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.

He’s going to steal…cookies? Yeesh.
-—————————I like the “Ted Tellum, the friendly feller” line, a flashback to radio and TV host Arthur Godfrey, “the old redhead” who portrayed himself as a model of homespun humor and modesty – when he was really a nasty s.o.b. who fired one singer on the air during a live broadcast.

I would say he was more likely modelled on the cowboy comedian Will Rogers

I’m wondering what will happen to Crypto when Tracy catches up with and presumably arrests his master.

The Jumble/Jumbler seems more like a Bill Finger-Batman Villian and Less of a Chester Gould-Dick Tracy Villian

Agreed… he’s kind of silly, actually

It looks like Ted Tellum is out of rehab and doing TV reporting instead of radio talk shows. I hope that if The Jumbler leaves any dead bodies in a van in his parking space, he’ll inform Tracy of it this time. (grin)

This is probably going to get good, but for now I fill like we’re wasting bullets.

I was wondering the same thing. Think Toad needs a dog? Liz or Lee? We’ll see.
