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.

Measles will be sure to meet his demise before this story line ends.

Measles is demented, probably drug-addled, and is just as likely as not to torch himself along with the trailer.
CyberV said, 8 months ago
Pretty sure the first panel shows him falling. He’s lying dead in the second.

@Still Da Man!
Measles has rolled him over to search his pockets for the keys.

The pizza party ends badly for Bookie. All bets are off on a long life for Measles. Odds are good for another sighting of…well, you know who she is.

In the grand Gould tradition, Measles wants to torch the evidence to try to cover his tracks.

There’s someone over at Dick Tracy using the name Still Da Man and your avatar, letting people think he’s you. I don’t think he is as he is being quite rude. You may want to take a look when you get the chance.

The “Still Da Man” handle is NOT me, Timmy. GoComics knows who it is and should be taking steps to address the situation with some finality.
I post using only my REAL name. I’m not some internet coward who hides behind a handle.
Sorry that you don’t like Marty and Spud. Not everybody’s cup of tea.
Cheers-
