I just realized no one has mentioned DICK TRACY! I followed him for years, till he got silly and found people on the moon.

Agree with Dick Tracy. I can't stand "serial" comics". But when I read the Dick Tracy compilations, wowza. Those stories just pop and crackle with excitement.

Chester Gould was a genius.

He would get Tracy into some impossible jam, then figure out how to extricate him.

He claims to never have an ending "in mind", but lets the stories unfold.
