(After you admire the lovely illustration and coloring of this particular strip)
The sublime:
And the ridiculous:
Let’s see. A very convoluted Dick Tracy plot, while pretty exciting, has been made even more so by the guest appearance of George Takei Tawara (no kidding!), who spent part of his life in a Japanese American interment camp (also no kidding) near Tracyville during WWII (not quite the locale). A bad guy snatches a little homeless girl and threatens her unless George Takei Tawara cooperates in some nefarious plan.
All you fans of George Tawara Takei on Facebook will not be surprised when…
And in Sunday’s Phantom, sexy Captain Savarna has lost her ship and contemplates a new career (Or, “Everything’s Better with a Kitty”):
Happy Monday! Try to contain yourselves for Adventure:
Action:
And an absolutely devoid sense of comedy and comedic timing:
Okay, Kit, we get it — you’re all righteously indignant about the Spirit Lioness hoax. I’m sure Lioness #5 is indignant, too. But with all the time you’ve spent skulking and waxing eloquent, you can afford her a little “me time,” too.
And see? If you’re going to stomp around, impatiently waiting for others, maybe you should take a little “me time” for yourself as well.
…particularly when he was ‘splaining all this to Young Tribal Cheiftaness, but I still wonder if Kit really knew what was going on with all the Spirit Lionesses.
Oh, heck. Here’s a new Lioness, so maybe we’ll get a few days’ worth of keen lion drawings!
Wow, just when I thought The Phantom was going to get all dull and talky since the Spirit Lioness mystery had been solved and SL had been sent on her way, the Bad Guys continue their game!
In the words of Jay Leno, “MORE ANIMALS!”
What more could you expect, Kit?
Okay, okay, I get it…Jan. 7-11: Kit Walks Around with Spirit Lioness.
I’m wondering if this extends into January 12…
UPDATE: Of course it does!
It’s just a little too insane, in any other language…
We know Kit’s only trying to help, but…
But wait! There’s more! (oh, dear God…)
It was all fun and games and zaps with the electronic doo-hickey, but The Phantom’s work is still far from over, and the most pressing need is the health and safety of the Spirit Lioness.
And here’s something, just for fun…
Personally, I think this would be a step in the right direction, too (or maybe Devil and Spirit Lioness — lose the goober in the tights):
But then, there are the inevitable doubts, and for good reason:
I nailed the ZAP! in today’s Phantom (Go, me!), spelling variations aside, but I hadn’t realized just how BIG it was — no wonder the Spirit Lioness was so testy! And even Kit was impressed!
Speaking of testy, and places close to it…
And it’s the last Friday of 2012, so TGIF, everyone!
