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.

The team gives thanks to Jim Scancarelli for letting us use one of his characters from Gasoline Alley as a guest for the week.
Thanks Jim!

@Tarry Plaguer
To be accurate, the creator of Gasoline Alley was Frank King; after his death, his assistant , former Disney artist (and former assistant to Gould), Dick Moores, took over the strip until his death from liver disease, when Scancarelli took over

So, i guess Measles went out with a whimper after all, seems kind of an anti-climax to such an intense story

An interesting side note to Gasoline Alley, it was the first cartoon that featured characters aging in real time (I believe that trend ended in the 1980s, cause some of the characters would be well over 100 years old now)

could it be it is Davey using an alias?

@Mikeyj
Measles was bent on self-destruction, and it seems fitting that his end came not in a hail of bullets but with a self-induced overdose.
