About Dick Tracy
Chester Gould, a veteran cartoonist, began drawing his most legendary character, the dashing and daring Dick Tracy for the newspaper comics page in 1931. Modeled in the image of the innovative Sherlock Holmes, Gould was inspired to create new crime-fighting technology, including the two-way wrist TV, closed circuit TV police line-up and the engineless car that took Dick Tracy to the moon (both literally and figuratively).
Although many remember him with fond nostalgia, Dick Tracy, now written and illustrated by Dick Locher, continues to be relevant as he combines old-fashioned values with 21st century innovation to capture corporate crooks, computer pirates, polluters, skyjackers, gang members and terrorists.

Good for Fee Fi and Della Contessa! Tracy’s closing in on things now. He’s a fast operator!
Tracy left out the Pig on Wheels. I’m sure he’s one of the good guys!
And what about the elephant girl? And the elephant. They didn’t do anything bad… except for the possible mess the elephant left on the floor.
Please feed the tiger!

Considering “Mr. Pops” original crime, he might end up in a federal prison.

Joe Allen Doty said, “Considering “Mr. Pops” original crime, he might end up in a federal prison.”
I believe he was dealing the sale of illegal arms. Then he stated that he paid his (illegal) customers the money he owed them and was released from prison. That’s when he set out to find Ringo (who was in the FBI Witness Protection Program) “hiding” in the circus as ringmaster.
