One of the most well-known [[Newspaper Comics]] of all time, Dick Tracy, created by Chester Gould, is about the cases of a tough as nails police detective. Inspired as a [[Take That]] towards organized crime in the 1930s (indeed, the strip's first major villain, [[Big Bad|Big Boy Caprice]], was an [[Expy]] of Al Capone) the series followed Detective Dick Tracy as he fights crime, as a modern day [[Sherlock Holmes]] but with a lot of emphasis on forensic methods/police procedures and the occassional space-age gadget (most notably the character's famous two-way wrist communicators).
Line 156:
* [[Worthy Opponent]] - I think Big Boy Caprice admits this much of Tracy at the end of the NES game.
* [[Would Hit a Girl]] - well, Dick would hit a homicidal female as large as himself, anyway.
* [[Write What You Know]] - Current head writer Mike Curtis and technical advisor/"Crimestoppers/Tracy's Hall of Fame" scribe
* [[Writing by the Seat of Your Pants]]: Standard writing style of Chester Gould, although he did write himself into a corner at least once.
