Over the last month, the Dick Tracy comic strip began a story arc involving "Mr. Memory," a cybercriminal who'd previously appeared only in William Dozier's unsold Dick Tracy TV pilot.
Victor Buono played Mr. M in the pilot, and he's unmistakably the model for the character now appearing in the comic. Today's strip features Tracy recalling his first meeting with the villain, and depicts a scene lifted from the pilot.
In case anyone's interested in checking out the arc from the beginning, it started on May 16.
