Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for November 14, 2008

U R a police person, Tracy. Now act like it!

Braces…now is the time for you to make your getaway with Shirl(ey)’s sister and the Pirate Man.

Escape later. How often will you see robots fighting?

Better put on your laser goggles, Dick. You DID bring them, didn’t you? For all his evil intent, MF is politically correct. My own theory is that each robot becomes attuned to the will of whomever is recharging its batteries. Sort of like a metallic pit bull. MF has no idea it’s wrong to steal hubcaps or make a police person “next”. Wonder how Tracy’s head will sound when MF gives him the ol’ right cross? Will it echo?

And all the time, the SWAT cops are just watching? Bunch of wusses! And I’m sure none of them brought anything to this fight to blow out MF/BF’s tires. Maybe a can of spray paint to blur its pink goggles would help.

Shirl(ey)’s sister and Pirate man went to get Popcorn, a Diet Coke and 3 chairs to sit with Braces and enjoy the show. Who needs to run, MF/BF will dispose of Trazer, DT and all the Swat guys eating donuts. Then they can walk away with the Hi-Tech Mag Tapes (er, I mean Breast Implants) The Grand finale- When Groin-Bot appears to take down the mighty MF/BF right????

MF is not being politically correct. He is just unable to figure out if Dick Tracy is a man or a woman.

THE DEATH OF DICK TRACY IS NEAR!!!

According to reliable sources in the comic industry, Dick Locher will retire at the end of the year. TMS is considering ending Dick Tracy.

If you would like to see Tracy continue under a NEW creative team, NOW is the time to act!

Here’s your chance to speak out about your favorite comic strip to a person who controls its future!

So that’s what BF means by “U R next”! Brute is really an enforcer for the Comic Syndicate…

Is MegaForce about to kill Dick Tracey? I’ll wager that he’ll spend at least three days discussing it.

A new team could do no worst. I’d like to see Tracy continue only if the strip could begin to even remotly resemble what it once was. If not then perhaps it’s time for Dick to hang ‘em up.

I always taunt correctly. I once told a kind gentleman that I was going to stomp a hole in his developmentally-challenged, over-weight buttocks. The look in his eyes was complete fear, I assure you.

Bring on the badness!!

I think that Brute Force is going to tear Dick Tracy up like a dirty t-shirt and toss him in the garbage.

Tracy couldn’t help himself. He knew that he should be trying to help Traze-R. “Why do I feel so old and inadequate all of a sudden”? He pondered. He continued to provide color commentary to no one in particular. “Brute Force is winning”! Magnum Force, smelling oil decided to go for the kill. “Thank God I’m a country boy”! He screamed like a madman as he slammed his fist down on Traze-R’s head, continuing to provide his own sound effects. “TWANG”!

Meanwhile, from a distant not too far away Braces looked on with loving admiration and glee. “He’s going to chop the police robot to pieces”! He exclaimed, proud of his robot.

Tracy was stunned. Traze-R was down! He knew he had to, wanted to, NEEDED TO do something! Tracy mustered up all his strength and yelled out loud in an annoyed voice; Traze-R GET UP”! Magnum Force looked towards Tracy. “This idiot must be some sort of clerk at the police station” he thought to himself. “I’ll have to teach him a lesson and put a wupping on him when I’m done with this trash police robot”. “U R next, police person”!

To be continued…………

GO GET’EM, BB! Get Mecha-Dick some help! Look under Locher’s desk and get Mattie to come to the rescue. Five minutes of that, and MF/BF will be in a straight jacket rooming with Don Quick Oatie! That’s bringing out the BIG GUNS! Gotta fight a giant with a giant killer!

LMAO!!

Another great one, BB! Jeff could do the drawings, and you could write the story……or not.

Jeff hates me! (LOL) I think the idea of having to work with me would cause his head to explode!!

Having said that, any time you want to collaborate just let me know jeffrey my boy! I’d love the chance to work with someone as esteemed as you!

Peace.

Next scene: Tracy runs like he’s scared and his screams could break windows two blocks away. Worse, the SWAT team is right behind him. It seems steaks don’t work with giant robots.

I think today’s Dilbert has the solution to Tracy’s robot problem.
