In sad news for fans of gumshoe Dick Tracy, created by Oklahoma’s Chester Gould, the Dick Tracy Museum of Woodstock, Ill., is slated to close.
The Chicago Tribune reports the Gould estate could no longer fund the museum, which opened in 1991, and it will close in June. Family members plan to make an internet site highlighting some of Gould’s letters and strips as a more accessible replacement.
