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.

Good morning all…
I’m confused!

That sounds like last place to me.

Oh, this is just brilliant. I can’t believe how much better Dick Tracy is than he was not so long ago.

I like Walt waving (goodbye?) to us. Still no clue what’s going on with all this, but it’s been fun.

@VistaBill
You’re not the only one . . .

(now I will look at Gasoline Alley and see if Walt is there yet)

After the movie marathon is over, any guesses out there about what else Walt will win?

Maybe down at Gitmo they should replace waterboarding with Flintheart film marathons! LOL

Looks like they’re wrapping up the Gasoline Alley detour. Will this fit somehow into a future case?

What is with the confusion? Vitamin Flintheart had a sweepstakes, only Walt Wallet won but he doesn’t look anything like Flintheart. So they go to see Tracy about it. Wallet gets to stay at Flintheart’s to see all of his movies. End of story. We may find out later if there is something sinister about Walt wining a look alike contest without really fitting the parameters of the contest.

Well yeah, but this story popped up out of the blue and has no apparent relevance to what happened before. As Tracy fans we have a little sleuth in us that wants to know what’s up with all this and what crime(s) it is connected to.

……and WHEN do we get back to the other matter- the case of the mysterious Mysta.

This could be just a quick detour for no apparent reason and I would still love it. I think it’s fun just to see that “Ye Gods” look on Tracy’s face.

Oh, so now Sam’s an expert film critic, heh?! Although he may be right. In how many films (including D-class clunkers) has Vitamin Flintheart appeared, anyway? Tracy’s facepalm in panel 3 suggests there are pretty many….
Thus, I think, concludeth our intermezzo.
