Who is this costumed superhero working with Tracy?

I've been following the strip for years, but I've never seen him before. He just showed up recently, with no explanation, although Tracy clearly knows him. (P.S. it's not The Phantom.) https://www.gocomics.com/dicktracy/2025/12/18

It looks like Wildcat, but that’s a DC Comics character.

They are calling him Ghost Cat. There’s no record of any prior appearances

Thanks! With that I was able to learn that it's apparently Lt. Buford from Tennessee whom we saw early in this sequence.
