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.

So…..is Mole trying to make an impression with someone else’s generosity?

I think he is sharing his good fortune in having the gift certificate. He’s being a decent chap. The question is, where are Ratty, Otter, and Badger?

And to think Warren Beatty wasted his old friend Dustin Hoffman in the role of Mumbles!

@blunebottle
The Spencers already know that the dinner is on a gift certificate that Mole received from a friend, so he’s not making a false impression.

I think from now on, I’ll flag him automatically each time I see his name on a post, whether I read it or not

I don’t mind the idea of having 2 arcs run concurrently, but, seems a bit TOO abrupt here

Interesting coincidence that Tracy should be dining at Lowery’s the same evening that Mr. Mole, Mrs. Spencer, and Toad are there. I wonder who might be with Tracy; George and Brad?

Good morning all…

Good morning, VB!

Hmm.. they don’t know who bought the gift certificate. So, Mole may be trying to ride on it a bit. But mole is a decent guy, at heart.

I hope it turns out to be an uneventful evening for Mole and company. They deserve a break.

So Mole and the Spencers are back. I hope this does not bode bad for Toad. Mike has warned that this is going to be a dark story arc that deals with a pedophile. I hope that Toad is not in line to be his next victim. Knowing Mole’s early blood thirsty history, I am not sure I want to be the pedophile if he does go after Toad….

mikeyj, it ALMOST reads like THREE storylines at once…. george and lake freedom, mole and the dinner party, and sweatbox… so you KNOW one of them is gonna tie into the other somehow!
