“Bumbles,” the nickname given to a former Heap crime boss who runs the Honeybee Diner in the territory of Doctor Prune, suffers from swarms of brain fog that prevent him from making himself understood. He worked for the Golden Lion during the crime siege and so was the target of the rival gangs, who wanted to know of his boss’s location. He was arrested by Dog Tracy and put in the Lock-Up within Tracy’s station for interrogation, but before long the Lock-Up was broken into by Pips Mooless’s Moo Crew, who took Bumbles to their base the Moo Cafe so they could make him spill the Golden Lion’s location. Tessa Truehart AKA The Shadoe retrieved Bumbles from the Cafe and left him within her lab, where she would use her Mind Talisman to project the Wizard into Bumbles’s mind so that they could clear out the static and find information on the Golden Lion. There, the Wizard photomanced a thought of the Golden Lion reestablishing his dominance of the Heap by defeating Dog Tracy. Truehart took this as indication that Bumbles had sent Dog Tracy into a trap and locked Bumbles back up.
Mumbles is an antagonist in the Dick Tracy comic strip, the movie, the 1960s cartoon, and the Archie’s TV Funnies Dick Tracy segments. In the film, he is portrayed by Dustin Hoffman. In the 1960s cartoon, he was voiced by the late June Foray. Mumbles (real name unrevealed) was a light haired man who typically had a heavy eye-lidded expression. He did not have a speech impediment, merely sloppy speech habits. He was extremely greedy and treacherous.
In the comic strip, Mumbles is one of Dick Tracy’s most recurring villains. He originally appears as a thief that is a member of the Mumbles Quartet band but ends up apparently drowning at sea. It is later shown that he was rescued by George Ozone and worked in his employ. Mumbles conspires with Ozone’s ex-wife to murder him and dig up the buried treasure that’s map is tattooed on his son’s feet. Mumbles is shown drowning again and his body is recovered by the police.
Mumble’s “clone” is shown to Tracy by Dr. Zy Ghote. It was revealed that he had survived his apparent drowning in 1955 by using yoga breathing techniques that he had learned from Ozone to slow his heart rate and respiration, creating the appearance of death. Mumbles had later bribed the coroner to falsify the death certificate and made his escape, and he was hired by Ghote to pose as his clone. Mumbles was arrested for attempted murder.
