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 was hoping Phishface was at the bar, and Sam would look around and say, “OK, which one of you guys is Phishface?”

So Sam is at the right place and Chum comes in as Phishface is ordering takeout today so Sam can be led right to his hideout if Chum is so inclined? As the Church Lady of SNL would say, “How ConVEEEEEEEnient. Isn’t that special?”

Careful, Sam! When you confront a villain who thrives on sushi, you shouldn’t dress like a walking frond of seaweed!

@BillThompson
Yeah, come to think of it, Sam’s clothes are a bit anachronistic, since the rest of the characters seem to have kept up to date with the times……..

Phishface will be mighty “steamed” if Chum brings Sam to his doorstep.

Best to be cautious of Chum, Sam, and don’t repeat the mistake of going in without backup! Remember what happened in the fake hospital?

“Hi Pally”…this is obviously Joe The Bartender, one of Jackie Gleason’s great character impersonations! Nice little Easter Egg Mike! Keep up the “Super” work!
