    Nobody ever gets very far when they try to mock a Dick.

    Sorry Teresa, but itā€™s time for Dick Locher to retire. Or is there a layer of irony here Iā€™ve missed?

    pschearer: Watch out, irony iceberg ahead! There is no cheerleading in todayā€™s FA. And margueritemā€™s rightā€¦ sheā€™s Mean Lady. Mean, mean, mean.

    For some reason, this makes me think of a certain infamous YouTube video ā€“ you know, the ā€œLEAVE BRITTANY SPEARS ALONE!ā€ one. Iā€™d link to it, but the comments are not family friendlyā€¦

    I never imagined in my wildest dreams that by supporting my friend, Dick Locher, I would be mocked in a daily comic strip. What IS this world coming to?

    Is that the same pin that Jeff Kersten wears when he defends Dick Locher? If you are reading, Jeff, please let us know.

    Ms. D must have been suffering from serious writerā€™s block the day she came up with this zinger!

    So, Jeff, you still didnā€™t confirm or deny wearning the pinā€¦.

    So you will sleep comfortably tonight ā€“ YES, I not only wear it when I post here, but I actually designed this button!

    DL has been a great friend of mine for more than 1/2 of my life (Iā€™m 33). He helped me get through Poli Sci class at Loyola and heā€™s invited me to work with him on some his own projects. Despite this mockery above, Iā€™m not at all ashamed to support him personally & his lifetime of work, as his friend.

    Apparently, Iā€™m naive and foolish for this, according to the readers of DT on this site, the DT Yahoo! Group and Ms. Dowlatshahi. Iā€™ll just go back to focusing on the positive projects Iā€™m working on for the Chester Gould - Dick Tracy Museum and remain in the shadows from now on.

    You all can sleep well tonight knowing that youā€™ve WON ā€“ you succeeded in stifling me, DLā€™s LONE champion here. Great job!

    One of my favorite songs is, ā€œOn the Excrete Where You Liveā€. Lovely tune.

    Jeff, did you pay for that haircut or did you head over to the Barber College at lunch?

    BTW, nice blouse.

    Teresa, that was very kind of you to extend that offer to Jeff Kersten. I donā€™t think that you even knew who he was when you posted the cartoon.

    Margueritem, I agree - maybe Teresa thinks the DT stip posters heckle Locher too much, for all we know. It was cool of her to give JK that offer. I think it is all in fun and I would miss the DT strip immensely if Locher quit drawing it.

    Jeff, thanks for letting me know about the pin, haha. I think it is cool that you and Locher go way back. Any plans to open the museum again? I never got to visit. =(

    Teresa-

    Iā€™ve considered your offer and I will take you up on it. I promise not to disappoint! Please advise how to proceed.

    Thank you!
