Is Dick Tracy's Real Name Richard?
Did you know you can now become a DCR follower? At the very bottom of our page you can see who is following us and also join their illustrious ranks. February has one more day remaining so there will be a new poll up next week where you can vote on the worst comic of the month - EXCITING! And last but not least my monthly plea for more writers! Do you read comics and think you might have something additional to contribute to the DCR? I am always looking to reduce the ammount of work I do on a day to day basis and even with my already amazing staff I am always looking to expand. Drop us an email - dailycomicsreview @ gmail.com

Thank you Ryan North! I promise right now I will NEVER use the verb sited in the above comic. Yes, we are now on twitter, and I have been racking my brain trying to figure out a way to promise to never use that stupid fake word; it looks like T-Rex has saved me again.
Dick Tracy 2/27/09
So instead of calling 911, Dick stands idly by and watches some horribly named villain-of-the-week burn to death inside her car while he blabs on and on about his car. Is Toyota sponsoring the strip now or something? Hybrids still burn you moron, and decent human beings don't just watch people turn in to ashes.

Unless you have been follow C&B all week you will have no idea what is going on here. I have been reading this strip and even still I have no idea what is going on. That's the beauty of Cow and Boy.
Momma 2/27/09
I know deep inside the joke here is about Momma's natural impulse to squash any happiness from her children's lives the moment it arises, but on the surface it's just about gay incest.

You've got Ryan's strip exactly backwards, I'm afraid. T.Rex revolts against the new definition of "tweeting"-- not a new word-- but his more sensible interlocutor points out that many of the words we now take for granted have the same kind of etymology that it does.
Nobody's stopping you from hating on the word, but using T.Rex as a supporting argument is like quoting the foolish Polonius in "Hamlet."
(I can handle "tweeting" okay, since it's close to the dictionary meaning, but I don't get the use of "twits" as a term of respect for "my fellow Twitter users." That just seems confounding.)
I wasn't agreeing/disagreeing with Ryan, I was just thankful that someone else used the "word that shall not be written" in a comic so I could make my promise without ever having to write it.
