I have identified the villains in the graphic above thatDick Tracy encountered during his career as a comic strip detective.
Capp Stubbs, Smokey Stover, Prince Valiant, Smilin' Jack, and of course, Dick Tracy! The above was pasted in one of my "Nostalgia" scrapbooks, and also appeared in a "The Way We Were" column which I wrote many years ago for the late, great, Mercer Messenger. A year of so ago, on this website, I started a list of noted eateries, restaurants, hot dog stands and other long forgotten vestiges of our past. I was one of 2 other guys who was interviewed on WBCB (1490 A.M.) and we had a lively discussion remembering those great old eating places.
The list still has additional entries being added.
Let's add to my list of comics from the past. I have given you a few long-lost comics in the intro above. How many do you remember that I aren't listed? Go to the "Comments" section below and add those that you remember. (To get you started: "Henry," "Steve Canyon," c'mon, rake over that gray matter and add to the list! I'm so old I remember Milton Caniff, Russ Westover, and Ham Fisher!
I think Picker Puss was a bad guy

Tom, the brain remembers a group of young kids, the comic was called Tiger. There was Blondie and Joe Palooka also, it's getting tougher to remember anymore.
