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.

You just get the feeling that the Chief “gets it” and feels Junior’s pain. We already know Tracy does. We do too. Good to have this ball rollin’ again.

Yep, we’re just checking in so the readers who don’t read the comments (or actually get this in newspapers!) will know the subplot hasn’t been forgotten.

With all the hope that MM will bring an interesting story (not to mention that she is so hot) I hope there is not a big letdown or disappointment.
