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.

Wow!
Two shots fired – Teevo’s got to be down – but how’s the chief?
Love this strip!

Good morning all…
I think the “Blams!” are from Patton’s revolver. Teevo’s semi-automatic would make “Flooom!” sounds.

Why is the cop with the paperwork wearing a jacket in June?

If the chief shoots Teevo from the angle in panel 1. It’ll finally give that old rat a much-needed nose job.
Have a good one and survive your Monday, folks. See ya’ here tomorrow.

Scott,

Re your comment:

“Why is the cop with the paperwork wearing a jacket in June?”
.
For the same reason that Tracy is wearing a heavy trenchcoat and leather gloves in June in yesterday’s strip.
.
And I’ll thank you not to question my fashion choices.

Teevo most likely knew the Chief wasn’t going to flip over to Mr. Crime’s team but he needed to stall him somehow when he went for his gun. A great strip.

Teevo reminds me of Nixon. Couldn’t trust him either.

It wasn’t that long ago when it was cold enough for snow, so Officer Doherty and Tracy can get away with the heavier gear.
I would say Teevo is definitely not a red herring at this stage… ;-)

Funny and true, VB!

Well, Teevo is indeed a dirty ratfink, and dumb, too. My guess is that by trying to draw down on Pat Patton, he bought it. BLAM! BLAM!

Chief, I believe Mr. Crimes H.Q. is well aware Tracy and company is already there. Teevo, you would have been too late. I’m guessing Teevo was too late on the draw as well. Scratch one mole.

Chief Patton already has his weapon drawn I hope that he shoots Teevo 2 (TWO) times! He still looks like Nixon.
