  • Charlie and Joe Gass were part of Pear-Shape's criminal organization. Joe had light hair, and Charlie had dark hair and smoked cigars. The brothers had been involved with Pear-Shape's theft of jewels from Mary Waldo, as well as his selling them to an unnamed fence. A year later, the men tried to burgle the now-deceased fence's house to find the hidden jewels. The first attempt resulted in Pear-Shape being bitten by Mugg the dog on his posterior. On the second attempt, the men brought army surplus gas masks and knock-out gas which they attempted to use on Mugg, but the gas only made the dog's eyes water instead of rendering him unconscious. Mugg attacked the intruders and knocked their flashlights out of their hands. One of the Gass brothers had problems seeing out of his mask. He was bitten badly by Mugg and then knocked out with one blow by Dick Tracy. Pear-Shape escaped but couldn't drive the getaway car because the brothers still had the car keys. Joe and Charlie Gass were arrested for burglary.
