   And I agree, the art for this caper has been fantastic. The story has been interesting and has proceeded at a good pace, too. Kudos to Charles Ettinger and Mike Curtis.

   Lunarians aren’t bullet proof. Just sayin’.

   Agreed, today’s strip is terrifically rendered. More good stuff from Sir Charles.

   Well said! I couldn’t agree more. The introduction of Moon Maid and the Space Era in the early 1960’s sparked a resurgence of Dick Tracy and unprecedented growth in newspaper subscriptions. It was a very creative period of the strip, with art that was arguably Gould’s finest. The original Space Era was very popular, especially with people like me who were young at that time, and Moon Maid was a sensation. And isn’t it interesting that the introduction of the new Moon Maid and the return to space in 2012-2013 resulted in multiple well-deserved Harvey Awards for Curtis and Co., and made Dick Tracy relevant again after years of stagnation and decline? That was no coincidence. The return to space reignited long-dormant passion for the strip that Gould’s successors had long suppressed but could never extinguish. And without doubt, Mysta Chimera and her transformation into a full Lunarian woman is at the heart of that renewed passion.

   I think Mysta’s just glad to see her friend (and genetic father) Thorin, whom she feared had come to harm since Ro-Zan escaped his imprisonment.

   Yes, and the original Earthwoman was fairly tall as a teenager (when she was first introduced) and has presumably grown since then.

   Congrats, Gweedo! I hope the buying process is smooth sailing for you.

   Ro-Zan has the sparks on, but not Mysta, wonder why?!

   Good observation! Ro-Zan looks annoyed, too. I take it he was hoping for a night cap with Mysta, and she’s turned her back to him with an odd grin on her face and no sparks flying to show she has zero interest in resuming things with him. “Have a good evening (loser).”

   Mysta looks strange because she is wearing a female human corporate “outfit” / business suit as opposed to her normal Lunarian clothes.

   Agreed. I’m not sure why Mysta is even wearing a coat, since Lunarians prefer the cold. See the “Chill-Out Room” she created in her apartment (10-18-2016 through 10-22-2016 strips, and also 11-01-2016 through 11-02-2016). Mysta enjoys 30-40 degree temperatures in her Moon clothes — in fact, she’s been shown comfortably napping in her Lunarian garb at temperatures approaching 70 below zero. Strange that she would wear a coat when it’s not even cold outside (Diet obviously comfortable in his suit).

    Tracy saw what was happening and crashed through a window to stop Bribery. That’s also when Tracy took possession of the ring.
