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.

I was going to say the same thing. Is that supposed to be a Batman shadow??
These single panel dailies are fun on occasion.

one cannot help but to wonder; what’s up with the thing on the wall? It’ll probably play into the story somehow.

Helloooo everybody. Perhaps it’s again time to see what Honeymoon is up to, ’eh? And it would be very cool to see Cinn become a cop. Maybe a detective in a few years?

Since there really isn’t much beyond that shadow, to comment on, instead I’m just gonna post another of my original designs for a Tracy “Grotesque” , let me know what you think (Keep in mind that I draw them in the Gouldian style, or as close as I can get to it)
