I realize misunderstanding is the basis of conflict but holy hell you exclusively go by "Mrs. Blossom" in the 1920s. That is not going to be a rare line of inquiry.

TJ is being massively creepy with his "You guys are married now, so I know what you do with each other. Let me remind you at every turn" bit. Not only does he probably have cameras in the room but he will probably press his ear against the wall every time they're alone in there.

For those who haven't been keeping up with Dick Tracy, the current team loves one thing above all else: Referencing old Dick Tracy characters. But second to that is crossovers. When Little Orphan Annie was cancelled mid-story the characters appeared in Dick Tracy to resolve it, and ever since then Annie, Warbucks, etc. have been recurring Dick Tracy characters. The Great Am was originally a Little Orphan Annie character, a mysterious immortal being who may or may not be God. The Spirit is from his own comic.

There have also been crossovers and references to The Phantom, Alley Oop and On The FastRack and WWE, which also means that Dick Tracy takes place in the same world as Safe Havens and Mary Worth. And I can pretty much guarantee that I'm missing some stuff here, because Staton and Curtis do not miss a chance for a reference.

You forget the most important cross-over of all: Funky Winkerbean! In his own strip, Tracy happened to trip up a bank robbery in Cancerview. In Batiuk's strip, Dick Tracy helped point out to the regular characters where some old comic books that had been police evidence were being auctioned.

And now, the other comics I post! Thanks to a front-loaded work week, I wait to post half my comics until the back end of the week. Thanks to a snowstorm, you get these guys a day early. All of these are soap strips with an overarching plot, so prepare for :words:


Phantom Classic is just like New Phantom, but way older and people tend to like him more. In the current storyline, Diana has been kidnapped by a shady Thugee cult and held for ransom. Phantom is going to rescue her, of course. He infiltrated their secret base by disguising himself as another would-be kidnap victim and getting them to kidnap him instead. Then he went and jumped off the boat they were transporting him in and they're not sure if he's still alive. (He is.)


Also, there is a gorilla involved.



As I mentioned on Sunday, Comics Kingdom runs the weeklies and the Sundays offset from each other by several months, so you may recognize this plotline if you've been reading Sunday Phantom Classic for a while.


Radio Patrol is so damned convoluted, and that's the way we like it. Our heroes are Pat The Cop, Infantile Girlfriend (required by 1940's rules to be treated like a toddler at all times), and Pinky The Loathsome (one of those horrible children that appear in media all the time so kids will read/watch who are always horning in and are so smart and good at everything that you just wish they would die or at least be told to shut up). These people don't appear in today's strips.

We seem to be wrapping up the current storyline, but it's hard to tell with Radio Patrol. The main bad guy this time is called "The Mind" on account of he's so smart and also he leaves coins with a skull on them at the scene of his crimes. (It was so he could collect on a bet with his co-conspirator, "Sport", which doesn't matter since he murdered that guy anyway.) Now we've gotten to the inevitable point in any Radio Patrol storyline where the bad guy tries to get away and it takes forever and there's lots of running around.





Rip Kirby details the adventures of the titular Rip Kirby, super PI, and his standard-issue English butler, Desmond. The current storyline is pretty new, and involves a belly dancer and pickpocket named Sirene who is being exploited and blackmailed into doing more pickpocketing by some jerk named... uh... I forget. But no matter, it's sure to come up again.





Big Ben Bolt used to be a champion boxer, but now he's retired and has become a reporter. In the current storyline he's hanging out with his pal and former manager, Spider just so we can check back in with the boxing world for a bit. Our heroes are dismayed to find out that a promising young boxer has been contracted by his lazy dad to box for a shady promoter (Mr. Crain) who fixes fights. Dad recently found out the truth about the fixed fights and tried a little touch of ham-fisted extortion on Mr. Crain, but only got his rear end kicked by goons for his trouble.




Also, don't let the young boxer's appearance fool you. Though he appears to be 47, he's actually supposed to be quite young. Whatever the appropriate age to start boxing professionally is.

Oh yeah. Which also means that Crankshaft is also in the same universe, but offset by ten years while also being set in the present. I kind of want a direct Dick Tracy/Crankshaft crossover now just to add to the confusion of that temporal anomaly.
