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.

Oh my! I just read up on Pain patches. Really interesting reading.The active ingredient is the narcotic Fentanyl.
The info I found said when used “recreationally”, which includes cutting it up and swallowing it, “fentanyl may be hundreds of times more potent than street heroin, and tends to produce significantly worse respiratory depression, making it somewhat more dangerous than heroin to users.”
Over doses are very hard to counter.
Bye Bye Measles.

I think I saw something like this on “Dr. G”. Of course, all of Dr. G’s patients are dead…

Mornin’, VistaBill, margueritem, and all!
Wow.
There is stupid, there is STOO-PID, and then there is Measles.

This is why on Sunday we saw the Skeleton of Death, with it’s bony hand draped over Measles’ shoulder.

How can he read that fine print on that box. Does he have a bonfire blazing away? I have a problem sometimes reading that stuff using a desk lamp!

It looks pretty much inevitable now that when the cops approach The Burning Coat Tree of refuge, they will find Measles dead of an overdose of orally ingested pain patches, abetted by the wounds he has suffered in his foolish attack on Sunny Dell Acres.

At least he will have died doing what he enjoyed (sarcasm)

Probably a normal person would OD if they ate several of those patches, especially if they are narcotic.

Looks like Measles is a Darwin Award just waiting to happen
