Well, that’s an interesting turn of events.
Since I’ve been updating, ah, infrequently, let me give you a quick recap.
It’s Tuesday. Edison is flying home to Rivendale to amicably divorce her husband Philo Pipkin, meet his girlfriend Agnes, and see her son Dilbert beginning on Wednesday. She’ll be flying back Friday, arriving Saturday.
Before she left, she gave her boyfriend Larry permission to frolic with Anya Langerak, but only on Thursday night. Why Thursday?
Suddenly she’s giving him permission to frolic every night she’s away. Because she’s going to frolic with her former boyfriend Karel K. Peck, aka Killroy? So, you may wonder, was she planning on frolicking with someone on Thursday, and, if so, whom?
What does Rad think about this? Does he still plan to try to seduce her tonight?
So many questions. And it looks like someone’s not happy with the whole situation. And when that someone’s not happy, well, sparks may fly, buildings may topple, and you get the idea.
UPDATE: New comic coming tomorrow morning! No time to publish tonight-gotta go to work. Dick Tracy is done, so we’ll be back on a regular schedule.
Hope you’re staying safe and well! Please check in, and let everyone know how you’re doing.
UPDATED UPDATE: Went to scan the picture and found a really badly drawn thing that I have to fix. Maybe tonight. Thank you for your patience.
Hmm. Can’t figure out that shadowy figure with the spotlight eyes….
Guess I’ll just have to possess my soul in patience.
Aw, c’mon Pops, you know who that is. She just has her hair up, so you can see both her glasses.
Errrr… Did she tease her hair before putting it up? It’s got more texture than I would expect.
I could possess my soul in Fresno, instead, if it helps.
Fresno with the raisins?
She did indeed. I wanted to have some fun with it, so I’m gonna go look at my old book of Charles Dana Gibson pictures to find a hairstyle.
They don’t seem too happy about Edison’s message. And they don’t even know about Killroy’s uhm… job description…
They don’t know about Killroy at all. Which may lead to a misunderstanding…
Killroy now? Edison’s not great at denying herself temptations. I guess now that alcohol is less of a factor, her focus has shifted.
I think you’ve put your finger on it, brother.
Who put their finger on what now???
The mighty Hjels may have revealed something about Edison’s character. Since she’s not drinking, she’s, well, pursuing other possibly self-destructive entertainments.
Oh.
You make horndoggery sound like a bad thing….
Far be it from me to cast aspersions upon horndoggery! Especially with my characters.
Howmsovever, it may have unintended consequences.
Hey Charlie.
Just checking in with you, man. Everything okay during the Covacation?
Ah, CLiff, thanks for checking in! Please, everyone, let us all know how you’re doing.
I’m working like crazy at the job. Healthwise, I had a scare, but it turned out to be a respiratory infection. Not fun, but not the crud.
And, now that Dick Tracy is done-and it starts next Sunday!-I hope everyone likes it-I have time to update Groovy, Kinda. Got two strips in the bag, so we shouldn’t miss anymore updates.
And how are you holding up in these crazy times, my friend?
Hi Charlie, good to know you’re OK. Having any bug these days is a scary thing, so stay safe. How do we get your Dick Tracy Easter special? TTFN, Chris
Hey Chris! It was pretty scary, having a respiratory thing these days. How’re you doing?
And, if you can’t read Dick Tracy in your local newspaper*, GoComics runs it here.
They have an interesting and fun group of commenters. I believe you have to sign up for a free trial to leave comments, though.
*Thank you in advance to my brother-in-law for sending me copies of The Chicago Tribune so I can see it in print!
Larry and Stephanie seem…concerned. Rightfully so.
