I’ve just run through the Dick Tracy ilovecomix.com archive for 1963-1964.
Holy cow! Now I know where Locher got the idea to go off on weird, unrealistic, action-free tangents.
Five months of this Moon Maid silliness before Chet Gould remembered he was doing a detective strip. Even then the mystery involved a crime committed in 1918. No action, either, unless you count falling from a ladder because an eighty year old killer gave the ladder a push.
Maybe 1964 was a year of experimentation, and Gould forgot to tell his successors some experiments don’t work.
