Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 26, 2008

Why not, spoilsport! Talking to the chief that way, shame. Do you doubt her common sense?

Uh oh, Lizz has that P.O.’d look on her face. Looks like Tracy is going 2 be cut off of his free doughnuts and coffee!!!

Shouldn’t Liz(z) be making the important decisions? Tracy is only a lowly detective.

Robo-Braces looks like a mess in the first panel or maybe Locher was too lazy to draw it with any detail.

Liz is clenching her right fist. The last time I saw my wife do that, I wuz eatin’ at Jack-In-The-Box for a week! Besides, she wants to know why Robo wasn’t a woman.

We are not sending our robot out after petty crimes… he is too busy getting us coffee, milk, and donuts.

Ok, guys, not like I would know this from personal experience, but robo-braces in panel 1, is clearly an inflatable companion-doll. I have, um heard of, enough inflatable companion dolls to know that all of them have exactly the facial expression shown in panel 1. Looks kind of like the doll from “the Office”, actually.

we are obviously headed for a massive confrontation between the two Robos, sometime in the next year or two - unless it exceeds Locher’s, and/or his interns’ abilities to draw it - which seems likely -

It seems like Tracy is really posessive of Robo-Dick. Tracy, didn’t you mean to say “we’re not sending Traze-R to the robbery because I want to have some PERSONAL time with him here so we can cuddle and he can serve me milk and coffee”.

Richard T: LMAO! I hadn’t noticed the expression until you pointed it out.

To break him in in, Braces should send his Robo to teepee the well-manicured shrubbery in front of the Genesis Corp. He should also have “him” bring along some flaming Robo-poo to throw in front of the door.

Test - currently a Fearless Fosdick sequence is running at http://www.comics.com/comics/lilabner/archive/lilabner-20080926.html

Li’l Abner at comics.com is running a ‘Fearless Fosdic’ sequence. This was Capp’s spoof of DT. Nowadays we don’t need a spoof of DT it does it to itself. http://www.comics.com/comics/lilabner/archive/lilabner-20080926.html

Good thing for Tracy Liz has the hots for “her knight in shining armor”…

Plus Liz was his padwan a while back…he prob has some rather compromising pics of her or she’ll meet a Karmic Death if she dares to defy Tracy…besides she’s the one who in the last arc recruited an escaped mental patient and gave her a badge and gun…

I think the baddie Robo ought to be a well-endowed robotic woman, so we can test out Robo-Dick to see if it has feelings. Whoo-hoo! This line of thought has unlimited possibilities, including those involving Robo-Junior in the birth canal and its toy cannon.
