Hey! You got your JUMBLE in my DICK TRACY! You got your DICK TRACY in my JUMBLE!

Here's a rarity: a newspaper syndicated feature crossover between a comic strip and a puzzle. Current DICK TRACY writer and illustrator Mike Davis and Joe Staton have DICK TRACY encounter the real-life team that produce the daily JUMBLE puzzle, Mike Argirion Hoyt (puzzles) and Jeff Knurek (pictures).

Likewise, the JUMBLE has guest appearances by Flat-Top and Sam Catchem
