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.

A number of us guessed that it was Teevo, probably because he looks like Nixon, snerk!

They should keep Teevo from talking to anyone and put out phony info on his spycam to trap Panda and Mumbles.

Not unexpectedly, Lt. Teevo is caught with his hands dirty.
Now, what’s the Tracy strategy? —Do we put the screws to Teevo (I guess MCU can’t waterboard him) and try to get information out of him directly; or, do we play along with his excuse and feed him misinformation? I think the latter might be more productive….

@Tarry Plaguer
That’s a cute one

So who is it that ends up feeding that hungry muerte vine, Teevo or Leonard? Mr. Crime can’t be happy with either of them right now.

I wonder what Panda had on Teevo to turn him. Moreover, will he be turned by SCU to become a triple agent?

I suspect they’ll start feeding him false information. Chewing gum on the lense is cute but wouldn’t a box or something that obstructed the camera’s view have been a little more natural?

BUSTED! Tracy, you are a genius!

A further thought occurs . . . the LENS (below table) allows only VISUALS, while a hidden microphone carries the sound of talk and police plans !.
Seems the latter is of greater importance than looking at say, Lizz’s legs (?) attractive as they certainly are !
Seem to recall that Panda’s earlier visuals had heads,arms etc (?)
Is there a second lens at a higher level ?

@Mdstudio
It wouldn’t raise suspicions if someone moved a box or chair out of the way. An obstruction like that would get moved the first time someone bumped into it. Covering the lens like this forced Teevo to go right to the camera (although it’s a strange development—wouldn’t someone at Mr. Crime’s HQ have noticed when the lens was covered? Why not have the mole plant a second camera, and get caught by the MCU’s camera?) (I know—because that would slow down a good story)
