   Bob,   
      
   It's been a long time since I've saw Dick Tracy in the Comic pages.   
   One reason is I don't take a newspaper anymore.   
      
   I remember he used a two way wrist TV 35 years ago, Wiki says he got a   
   two way wrist computer in the 1980's.   
      
   Wiki also says the Comic Strip is still published.
