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.

Say what?!?

Apparently, he won “miss congeniality”; cause he sure doesn’t look ANYTHING like Vitamin!

(They might have their ages in common, but, that’s about IT!)

Wasn’t Sunny Wheat the company that sponsored the Moon Maid lookalike contest that Sparkle Plenty won?

Walt seems to have aged considerably since the Sunday strip.

Walt looks a lot younger here than he looks in Gasoline Alley.

@Stevero
Well if he looked any older we wouldn’t be talking about wheat. We’d be talking daisies, as in “pushing up.”
JerryH said, 6 months ago
Huh? Something suspicious going on here since they looking nothing alike.

Old Walt is a WW I USN vet, so I think he looks real good.

I would never mistake Walt Wallet for Vitamin Flintheart. Something about this contest seems suspicious. But I’ll wait to see where this storyline goes over the next couple of days….

You know those contests — “You may have just won a million dollars,” etc.
Maybe Walt was the contest’s only entrant.

Ah, you might have something there… DT vs. CROOKED telemarketing schemes aimed at the aged! (My own parents are in their mid 70s and they get several calls by these con men every week)

Fortunately, my parent’s faculties are still sharp and, when something seems legit, they have me check them out on Snopes or the newswires online, just to be safe!

Yes, Sunny Wheat was the company. Posie’s daughter, Mandy, ended up killing the judges for choosing Sparkle over her.

Day-Day beat me to it on answering the question about Sunny Wheat. As part of her prize, Sparkle got to take her family on a trip to the moon. B.O., Gertie and daughter on a wild flight of fancy.
