(Chicago Trib., 1961) A hand puppet of Joe Jitsu, the police officer and memorable sidekick of Dick Tracy from the similarly titled animated series. In more recent years, Jitsu has been edited out of some of the reruns of the program, due to the character's Japanese stereotypes and catchphrases including "So solly!" and "Excuse, prease!" while grappling with criminals. The hand puppet is composed of a painted fabric body and a soft vinyl head. Measuring 11" tall, the puppet is in very good condition with minor surface wear.
