Chester Gould retired at the end of 1977, and the strip was carried on by imitators. I have not been following it because the Daily News no longer carries it.In fact,their comics section has,for the most part, gone way down hill.

The stories have been rather out in left field, lately. Flattop reincarnated himself in a relative's body, the villain Puttypuss is a shapechanger (can look like any man he wished), Haf-and-Haf is a copy of Two-Face,even to the plastic surgery to make him normal again and its coming undone, and, finally, lapses in continuity (Mumbles growing old and then dying, only to show up later ,young and still up to trouble...)

Wow I had no idea it was still being printed. My only real contact with the comics anymore is a couple of printed paperback collections from the old days.

Well, the complete strip is being reprinted in book form by Bud Plant, which has a website. This replaced their paper catalogs. I consider it canon only up to the end of 1977 when Chester Gould retired. By then, he had gotten creaky in ideas, etc.

They should bring him back... Only he's probably not politically correct anymore.
