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.

IT’S VOTING DAY!!
Time for everyone to sound off on who has the best Moon Maid avatar! We got a bunch of new entries yesterday, so there are tons to choose from.
Please review the last 2-3 days of comments, make your choices, and then post your votes here.
Three categories: 1) Sexiest; 2) Most creative; 3) Best overall
And if you feel like it, tell us why you voted as you did. Not required, but it will make the competition more fun!

Oh Junior, you’re going to have some choosing to do yourself!

Go ahead Sparkle, twist my arm, er hand. BO will be on his side of the mnt, you will be serving side dishes at Sunny Acres and I’ll be thinking about other things on the side.

@JerryH
First to comment, so might as well be the first to vote.
Sexiest: Day-Day2001! (All those curves!!)
Most creative: Chris Robinson (original creation!)
Best overall: Willy007 (great tweaks and that hammer!)
Others I enjoyed (there were lots of others, too!)
JB2K (hot pants!)
DrSid1 (lovely and nice history to go with it)
JerryH (just beautiful)

Seems to obvious to me. Certainly more obvious than which avatar is the best.

Mornin’ all!
I’m going to pass on voting on the avatars, but today’s strip —
Dum dum DUMM!
Everything is set up for a Sunday strip in which Junior and Honeymoon meet – Moon Maid?

Here are my votes! I was tempted to vote for mine, but decided not to.
Sexiest: splitting my vote between Day-Day2001 (agreed with 60sFan, the curves are amazing!) and yumpinyiminey (love that pose!)
Most creative: Chris Robinson (really nice work and totally original!)
Best overall: JerryH (jolts me every time I see it—gorgeous!)

Ditto. There are times for “the sound” and this comment was certainly one of those. We know the meeting is going to happen, but what happens then? Can’t wait!

Just to find a slightly different ‘take"—I don’t think Mammy (Gravel Gertie) needs taking care of as much as does Sparkle! Gravel Gertie may end up saving her daughter with her old long-gun from some intruder. (We can’t be sure it’s Junior who will have an adventure when the two are apart!)

Sounds like tomorrow’s strip may feature a big meeting.
