So last Friday, BF’s arm is not even off his body. Now today, in the first panel, hanging by a piece of string then second panel by what appears to be a cable.
How does Roma (Shirls sister) move so quick? She must be like that girl in “Heroes”
DT - Yeah, NOW is a good time to call Diet. His robot surprise was a pile of junk that took a beat down from a robot Braces bought on QVC with 3 easy payments (Made in Sri Lanka)
I’m sure Diet can pull (or roll)himself away from his lunch to take a stroll over and check out this lunacy.
Still no freakin back-up. Does Captain Lizz have an ax to grind with Tracy or what? SWAT man is gone. Potty break.
So, the criminal mastermind is thwarted by the same problem that most thirteen year-olds have on their first date. And DT STILL needs to use a lifeline to solve this problem?
Man, if this was an episode of cops, these guys would all be in jail, Braces and Shirl would be shirtless, and the genesis corporation would be some sort of trailer park. Now that is entertainment.
Hey, Dberry! No one hates DT. We find enjoyment in critique, as we do your comments. There is never anything lacking for a good critic. Be it good or bad. Do you, perhaps, like red sweaters?
The emotions of fear, confusion, hope and love all raced through Brace’s mind and heart as he struggled with Brute Forces hand that was attached to his teeth.
“Poor Bruty, in his pain and agony he’s trying to reach out for my help and comfort!” Braces excitedly thought as he tried to remove the hand from his mouth. He wished no one else was there to see this very private and tender moment between the two of them.
Natasha recoiled in horror as she realized Braces was about to tumble backwards and directly on top of her. The thought of Braces on top of her was more than she could handle. She felt it would be almost as bad as that time in second grade when that creepy Matthew kid that always wore a Red sweater tried to go on a date with her.
“Ugh, get away from me you disgusting slime ball”! she wanted to scream.
Magnum Force felt his last bit of energy fading fast. As he lay scattered all over the floor his only thought was to stay alert long enough to grab hold of Braces teeth and yank them out.
“Brazes, if itz th last thng I do I wil kil u fr wastng mi talnts n skils on thos stupd hokey puks”! MF wanted to say but wasn’t able to vocalize.
Tracy couldn’t resist the urge to provide color commentary, describing current events to all those people he knew were watching his every move. He knew they were out there, watching and criticizing his every word and action, just waiting for the chance to get rid of him. He hoped friends like Dberrymanal1 and the entire Red sweater gang would continue to defend him from the army of terminators.
“The robot exploded but the arm grabbed this guy”. Tracy paused as he waited for the crowd to respond. He heard them urging him on so he continued.
“His electronic system isn’t dead and he’s got Braces by the braces”. Dick wanted to laugh out loud over the joke he just made. The effort to not laugh made him almost have an accident. He hated when that happened to him. He figured he’d better do something about the situation.
“He’s in danger. I’ll call Diet Smith”. Tracy figured if the fat boy wasn’t too busy eating his doughnuts he’d tell him what to do.
Tracy’s eyes open wide and he lost all train of thought as he stared at his left hand.
“Why does my hand look so un-natural and why am I holding my arm almost on top of my head to make a call and why does Tess want to pluck my eyebrows”?
It would be nice if a robot stuffed it is fist into the mouths of some you Dick Tracy haters
I expanded the contraction in the original quote in order to illustrate an early grade-school punctuation mistake.
.
Grok, If you did that to everyone on this list who made that mistake, you would get carpal tunnel syndrome.
I’m not a Dick Tracy hater either. I’ve just been wanting him to show us some of the DT of old, who would have had the Braces gang behind bars before now. Hiding in the bushes and screaming like a frightened six-year-old girl isn’t going to get you very far in most police forces.
But then, I guess I’m something of a comic traditionalist. A case in point: The Superman of my youth could have mopped the floor with the interloper who is using the name now and not even work up a sweat. I kinda miss him every time I try to read Superman.

For pete’s sake, just cut the circuit leading to the arm.

“he’s got Braces by the braces.” LMAO, wonderful…
He’s calling Diet Smith, who’s going to do exactly what? Where the heck is Liz with the tank?

Looks like he has him by the tongue. Oh, and who shows first, Diet or the backup? Bets anyone?

Sloppy artwork today.
The other day the arm wasn’t connected at all!! Lousy hand alert in panel 3.
How did Shirl(ey)’s sister get behind Braces when she was with Tracy about 30 feet away?

“We’re sorry. That is not one of our models. You’ll have to contact the manufacturer directly.”

Why doesn’t Tracy call over the Little Bot to take a shot and end this storyline in quick form - unless it takes Tracy six weeks to do the paperwork….

How exactly did the robot arm move to grab Braces? Wire or cable, there’s not much leverage there.

Tracy’s worried about Braces being in danger? Wouldn’t you kinda WANT a bad guy who’s holding a gun on you to suddenly be in danger?
