Who remembers the whole "moon" segment of Dick Tracy with the Moon Maid...(she married Junior Tracy)......Tracy and partner Sam Catchem travelled to the moon in what looked like a garbage can......great times. |

Chester Gould was going a little nutzoid when he came up with that one. I can remember people visiting the far side of the moon in Diet Smith's reverse magnetism mobile. Then they ate giant escargot. Moon Maid and all the rest was a little much for most folks so they killed her off and old Chester eventually got a co-writer. His "Crimestopper's Textbook" was pretty laughable by the seventies. |

I remember Sparkle Planty. The weirdest strip was Smoky Stover, the fireman. I could never forget the drawing of someone at the butcher shop saying: "I'm looking over a four loaf cleaver." Nuts! The policeman strip "Potsy" also had some famous connection to the artist but I forget what it was. |

Close Marty, but no cigar. "Clifford Irving grew up in New York City, the son of Dorothy and Jay Irving, a magazine cover artist and the creator of the syndicated comic strip Pottsy, about a New York policeman." |
