I'm busy with too many things, so Dick Tracy is the only strip I read regularly these days.

    I’m sticking with “unnamed officer.” You can do as you see fit.

    Maybe he was being blackmailed or something.

    The unnamed woman officer first approached Tracy with “Thank you for seeing me,” so it doesn’t seem like she’s part of his regular MCU crew.

    This sounds like a good guess.

    As I was saying yesterday, I’m guessing he was the C.E.O. Maybe he was also the founder, by the sounds of today’s strip.

    I believe that Mike has known Eric for years and they’ve probably worked together (I don’t remember details.)

    I found this biography: “E.O. Costello is a New York-based attorney, whose love of history has led him to study, in depth, the cartoons of the 1940s and the historical and pop-culture references contained in them. He has written for Animato!, APAtoons, and was the creator of The Warner Bros. Cartoon Companion.”

    Eric, often credited as “E.O. Costello” has certainly written stories with anthropomorphic characters, as Mike also has.

    We’re probably going to get days of talk anyway. We’ve already had feet in the last story, so maybe not all heads.

  7. about 5 hours ago on Dick Tracy

    I can’t remember any specific examples of a trans character, so maybe not. There have been a few gay and lesbian characters, though.

  8. about 5 hours ago on Dick Tracy

    What I was trying to say was that we learned very little that was new in today’s strip. I guess that’s pretty common on a Monday, though.

    He definitely had a mustache. His nose had a similar shape to Tracy’s and they both have thick necks, but he doesn’t have any other resemblance to Tracy. It’s always hard (for me, at least) to make characters not resemble each other.

    Good morning™, everyone!

    “His bank” makes it sound like he was the head boss, and maybe he was. He certainly had a big office.
