    “I tld you to rn! You ddn’t do it, now yll pay!”

    Uh, I could be wrong about those voltages. Seems BF was designed with killer voltages directed to his hands too. Who knew?

    Crimecommitters text book: When your killer robot tells you to run, take his word for it and show your heels.

    How did Braces let him down? MF/BF had everything under control until Buzzy blew him up.

    Shirl(ey)’s sister has a different look today.

    “ZZZZZST”? I suppose that’s the sound of searing, electrified flesh?

    Prediction- after Braces is knocked out, MF will turn to Tracy and say “you next, police person!” And we will ALL like it and be very amused.

    No way this ends before 2009.

    Sydney! Welcome! What happened to our favorite poster, Mattie, and his junior clone, Jeffie? (better known here as Dorothy and Todo)

    I like that! I must say, a not unexpected, but great ending for Braces.

    Sounds like the bacon is frying in panel 3. Stick a fork in him. I think he’s done.

    They’ve all been outside the building so long, she had time to run into the hairdresser for a little makeover. Looks like the medicinal leech attached to her scalp is gone too - maybe she also stopped in to see Theodoric of York.

    Welcome, Sydney Phillips! Your posts elsewhere never fail to capture my interest. :)

    Magnum-Force with great difficulty managed to turn his head to face Braces. He hoped that this final moment of his existence would somehow remain etched into whatever part of his circuitry continued on after him. He knew it wasn’t logical to blame Braces for everything that had gone wrong, yet holding Braces up by his teeth and being prepared to administer the ultimate punishment made him feel more alive then ever before.

    Hatred consumed Magnum-Force!

    “U lt me dwn, Brazes”, MF spate out as a final sneer formed on his mouth. “Take Tht”!

    Tracy, having tumbled backwards and falling on his rear when Braces pushed him away rose up just as Magnum-Force shocked Braces with a high voltage electrical charge. Dick, seeing Braces shoot up in the air with all his extremities extended as far as they could go quickly realized that his expert services were needed once again.

    “ZAP”, Tracy said in a loud voice.

    Natasha was stunned! As much as she hoped to utilize Magnum-Force to get rid of Braces she never in a million years thought he would do it on his own. Although she really didn’t care if he lived or died she was so caught off guard by what just happened that she cried out; “BRACES”! Natasha didn’t know what to think of the cop with the crazed look on his face who was making some sort of sizzling sound.

    “ZZZZZST”

    Braces looked at his surroundings. He was back at the farm where he was raised as a child. Although there didn’t seem to be anyone around he still felt as if someone was watching him. “Who’s there”? He shouted out loud in fear. Braces heard some rustling coming from inside the barn that was on his left. He cautiously walked towards the entrance, slowly opened the door and walked into the barn. “Hello Braces” Braces swung his gaze to his right from where he heard his name. He saw a shadowy figure standing before him. “Who are you and how did I get here”? Braces demanded to know. Instead of answering the figure motioned with its hand for Braces to follow it into the bathroom. Braces, feeling compelled to follow it walked into the bathroom. The figure was gone! “What’s going on”? Braces asked himself. Something inside him told Braces to look at the mirror over the sink. Braces was stunned at what he saw. “MY TEETH ARE PERFECT”! Braces shouted out as he saw that the braces were off his teeth and he had a perfect smile. Braces knew then that he was in heaven and all his rage and anger at everyone and everything instantly melted away.

    Braces, after a lifetime of hate,,,

    was happy.

    To be continued………..

    (I have too much time on my hands. Hi Sydney!)

    I think Braces let him down by not leaving when he was told to escape. Rather than let the police get him, MF took care of the job.

    Does Shirl’s sister have inflatable parts on her that suddenly sprang a leak?

    Morrow, Shirl(ey)’s sister is really an inflatable doll. Braces couldn’t get a real girl so she was the next best thing.
