Chuck Hole was an adversary of Dick Tracy who appeared in a print advertisement for AutoLite Auto Parts. He had thick black hair, heavy-lidded eyes and prominent lips. He also had a hole in the middle of his hair (whether this extended down to his head is unknown).
Chuck Hole was a trafficker in bootleg and counterfeit auto parts whose operation was dismantled by Tracy and Sam Catchem. Tracy was able to deduce which truck in a convoy was Hole's by timing truck speeds between telephone poles. Hole's had the fastest speed due to carrying the lightest load because of the inferior nature of his counterfeit parts. Tracy had Sam stop Chuck Hole truck with a dynamite charge and arrested Chuck Hole.
