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.

Is this a “real” flashback, and if so, can anyone tell me when it originally appeared in the strip? TIA

Seriously?
Gasoline Alley’s Walt Wallet appeared in a Dick Tracy strip from the Chester Gould days?

nono… I was just commenting on which era Gould drew Tracy that way, when I typed that, 60s fan’s comment wasn’t even up yet (Happens a lot… yesterday i was first on 3 cartoons, a few mins later i was 3rd or 4th; just depends who’s closest to the servers, I guess)

No fair to Walt…he comes from a different comic time zone that ages faster than Dick.

No, unless it was in a “Tijuana Bible” with a gay theme perhaps :p
