About Dick Tracy
Artist Joe Staton and writer Mike Curtis co-author "Dick Tracy," the classic comic strip distributed by Tribune Media Services.
Created by Chester Gould in 1931, "Dick Tracy" is one of America's most-enduring pop-cultural icons, noteworthy for its steadfast, chisel-jawed hero and the gruesome gallery of villains he and his fearless team of Crimestoppers must outwit to put behind bars.
When longtime "Dick Tracy" artist and writer Dick Locher retired from the strip after 32 years of meritorious service, fans Staton and Curtis jumped at the chance to don the yellow fedora and trench coat. Staton has been drawing comic books for many years and has more than 1,000 credits under his belt. Curtis, who has been writing comics since 1986, is the only former law-enforcement officer to work on "Dick Tracy." Both creators are excited about the new--and dangerous--adventures they have in store for Dick Tracy and his Crimestoppers.

I went several years without reading Dick Tracy. What is a Crime-O-Scope?

Tracy made a wisecrack. I haven’t seen that much, if at all. Things are lightening up for the holidays at the MCS. Will crime take a holiday?

Wait a minute Sam; if you are in fact, Sam.

I think we are about to see the gang celebrating Chanukah and Christmas … hope we see at least one panel with those big flakes of snow like CG depicted.

The light-hearted banter of the MCS office is a fine lead-up to a Christmas of peace and joy, before we return to the gritty work at hand….

I hope whoever Liz(z) is going home to has had his Prozac. She’s gotta be chock-full of caffeine and ready-to-rumble. She’s been drinking coffee for a solid week now.

Went over to ComicStripNation to look at the strip in B&W to check out something. Found a Joe Stanton comment on B&W there, nice! I really like this strip in B&W, the dailies that is.

Wow! I’ve been gone from this strip for over a year — couldn’t stand what had been done to it. I somehow missed that they had actually gotten someone who can both draw and write. The chief is back, there’s room for characters, and the story moves. I don’t know when this happened, but it’s good to see the strip has made a comeback. This is a Christmas present for me.

FINALLY! The cops realize that some creepy fat guy’s been spying on children, having them sit on his lap, and breaking into homes and leaving bribes for children to make them behave. LOCK HIM UP!
J/K… Mostly.
