[edit] Summary

Dick Tracy uses his famous 2-Way Wrist Radio in this panel from a 1952 strip. Note the callout indicating its presence on Tracy's wrist; captions such as these, explicitly pointing out something important to the plot, are a signature and often-parodied element of Chester Gould's cartooning style.

Scan taken from Dick Tracy: America's Most Famous Detective (ISBN #0806510595), Citadel Press, 1990.

[edit] Fair Use Rationale

Given the iconic nature of the device being depicted and its connection to the Dick Tracy comic strip, a single panel showing the character using it appears called for. The panel is scanned at a slightly higher resolution than may be considered normal, but this is only done to ensure readability of the callout.

[edit] Licensing

This image is a single panel from a comic strip or the interior of a single issue of a comic book and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher of the comic or the writer(s) and/or artist(s) which produced the comic in question. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of a single panel from a comic strip or an interior page of an individual comic book

to illustrate:
- the scene or storyline depicted, or
- the copyrighted character(s) or group(s) depicted on the excerpted panel in question;
where no free alternative exists or can be created,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use for more information.
