Soaky

 

Lon Chaney, Jr. as Pruneface: The pilot was made and this was from episode 2 of the Greenway Productions proposed series

I love big Ideal toy cars of the 1960s! This is the same size as Captain Action's Silver Streak and the Beverly Hillbillies truck 🚔 #idealtoys #wednesdayvibes #Dicktracy #copmobile

 

 

Over 2 feet long!   6-2 and even! Over and out Joe Jitsu!

  

The brand new Soaky toys!

TOYS & CARTOONS Facebook Live Part 1 06-02-2019

I am ahead of schedule, so am bumping up my Toys & Cartoons Facebook live to 9 pm Central! I will talk about Greenway Productions' Dick Tracy and my late friend Earle Hagen and his theme for The Andy Griffith show, plus my Dick Locher Ronald McDonald painting 🎨 #collectibles #toys #cartoons #dicktracy #andygriffith #mcdonalds — at Superdawg Wheeling.

I am thinking of doing a facebook live with a little history on a rare Dick Tracy item I have and the story behind it at 9:30 pm Sunday night!

Dick Tracy

I love restoring old toys and packaging! 😃

Dick Tracy by Dick Locher

Dick Locher to end his 32 year run on DICK TRACY

On March 14th, the DICK TRACY comic strip will have a new team working on it. Dick Locher has decided to move on and do some other things BUT will continue doing editorial cartoons.

Dick and I talked about his McDonald's paintings. I have an alternate version of the painting above that he painted the boy on the left as a white boy. He said Ray Kroc wanted to get Norman Rockwell to do the paintings and somehow found his way to him.

Dick's TRACY work will be missed. My parents recall a dinner he attended with them for a police function some years back.

DICK LOCHER

My friend DICK LOCHER (Dick Tracy, Chicago Tribune Editorial cartoonist) was in the newspaper today. He designed a nine foot statue that will be dedicated October 4th, 2009 in Naperville (Where Locher resides). He assisted Chester Gould with the DICK TRACY comic strip from 1957 to 1961 and returned as the sole cartoonist in 1983. Gould was from Woodstock, IL.
