Chester Gould
 
Author of well-known comic strip Dick Tracy attended Northwestern's University College during the early 1920s, studying with Leonarde Keeler (co-developer of the modern lie detector). Though the strip later became famous, it reportedly took Gould 10 years and 61 attempts to sell it... The eventual publisher was the Chicago Tribune's Joseph Medill Patterson.
