Tracy has a command-ing presence but will Robotool follow orders or go down in flames in a desperate last attempt to get away ? His stooges will give themselves up as the heat intensifies.
Roboto’s outfit has 100% coverage so he could send anyone out in it as a decoy as part of an escape. Would the “polite” clerk play along and do it willingly or would her mouth need to be duct taped? Check out the news room hostage scene in “V for Vendetta” to see an extreme example of how this could work (minus the explicit violence, of course.)
Very dynamic panel with nice colors. I’m guessing Tracy had a list of payroll servicing locations staked out. That’s what Roboto gets for not changing his M.O. Sorta liking Mr. R. so I’m halfway rooting for him to get away.
“Gee, detective. Why should I do what you say, when I’ve got so many hostages in here? Don’t cha watch any crime flicks, detective? Now bring me ten million dollars in cash and a helicopter to get outta here, or these hapless hostages get it!”
I’m not too familiar with the whole Roboto thing, never did listen to Styx, but I’ll bet he has a plan already in place for this kind of a situation. Just guessin’.
1-SOULFUL EYES: Cheese it, the cops. KABUKI: No worries Soulful. We’re in Mayberry, remember? Andy never hurt anybody and Barney only has one bullet.
2-SOULFUL: Sorry to disappoint, Boss, but it’s DICK TRACY. And Sam…
KABUKI: WHAT?!?! THEY CAN’T DO THIS! THEY’RE OUTTA THEIR JURISDICTION!
DT: Come out with your hands up Halloween Hooligan. This is your only chance. We start shooting in 10, 9, 8…
KABUKI: IT’S MR. KABUKI DAMMIT. SOULFUL: Let’s surrender Boss. We never even scored any candy at any of the places we Trick R Treated. They’ll go easy on…
DT: 3, 2, 1, LET ‘EM HAVE IT BOYS! BARNEY: WAIT JUST A GOSH DARN MINUTE THERE TRACY! I’m not loaded yet.

I like Robotos “facial expression”?
Durak Premium Member almost 5 years ago
I’m betting Roboto takes a very polite hostage with him on his get-away.
Ignatz Premium Member almost 5 years ago
Too early for the denouement. They drew a smug expression on Roboto’s mask in the first panel for a reason.

I say it was the polite clerk that Mr. Roboto praised that hit the silent alarm button…

Roboto tried to rob the site where Payday candy bars are made! All those salted peanuts rolled in caramel.

Will Roboto be able to smell the roses? He may have a 20-30 year wait from the looks of things.

Nice focus on Sam in panel 2.
But how did Tracy and his crew show up so fast at the scene of the almost-crime?
