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.

The bones, so close to the door, were they about to leave?

Now that isn’t supposed to happen. They are in coffins stacked in a mausoleum.

You said: “Now that isn’t supposed to happen. They are in coffins stacked in a mausoleum.”
-———————————————————Maybe these bones aren’t supposed to be there…
(Nothing like finding a skeleton to move the story along!)

A special thank you to tsull & Willy for putting “SPOILER ALERT” in their comments yesterday.
Much as I like reading everyone’s comments, I appreciate the choice of skipping them, to stay in suspense.
Thanks, guys.

There’s a Mausoleum very similar to the one pictured here in a cemetery about an hour from here, when I was a kid, the thing creeped the heck out of me! The resident was one of the richest men in the Niagara Region, Sam Hopkins, businessman, “49er” in the Calif gold rush and the first Reeve of the town of Port Colborne:

First, we find out about the skeletons in the closet. Second, Tracy has Toad tested for steroids. (Big Sammy Sosa fan, that Toad.)

Personally, at that age, I’d have left the ball right where it was….and at this age too, I think :P

With one panel (the last one), the story just got VERY interesting. Something tells me Toad is headed for some serious trouble.

I think so, too. But Toad has Mole watching out for her, so I’m not worried.
