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.

Little Joe is plenty old enough for a lesson in what’s real and what isn’t. I think Tess looks that way because she knows all too well what reality is, and what it’s like being married to an officer of the law. One word for you and those like you today Tracy, RESPECT.

Yup, that’s a sly look on Tess’s face.

Well, I see that I have missed something in the intervening years before I started reading Tracy on GoComics…….where’d the kid come from?? I didn’t know Tracy and Tess had one?

@margueritem
Yes.
Which is why he doesn’t want Tess in the “family business” but it’s ok if their son takes over the “family business”.

Around 1980. They decided to visit their married daughter in Washington State. It was an emergency childbirth situation. A older teen with saftey pins through the lobes of the ears helped with pins after he made his debut in the world.

Joseph Flintheart (“Joe”) Tracy, Dick and Tess’s second child. Named after Tracy’s “godfather” (cpt. Joseph Medill Patterson, who gave Chet Gould his job), and Vitamin Flintheart, who helped Tess during the somewhat difficult childbirth. A Fletcher and Collins creation.

“It’s not like that for law enforcers in our world…”
but it’s implied there’s a Batman in this universe, sure he’s not a hero with powers, but he his a costumed crimefighter.
Keep it straight,Mike :)
