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.

Congrats tsull2121… As far as today’s strip, it feels like there’s a hole there. Who found the spy cam? I’m sure it’ll get patched up in future strips, but it seems like it’s jumping ahead.

I noticed that, too. I do like the gum trick.

Not only the trick, but the whole second panel. That’s a pretty snazzy closeup of Tracy with the gum. Looks like it should be on a billboard.

Leonard could have helped find it: "The big screen TV at supervillain headquarters shows your squad room, and the field of view included . . . " The MCU could work backward from that.

Which would make sense… But for readability, it would have been easier to point that out instead of just saying “now that we found…” I trust Mike and Joe like I trust my own mother, though. Everything will be clear soon, I’m sure.

Gotta love low tech. Why take a chance on glitch-prone high tech if not absolutely necessary?! Tracy’s looking good (panels 1 & 2) and thinking well today!

OK, Mike. Wazzup with 10 tonight?

Agreed. I think that my great uncle Ed, who got me started on “Dick Tracy” way back when I was a kid (he had been following it since the 1940s), would be quite pleased with the work the new team is doing.
