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, VB!
I guess we should expect bones to be in a tomb, but there is something sinister about this upright skeleton…
Flight Suit said, 4 months ago
I’m guessing those bones belong to a corpse which was hidden there, as opposed to the tomb’s resident of record.

Good morning, VistaBill, BillThompson, margueritem, and Flight Suit.
Shouldn’t take long for Tracy to be all over this.

She will probably tell Mole what happened and he will pass it along to Tracy.

Toad seems to be extremely well-dressed for someone supposedly living in poverty… when I was a kid, I would have loved to have clothes that nice, instead of the Sally-Ann specials! (Sally-Ann: Canadian slang for Salvation Army store)

Our schools have “give away” programs for those who need it. Coats, sweaters, and school supplies at no charge. I personally shop at Value Village, a second hand chain. Often times one can find great stuff that still has the new tag on it, for prices even an old retired guy can afford.

“Darn it Jim, I’m a doctor, not a detective!” Nice one BT, especially considering who our current “guest star” is.

Toad will report to Mr.Mole. Mole will inform Tracy. The MCU will investigate. The cold case will warm up. Meanwhile, how’s old Sweatbox doing on his stationary bike?

It was the logical thing to say. Now can we get Lt. Tivo to wear a red shirt?

“Toad seems to be extremely well-dressed for someone supposedly living in poverty”
*****************
She’s wearing a simple lightweight jacket, jeans, and white sneakers that are timeless in style. I frequent the SA and American Rescue Worker thrift stores and those clothes could easily be found there. They don’t sell dirty, ragged clothing and with kids Toad’s age clothing is frequently outgrown before it shows any signs of wear and tear.
