Puzzle Description:

All part of a day's work for Dick Tracy

I had to rework the facial features more than once... nice challenge and a cool image! Thanks for the fun.

The face turned out to be the hardest part because I couldn't float any of the features. To make the puzzle solvable, I really had to make several compromises and play around with it quite a bit so it ended up looking a little less Dick Tracy than I would have liked.

Great job. I completely understand the dilemma, Scott. That happens to me nearly every puzzle I create.

true for me too.
Even with all your reworking of the face, I knew exactly who it was while I was solving the image.
excellent job.

Bravo! This was challenging and fun. I got stuck and couldn't figure out what to do. Then I realized I had made a mistake, and it took me awhile to find it. One little wayward pixel had to be put in its proper place, then it solved nicely. Thanks for working to make it solvable!

That was a great challenge. I misplaced a couple of pixels more than once, but after going back and straightening out my work, I was able to do it.

I knew who it was as soon as I got to that nose and jaw. And I love the work on the hat! :)

Nice image. The shading gave the graphic much more punch. I enjoyed solving it. Thanks.

That flying trash can he used to ride around in never looked that aerodynamic to me, but at that age, I did admire his two way wrist radio.
