Talk:List of recurring characters in Dick Tracy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Dick Tracy - Villans etc

On the matter of villans,There is no mention as at this date, June 17, 2006, of Ivy, a thug whose trademark in frequent appearances, was that he mostly said ..." I'm Ivy. Boola Boola" or was in the background saying " Boola Boola ", in the comic strips circa 1952-56.

Also, with Cellular Phones now having video capabilities, we are approaching Diet Smith's most visionary ( and useful to Dick and the police ) device, the 2-way wrist radio which had video capabilities... 50 years more or less from their becoming common as Cellphones. Maybe there are wrist ones also?

[edit] Missing recurring character in comic strip Dick Tracy, NY Daily News: "Little Wingy"

I could be wrong, but my memory insists that I used to see a character in the Dick Tracy comic strip in the NY Daily News by the name of "Little Wingy". She was a young girl, somewhere between the ages of 10-15, with waist-length blonde hair which flared out to the sides and looked a little like wings. If anyone knows about this character or knows that I am mistaken, I would be happy to have that information, either way. Thanks. Probable dates of "Little Wingy's" appearances would be: 1945-1960.

[edit] Characters from late 1960s/early 1970s

Does anyone remember a character who had a face that was all wrinkled, and his neck was so wrinkled, he was able to enclose a copy of Tolstoy's WAR & PIECE in it (the neck skin had buttons making a sort of pouch). He had a daughter or granddaughter who had a face similar to his -- almost like the Mole -- but without wrinkles, who killed herself with a hand-grenade rather than be captured by Tracy.
