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.

Good Morning Detectives!
Congratulations to yesterday’s winners Chris Robinson, Day-Day2001 and Willy007!
Is that a female Measles? Perhaps she’s the one responsible behind the Moon Maid sightings recently?

Not a female…That’s Measles! Thank You, Team Tracy’ for another great memory! Loving every day of this strip.

I think I understand what you mean, that this seems completely out of the blue. But it actually does fit with story developments from the last few days. Sparkle announced just yesterday she was going to spend a few days at B.O. and Gertie’s place, and it just so happens that Measles (according to what I’ve read) has sworn in the past to kill Gertie! So, I have a strong hunch we’re going to see an intersection sometime soon between the Plenty family and this Measles.

“Mysta and Mjölnir" — HA! Thanks everyone, it was a labor of love! (for Mysta and her hammer that is!)

This does make sense. I’m also thinking that Measles and Junior go to the same barber.

Measles goes to Sunny Dell Acres, while Mysta visits Junior? Oh, this is getting GOOD!!

@Gweedo Murray
Thanks Gweedo! Forgot to give you that shout out I promised for your assistance on finalizing my avatar. Adding Mjölnir did the trick, it seems!

Another old-time baddie reappears! And JerryH helps explain how this turn might fit into the storyline. —There are so many of these bad guys running around loose! The MCU is certainly not short of business!
