Blackjack used those exact words, “America’s Top Cop,” when he explained his infatuation with Dick Tracy back in 2012: https://www.gocomics.com/dicktracy/2012/03/24
Back then, his ultimate wish was to meet Dick Tracy in person. When he went to jail the last time, Tracy promised to take care of Blackjack’s extensive collection of Tracy memorabilia. I wonder what Blackjack thinks of Tracy now that his collection has been stolen.
The Gould Library (named after the founder of this strip, of course) is hosting an exhibit about Dick Tracy that is not unlike the Superman exhibit that the Cleveland Public Library put on after Mike Curtis donated his collection of about 17,000 Superman items. Here is the library’s page about that exhibit:

A few of the items and some commentary about some of the more unusual ones are here:
Good morning™, everybody!
