She created the strip using a continuous Dick Tracy daily strip created by Chester Gould of Woodstock from 1948 to 1952, scanned the strip from a book of his strips, enlarged them, printed them into at least 5-by-7-inch sections that are each 5 inches tall and taped butcher block paper behind them.
