The Complete Chester Gould’s Dick Tracy Volume 22: 1964-1965: Book Review


Started: March 10, 2026





Unfortunately, these videos are not very good.  I got a bit tongue tied on the first one, and on the second video, I felt too tired to do much explaining.  Once again, I blame this on filming right before bed.  I think my brain was tired.
But, you know, these days, with working full time, and taking care of the kids, often the only time I have to film videos is right before bed.  What are you going to do?

I was able to read this book thanks to the Michigan statewide state-wide interlibrary loan service called MeLCat, which may be in danger thanks to a Presidential executive order.  If you, like me, enjoy using MeLCat, contact your local representatives and let them know.

I got cut off right at the end because my camera automatically shuts down after 30 minutes.  But I had said most of what I wanted to say.

In my review of Volume 15, I noted that halfway through that volume, the source for the daily strips changed, which resulted in reproductions of the artworrk that looked a lot more murky, and a lot less clear and sharp.  Unfortunately, Volume 16 appears to use the same source for the daily strips.  I was going to make a point of commenting about this on the video, but I completely forgot.


Here is the comment from Bucky749, in which he told me "Look for ones with mumbles he was the closest dick Tracy had to the joker as Chester gold brought him back multiple times": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNIiK2H_ggs&lc=UgytQz1dyX16f6-fxb94AaABAg
