Dick Tyler Gossip Roundup
Laree here...By reading Dick Tyler's gossip ramblings, those of us who came late to the muscle game -- and by late I mean anytime after about '75, definitely after 1980 -- can get a feeling of how it must have been in the late '66s, waiting for the monthly muscle mag to make its way from the West Coast.
His clever conversational style drew readers in and made them feel a part of the Venice scene; many of you reading now can recapture the memory of your eagerness to see what's happened since the last issue -- so excited you had to read the Roundup on the way up the drive from the post box.
To share the memory of Dick's tales of Dave and Artie and the gang, here are our first installments of our new Dick Tyler Archive. Enjoy the sense of camaraderie created by Dick, today a chiropractor in Sacramento, California.
