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 believe our man Sweatbox suffers from severe hyperhidrosis. No, I’m not a doctor but I played one on t.v.

Put the screws to him, Lee! Make him sweat (even more than usually)! Something’s not right here, with Sweatbox, Stephen, the Baux family vault, the Cold Case murder, and Tawara’s tale all to sort out. Puzzle pieces, waiting to be put together correctly….

Is he shocked that his brother’s vault has been disturbed or that someone has discovered that there’s more in there than his brother. I suspect the latter.

Appears anyone with a baseball can gain access to the vault

That stuff actually makes you more thirsty.
The sodium in it, I reckon.

He sure changes the subject fast, to something safe like softball.

tsull, here in the Central Time Zone the strip generally shows up at midnight – exactly. Posters who are #1 or #2 hover over that time slot with their finger on the refresh button. To do all that, and then start complaining, is indicative of a serious problem. I think your admonition falls on deaf ears, but you are right on.

I have become bored with several cartoons after a while. I just don’t read them anymore and have dropped them from MY Comics page. Since SDM hasn’t done that, I suspect it is a case of secretly liking the strip but just can’t admit it. Something psychological going on here.

“Are the two white bars in his mouth false teeth”

I was wondering about the conflicting images of wrinkled, in-turning lips caused by toothlessness and the apparent full set of teeth visible in Sweat’s mouth.
