Early life and careerLocher was born in Dubuque, Iowa. After high school, he began studying art at the University of Iowa and the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. While in Chicago, he became an assistant to Rick Yager, who was drawing Buck Rogers at the time. However, he left the job after few months to enlist in the Air Force, where he became a test pilot. While at the Air Force, he began freelancing for the Stars and Stripes. In 1957, he began assisting Chester Gould on Dick Tracy,[1] where he inked the figures and colored the Sunday strips. He also contributed to a story that was cited in Gould's 1959 Reuben award. He left the strip in 1961 to work on other areas, including starting an advertising company, where he worked on designing some of McDonald's characters. Locher kept in touch with Chester Gould even after leaving the strip. In 1973, an editorial cartoonist position at Chicago Tribune opened up and Gould recommended Locher to take the position. Despite having no experience in editorial cartooning, the Tribune hired Locher. Locher retired May 1, 2013.[2] Locher, working with his son John,[3] returned to work on Dick Tracy in 1983,[1] when its previous cartoonist, Rick Fletcher, died. That same year, he won the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning.[4] In 2009 Jim Brozman took over the drawing of Dick Tracy; however Locher continued to write the storylines and contributed sketches.[5] In 2011, Locher retired from Dick Tracy and handed the reins to the new creative team of Mike Curtis and Joe Staton. Locher's last Dick Tracy strip was published Sunday, March 13, 2011. In 2006, Locher was inducted into the Oklahoma Cartoonists Hall of Fame in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma by Michael Vance. The Oklahoma Cartoonists Collection, created by Vance, is located in the Toy and Action Figure Museum.[6] In 2013, Locher helped design and make a 9.5-foot bronze statue of Naperville's founding father Capt. Joseph Naper.[7] Personal lifeLocher lived in Naperville, Illinois[1] with his wife Mary at the time of his passing. Locher had three children: Stephen, who lives in the Chicago area; John, who died in 1986; and Jana, who lives in Colorado. The new Land of Lincoln Trophy designed by Dick Locher goes to the winner of the Northwestern-Illinois college football game.[8] Locher died on August 6, 2017 in Naperville, Illinois, aged 88.[9] References1. ^1 2 {{cite news|url=http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2010-04-05/news/ct-x-w-0407-dick-tracy-statue-20100403_1_naperville-lawyer-naperville-city-council-dick-tracy|title=Dick Tracy sculpture to keep an eye on Naperville Riverwalk|date=April 5, 2010|publisher=Chicago Tribune|accessdate=April 8, 2010 | first=Bob | last=Goldsborough}} {{S-start}}{{Succession box|before=Rick Fletcher|title=Dick Tracy artist|years=1983-2009|after=Himself (pencils) and Jim Brozman (inks)}}{{Succession box|before=Himself|title=Dick Tracy artist (pencils, with Jim Brozman inking)|years=2009-2011|after=Joe Staton}}{{Succession box|before=Mike Kilian|title=Dick Tracy writer|years=2005-2011|after=Mike Curtis}}{{S-end}}{{Tribune Company}}{{PulitzerPrize EditorialCartooning 1976–2000}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Locher, Dick}}2. ^{{cite book|last=Locher Evans|first=Jana}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=01IiAAAAIBAJ&sjid=7aYFAAAAIBAJ&pg=3705,649573&dq=dick-locher&hl=en|title=John Locher dies; drew Dick Tracy .|date=May 21, 1986|publisher=Reading Eagle|accessdate=8 April 2010}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/musicnightlife/2004165210_aebriefs06.html |title=Pulitzer cartoonists go Mad for march |date=February 6, 2008 |publisher=Seattle Times |accessdate=April 8, 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110622080435/http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/musicnightlife/2004165210_aebriefs06.html |archivedate=June 22, 2011 |df= }} 5. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=324733|title=Naperville to honor 'Dick Tracy' cartoonist|date=September 29, 2009|publisher=Daily Herald|accessdate=April 29, 2010}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.comicbookbin.com/news979.html|title=Toy and Action Figure Museum Event|date=October 6, 2006|publisher=comicbookbin.com|accessdate=November 22, 2010}} 7. ^http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-08-23/news/ct-tl-naperville-founder-statue-dedicated-20130823_1_joseph-naper-statue-founder 8. ^Land of Lincoln Trophy 9. ^Dick Locher, Pulitzer Prize-winning Tribune cartoonist, dies at 88 5 : 1929 births|2017 deaths|American editorial cartoonists|Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning winners|Dick Tracy |
