COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The family of cartoonist Chester Gould
has donated a collection of Gould’s original Dick Tracy comic strips
and related materials to a cartoon library and museum in Ohio
Gould
died in 1985. He wrote and drew the Dick Tracy newspaper comic strips
from 1931 until retiring in 1977. His daughter and two grandchildren
gave a collection of his work to the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library &
Museum at Ohio State University.
Ohio State says the collection
consists of more than 850 original Dick Tracy comic strips along with 64
original Sunday strips. Highlights include the original art for the
first 30 days of the strip and Gould’s drawing board on which he created
the comic strip.
The collection will be catalogued and made available to researchers in the coming months.
