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.

Crossovers, retro-art, strange contest results, and now a baby named Judy. This is getting good!

Geez, was everyone leaving babies for the Wallets to adopt*??? (I guess Frank King couldn’t abide the thought his precious characters having sex!)
*Their adopted son Skeezix was left on their doorstep

Except for flashbacks, does Dick Tracy take place in the present time?

@Tarry Plaguer
Thank you! I registered and read it. It’s surprising how much exposition comics had in those days.

@Mikeyj
Walt & Phyllis’s son Corky was conceived and born “the old fashioned way.” According to the strip at the time (check out the storyline at ilovecomixarchive.com) someone stole the keys to Walt’s car and put the baby in specifically BECAUSE Walt had done such a good job raising Skeezix. Once Phyllis saw little Judy she decided they should jump through the hoops to adopt her. Of course if Walt had just taken her home when he found her they wouldn’t have had to go through the adoption process. Only in the comics I guess.

I forgot about Corky… but then, it was Skeezix who kind of took over the strip after a time

ok, so the “circle is complete” now.. .tracy was working the case when walt found the baby in his car… can we NOW get to how this whole story ties into vitamin flintheart and (yet another) story of scamming someone?
