Dick Tracy moves into the digital age with this week’s strip introducing cybercriminal “Cellphone” and his gang – “Broadband,” “Burner,” “CD,” “Digit,” “Download,” “Handheld” and this lucious “Miss Laptop.”
Even though it looks like Dick has his work cut out for him, don’t worry whether the old guy can keep up. As the comic’s promo copy states:
“Although many remember him with fond nostalgia, Dick Tracy continues to be relevant as he combines old-fashioned values with 21st century innovation to capture corporate crooks, computer pirates, polluters, skyjackers, gang members and terrorists.”
Maybe so, but that doesn’t mean he’s not boring as all get out. We’ll take Andy Capp instead.
