Dick Tracy is a comic strip featuring Dick Tracy (originally Plainclothes Tracy), a square-jawed, hard-hitting, fast-shooting, and intelligent police detective. Created by Chester Gould, the strip made its debut on October 4, 1931, in the Detroit Mirror. It was distributed by the Chicago Tribune New York News Syndicate. Gould wrote and drew the strip until 1977.
Although stories often end in gunfights, Tracy uses forensic science, advanced gadgetry, and wits, in an early example of the police procedural mystery story. Stories typically follow a criminal committing a crime and Tracy's relentless pursuit of the criminal. The strip's most popular villain was Flattop Jones, a freelance hitman hired by black marketeers to murder Tracy. When Flattop was killed, fans went into public mourning, and the Flattop Story was reprinted in DC's series of Oversize Comic Reprints in the 1970s. Reflecting film noir, the villains' small crimes led to bigger, out of control situations. Similarly, innocent witnesses were frequently killed, and Tracy's paramour Tess Trueheart was often endangered by the villains. As the story progressed, Tracy adopted an orphan under the name, Dick Tracy Jr., or "Junior" for short, who appeared in investigations until becoming a police forensic artist in his father's precinct, and cultivated a professional partner, the ex-steel worker Pat Patton, who gradually became a detective of skill and courage enough to satisfy Tracy's requirements.

Get the gay dick mug.A dick discount is perk that comes with being a man. It is a societal privilege that benefits people whom society identifies as male. Dick discounts are given to men at an early age. For instance, boys are discouraged from doing housework in households that implement the dick discount program.
Jill told Doug, "Stick to the facts" in the meeting. She is becoming a real bitch. I cannot foresee her going anywhere at this company until she changes her attitude. In this example, Jill doesn't have a dick discount so she will not be qualified for a management role. She should bring treats for the group and smile more often so she doesn't seem like a bitch.

Larry told Doug, "Stick to the facts" in the meeting. He is really assertive. Larry will be a great boss with that quality. In this example, Larry works at a company that takes dick discounts. He will be in a management role in no time.
