Morrow, That’s not Dick Locher in the 3rd panel. Dick is balding in front now, suggested by photos from 10 years ago and he never had a “bebop” hair do. Unless he is “playing” Rughead these days ! Frankly,’New’Junior seems like an “intruder”. Present before Dick’s real children who live in the house? Does this imply DL regards him higher? Sorry distastefull nepotism. Think about it, more creative time to conceal the yellow rubber ducky every Sunday than replacing Dick Tracy’s hat. It seems like a persoal fiefdom, one where when he talks we bleeep dogs better NOT bark !
I agree there is a paucity of originality in modern day Dick Tracy and “art” by him of the Batmobile and Batman has appeared in the DT Magazine. Suggesting a close interest.
Readers would think this would have been a wonderful time to have re-introduced Gould’s ‘Perfume’ Plenty, but that won’t happen. The artist doesn’t seem to think ahead, the procees of “today” only begins when he sits in front of the drawing board. Now I know some will immediatly leap up to ‘defend’. How do you know Sydney? The retort to them asks if they have evidence to the contrary. It doesnt look so. When Jeff made a comment about Diet helping to clean up HQ his reply was you’ll have to wait and see. WHY? at that time Locher himself probably didn’t have a ‘clue’. He hadn’t ‘thought’ that far ahead! He’s a seat-of the pants author.
Incidentall, this is not the first character named Noll in the strip. There was a Nurse Noll who assisted a Gang Docter in the amputation of Mimi’s hand back in 1936. See Vol 4, years 1936/1938 of ‘The Complete Dick Tracy’ by IDW Publishing in two strips on the first page. doubt that there is any connection. It’s from among the very few ides that Locher may have picked up from Gould eg. “Don’t look back it may flavor your current work. Unless he has been reading the Dick Tracy reprints and the name stuck in repressed, memory, happily coming out now as brilliantly created by Locher! And he’ll taking bows at the recognition. But he blew a gasket at the oportunity on the 75th Tracy Anniversary. The cry then wss bring back Pouch (high recognition value) to play a part with a truly “memorable” creation by him for the occasion . But HE who knows ALL compared to the rabble of readers who like hid Lt’ Teevo after 2 years on the “Pod” knows “heavy” heat, no sharper than the point of a lead pencil or cutting edge of papar. Some at the Yahoo board had started suggesting including attracters characters from the past, Flyface and “Pouch” were anomng the favorites from the past suggested to Kilian. Kilian died in late 2006 although his byline ran into early February of 2008.
We all remember how DL “Botched” it with a poor villain with an immpossible “thought” reading machine. It was a dull story with 75% of it carried out in the same room. Neven him will remember it as an important marker in his art lif. It’s on his “forget-this list’
This is gettig long I’d like to come back and share some ides on things to look out for with “Vinc” and “Dypak”. They could help in setting bown “markers” ” to judge tto judge the likely qualities of the story to get a good or bad feeling about it. “Incrimental” daily forward movenent is NOT always a ‘reliable’ indicator. Frankly, I strongly doubt that he reads this board. He once inquired but only wanted to be a a’reader’, reluctant to speak with the plebians.
I’m told he is a really pleasant fellow to talk but I’m not here representing Dale Cargenie to win frieds. My greater interest is to assist in halting the breakdowm of a once great comic ‘strip’.He already knows the course he intends to take. It’s called a relaxed e”cruise” by the TMS rules, no rocking of the boat and nothing will really change until he slips into retirement in about 2 years time. But I’m determined to keep on knocking on doors!! Perhaps one day a door will open.
I’m not here to continue whitnessing the ‘breaking’ down of the house that Chester built, I’m here to fight to ‘restore’ it !
