to change from the black top to her blue one. Looks less trashy on her! LOL!

Gee, hope one of the girls doesn’t get killed this week….would Mike kill of Mysta and/or Honeymoon?

If they can all sense emotions, why Thorin’s charade of pretending all is normal (not very convincing even for not telepathic people)?

You’d think Mysta maybe would have mentioned to someone that RoZan told her he had big plans for the outside world, & the plans probably didn’t include Earthlings & Lunarians having a giant Kumbaya moment.

I LOVE it! The Showdown. Mysta and Honeymoon are on it!!!

Mysta is HOT!!!

Trouble is in the air

As we reach the most frenzied part of this tale, l give my regards to Shelley Pleger for her splendid graphic designs.

Good for them to decide to actually get involved. Granted I feel this isn’t going to end well for them, but it’s on Tracey for not explaning the situation. I do get NOW why he wanted Mysta to stay back, they don’t know what the actual plan for either of them is and involving them would bring them right to the racists doorstep.. but not involving them when if they don’t stop these guys humans will die en masse and not at least telling them anything only brought them to the doorstep anyway.

Curiosity killed the cat and hopefully this does not become an example !!!

I guess they were manufacturing Space Coupes there ? !

The images of the guards today reminds me of an old comic book ad…remember “Sea Monkeys?”

Sneak Sneak Sneak Sneak…How hard it must be to sneak around a nation of telpaths

well, it didn’t take rocket science credentials to determine how THIS turn of events was going to happen and a GPS to see where this installment is going NOW… like we didn’t see this coming a hemisphere away…

cue the ominous music

What could go wrong?

curiosity killed the cat… hopefully they won’t come to regret it.

When do you think Dick is going to ask Grandpa-of-the-Year Thorin the Moon Ambassador why he insisted their young granddaughter come visit in the middle of a putsch?

The third panel looks so much like that scene in The Wizard of Oz I wonder if Shelley used it as a model.

What’s up with the white top of their hair in panel 2? I’m assuming that’s just a colorist mistake.

And here is the kink that always happens when they do not listen to what they are told!

I knew it! Honeymoon just couldn’t resist. And yes, it was her idea because Mysta is saying they should have followed Tracy’s instructions to wait.

Before the story ends, Honeymoon will discover a power she never thought she has

1-MYSTA: DO WE HAVE TO DO THIS? MY NEW OUTFIT IS RIDING WAY UP MY HIP AND SMOOSHING MY OV… HONEY MOONS: PIPE DOWN! I’M RIGHT HERE!

2-…Oh no! You got bat shlt all over your head! MYSTA: So do you! Stupid cave life! And I just had my hair colored.

HONEY: Well, it’s gone from blonde to burnt amber now. With snow on top. MYSTA: Really? Got a mirror?

3-HONEY: No but I bet somebody down there does.

MYSTA: What are we waiting for? Let’s find out!

I was wrong…Ro-Zan does have security around the Space Coupes. Curiosity got the better of Honeymoon. Good thing she has Mysta for company.

Yipes! The potential for a “hostage situation”. Will Tesla find out that Ro-Zan had a one-night stand behind her back?

“Oh, eeoh eho yeeo-umph….”

Sure, ignore Grandpa’s warning, stupidly impetuous girls! You are heading straight for Trouble (with a capital T); it’s such a classic trope.

We don’t even know to whom those guards (Armsmen) are loyal, Thorin or Ro-Zan; much less do you, Mysta and Honeymoon.

Curious (to me, at least) that Honeymoon seems to be the alpha of this pair, with Mysta accepting pretty much whatever she says….

The mad colorist strikes again.From blonde to auburn in one easy lesson
