MF’s think chip is full of all kinds of knowledge! Nusery rhymes, crafts, sense of humor (more or less)… Can’t wait to hear him quote the Psalms: “What is Robot, that thou art mindful of him?…I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
You can see one of the robots in panel 1. Where exactly are Braces and his henchmen? The robots are fighting in the “genesis lobby”, but Shirl & Braces can see right over that bush, through the wall, to the back of a robot.
Glad MF found some smack talk that he could dance to.
Folks, I just signed up today. I’m 55 years old, and I’ve been reading Dick Tracy since 1959. This is the only comic I’ve ever heard of in which the Comments section is more intelligent than the comic itself.
Maybe they’re outside because MF had smashed the door to the lobby, and has been advancing on Trzr who’s been backing away from him.
So MF can bend, Trzr’s face springs back into shape, and MF can land a punch in spite of the wide bases and short arms. What are they made of, rubber? And what goes splink or sklink, glass?

ElVicente, that is the worst put-down anyone has given Mr. Locher to date.
Like I said before, these devices are not constructed of metal. They are made of cheap plastic from China. That’s howcum they can bend and don’t get dented, and can go Sklink. Clever, these Chinese folks.

Grok says:Wait, wait, wait…MF/BF is not leaning over on his spring-thingy; he’s bending his otherwise apparently-solid torso. ARGH.
He has a teeny tiny hydrolic system installed in each side of his upper torso so he can bend like that. It saves wear and tear on the main spring. It also makes him appear much cooler.
Natasha hated the cops almost as much as she hated Magnum Force and the idea of being stuck with Braces. She figured with both robots busy knocking themselves silly she just might to able to get away and take control of the gang. She was,after all, the real brains of the operation. She had to get Braces attention towards the action.
“A POLICE ROBOT? Good! Let them fight it out!”
Braces just stared at the action, mixed feelings flowing through him. He longed to help Brute Force but knew it was better if he stood away.
Traze-R tried his best not to fall into MF’s trap of getting distracted. He still held out hope that he would be able to talk his way out of the situation and avoid any futher fighting.
“Give it up. Brut Fors”.
MF’s side wanted to split from all his laughing. This garbage can in front of him was still trying to talk tough? “Amazing”, he thought.
“Hey, Humpty Dumpty, know a good welder”, MF asked with perfection.
He started shaking from laughing so hard he had a hard time getting the punchline out.
“U wil need to B put bk together whn I finsh with U”.
“BBAAAAHHAAAAHHAAAAHAAAA. I’m DA robot, I’m da robot”!! MF screamed so hard to himself that he could’nt say it out loud.
“I’m bad, I’m bad”!! he thought as he started to moonwalk.
I can only think of one thing that makes “splink” an adequet sound effect when hitting a robot with a fist. That is really thin sheet metal, like on a soda can.

Welcome to our little world. Hope you enjoy the comments and petty bickering more than the comic (Cause it’s lame these days)

Ridenslide…. is that pic perhaps you???
Yes - smoking hot, supermodel types just love to use their own photos as their avatars and visit comic strip web sites, hanging around the Dick Tracy pages and reading the hilarious comments of all of the awesome Josh Fruhlinger wannabes. Maybe if you say something really funny “she’ll” give you “her” number.
Oh yeah, and I guess you can’t comment here without adding one of these: Dick Locher is an aging cartoonist whose writing and drawing skills are on the decline, causing the quality of his comic strip, which is intended to be enjoyed by grade school children and the old farts who’ve been reading it since the 30s, to suffer. Oh man, that’s hilarious!

Trash talking MF!

Looks like Robo-Dick’s face is undented from the two punches.
Just what we want to see: two robots talking smack to each other. Ugh!

Now I realize what Locher does with his spare time; he’s a regular fan of WWF. Stay tuned, fans! All we need now is a tag team Main Event!

Oh no he di-in’t!!! It looks like BF is dancing to some krunk music in Panel #3.

Now we just need a giant mecha-babe to come along and totally distract MF/BF. Trazer won’t be affected of course.
