[edit] Cartoon Series Airings
The article says that the original cartoon series "was pulled from syndication in the mid-70's, and was not seen for years afterwards because of its slightly racist undertones and use of ethnic stereotypes and accents, but it resurfaced in 2006 on pay-per-view digital cable channels and DVD."
I know this is not entirely true as I definately remember seeing episodes of it on television in the late 80's/early 90's around the time when the movie came out, presumably to play off the popularity of the movie. I know it couldn't have been earlier than that because I was born in 1984. It also might have only been one local station instead of a national thing. But I can't find anything to back up these claims.

[edit] Vera Alldid
Does the article need to include the story arc involving the cartoonist "Vera Alldid"? This was an ongoing story for several years, and the source of a strip-within-a-strip?

[edit] Young Ms. Plenty
Wasn't she, in fact, "Sparkles" rather than "Sparkle"? Admittedly, A) we're going back over 40 years here and B) almost no one cares, but, hey, let's try to get it right. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, sorry. But I remember her as "Sparkles".

Sorry to break it to you . . . but the character was, in fact, named "Sparkle."
[edit] Signficance of Collins' Dick Tracy going private story
I know Collins wrote a early story where Dick Tracy temporarily resigned from the police force and became a private detective.
Does anyone know if that stoy was intended to be Collins' way of making Tracy believably stop continually grousing about police procedure restrictions to the point of damaging story pacing as in him deciding he can deal with the hassle after all?
I'm asking because it could bookend with the writer's decision to kill off Moon Maid as another way of repairing the strip's premise.

[edit] MS-DOS game
How come the MS-DOS game by Titus entertainment isn't mentioned ? That game was a masterpiece ahead of its time —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.32.166.183 (talk) 23:35, 27 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] no spoiler for the 1990 movie?
This is an encyclopedia, right? Hint hint - no-face has a face ;/
