Happy 111th Birthday to DICK TRACY creator and artist, CHESTER GOULD!

After 32 years, artist and writer DICK LOCHER is retiring from the DICK TRACY newspaper strip. The strip is being taken over by artist JOE STATON and writer MIKE CURTIS. Their first strip will appear on March 14th. I've been a fan of DICK LOCHER's work for years! I have enjoyed his editorial cartoons that appeared in the Chicago Tribune and, of course, his work on DICK TRACY! I attended a terrific lecture that LOCHER gave at Columbia College Chicago when I was going to school there back in 1988. Congratulations to JOE STATON and MIKE CURTIS! I've always enjoyed STATON's work. I will miss the work of DICK LOCHER, though! DICK TRACY was created by CHESTER GOULD. You can read more HERE!

DICK TRACY WGN RADIO ADVERTISEMENT!

I love this 1967 advertisement for WGN Radio's WALLY PHILLIPS. The ad features terrific DICK TRACY art by creator CHESTER GOULD! PHILLIPS did the morning show on Chicago's WGN Radio for many years.

DICK TRACY

Love these DICK TRACY comic book covers from Harvey! Above is issue 109 from 1957, and below is issue 112, also from 1957. Did CHESTER GOULD actually illustrate these covers, or did a ghost artist?
