Fear not, boys and girls. Bassmanbob is on the way to enlighten us as to the real meaning of today’s message. And TOMORROW, we get another page in our Zitpicker’s Notebook! Whoo-yah!
Braces thinks like a badly programmed robot, and of course like BF and Mecha-Dickzilla nobdy controls him. His malfunctioning “think chip” handles that chore.
We’ve finally done it. This is a red-letter day. Today’s installment has, so far, left Bassman Bob speechless. Braces will definately need new braces after this.
I may be missing something here.. but I thought there were other law enforcement people with Tracy… such as the SWAT guy with the farmer John overalls. As long as this fight has been going on, they could have called in everybody on the police force there as backups.
“The entire police force” appears to consist of half a dozen people, tops. There’s Dick Tracy and the One Man Swat Team, Liz, Sam and I think there might be a couple of others. Dick and OMSWAT are presently occupied, Liz is shaking her head sadly, Sam is near useless so that leaves maybe the two others. If you’re a criminal and you want to do a crime in Dick Tracy’s city, now’s your chance.
People, people, you are getting into this to deep. It is just a cartoon strip, the mere mad imaginings of another person. Reality has no meaning here, as their minutes are as to our days, nor I guess for that matter neither does continuity or rational plots, but hey, still, uhh, hmmmm,umm, uhh, never mind.
Sorry Ludwig, while your scheme does make sense it doesnt take Braces mentality into play. Look at panel 1, Braces clearly has control of the arm. In panel 2 he simply sticks the durn thing in his own mouth, of his own free will. He thinks its some kind of all-day robot flavored sucker!

I knew that arm wasn’t caput! Great new words for Webster…”YI”, “MMFT”

But they’re acronyms for (YI) “You Idiot”, and (MMFT) “My Mother F Teeth”

Gweedo - my thought exactly! haha.

It really looks like Braces is eating the hand in Panel #2. Gross! At least put some ketchup on it first.

Grok - good observation on the popeye arm - looks like Tracy went to the gun show in Panel #1!

WTF? Stupid, stupid, stupid.
This ridiculous diversion will enable Tracy to overcome Shirl(ey)’s sister and then we can move on to the next lame storyline.

Oh no, now we won’t be able to hear Braces stupid comments! He’ll make just as much sense with the hand in his mouth as he did before.
LudwigVonDrake almost 16 years ago
I’m thinking some sort of magnetic force caused the hand to attach itself to his teeth.
Or maybe not…

You’re right! He shoved it in there himself.
