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.

Stranger danger! Stranger danger!

Now I am concerned.

Things are about to blow up. Mole vs Sweaty — I’m curious who would win that fight. We may find out from the looks of it.

I knew he was up to no good.

Let me clarify my first comment. True, I am concerned for Toad’s safety.
However, upon further reflection, I am still not 100% sure whether Simon is good or evil.

Mole is inhumanly strong, although, he may have softened up since his criminal days

Of course, no matter how strong Mole is, if the kid gets in the car, he can’t possibly catch up; he was never much of a runner to begin with

I’m not liking this at all. Anything could happen. There might even be someone laying down in the back seat to grab Toad. I don’t think we’re going to see a Mole vs. Sweatbox right now, but later…..

OK, I’m going to have to revise my previous day’s assessment of the situation…obviously, Mr. Baux is up to no good! If he was innocent of motive, the packets would have come out the front window with the flyer.

A standard comment in almost every B-western is, “I got a bad feeling about this”…….. this isn’t any different!

A brief, shining moment of hope he might not be that creepy and then…oh, crap.
If it comes to a hoedown, all my money is on Mole.

RIP Rick Huxley, gone at age 72. Thanks for helping us to feel “Glad All Over.”

Yup. “I got a bad feeling about this” does cover the situation. Simon says, take a packet from the back seat. Sisyphos says, run, Toad, run! Mr. Mole says…. No; Mr Mole does.
Mr. Mole will save the day (and Toad)!
