    “Crime does not pay!” Just ask the smoking ruins of Braces. BB you might not have to continue this until Christmas after all.

    Cuff her you idiot, or at least disarm her, and I have never seen smoke make right angle turns.

    “Crime Doesn’t Pay” and sometimes neither does reading this strip.

    Long ago, the pirate guy realized it was time to split. He’s got the old CD’s and is now selling them on 43rd and Broadway for $3.00 per.

    Pirate Dude and OMSWATT realized they had a spark for each other (lame pun intended) and headed down the street to the leather biker bar to make plans for forming The New Village People.

    First, Tracy had a pistol, shooting at MF/BF. Then Natasha gets the drop on him. Then he’s lecturing her. Who has a gun? That person ought to be the one doing the talking! Wonder if the OMSWAT guy is back from the Dunkin’ Donut place yet?

    It remains clear to me that nearly everyone who posts here hasn’t a CLUE what exactly it is they expect.

    An appropriate end to this story earlier than EVERYONE expected is met only with more jeers.

    The asylum is calling…they want their straight-jacket’s back.

    Tracy walked over to where the chick with the funny hair and the gun in her hand was standing. Natasha, just as she was about to reach into Braces pocket and grab his wallet saw the police office coming over to her and quickly pretended to still be in shock. “Why doesn’t he try to take the gun from me and arrest me”? she wondered. She sensed something wasn’t right with this cop. Tracy, still concerned that “Chief” Lizz would burst in at any moment wanted to sound like he was in control of the situation even though he knew he spent most of the time cowering behind some bushes with that coward officer Kersten. “He’s had it”! Tracy shouted out so hard that his eyes bulged and his face contorted into a crazed look. “Done in by a robot.” Natasha wanted to blast away at this lunatic of a cop but was afraid of alerting anyone else in the building. She continued to fake shock. “Braces”, she softly said. Tracy suddenly felt some pity for Natasha. He decided this was the perfect time to remind her that crime never pays. “You used the robot to break into the Genesis Corporation”. Tracy began to chuckle as he thought of what to say next. “It should come as no shock to you that you’ll pay the price for your crime”. Natasha’s rage simmered just below the surface. She wanted so badly to shut this idiot up with a well placed bullet from the gun he never took from her. “He can’t be allowed to make a mockery of all of us” she struggled with what to do.

    “It might just be worth the cost to end this lunacy once and for all”

    To be Continued…………

    Speaking of things getting done, I’d do ol’ Roma there- those sharklike eyes and misshapen mouth are starting to turn me on.

    Actually…I’m glad it’s ending like this. I was having awful visions of DT getting fried by the robot(s). I wonder if Diet Smith will fix Traze-R?

    Locher always has been able to draw a hot chick. It’s putting hands on people that throws him. Locher would be the perfect artist for Venus D’ Milo. He wouldn’t have to worry about the arms and hands!

    And Hi, there, Dorothy! Where’s Todo? Sydney was here a couple of days ago.

    Morrow may have misspelled Toto, but he got “it’s” right. It’s always good to know all of its cases.

    It’s the Wizard’s world – I just live in it.

    BTW, if I’m Dorothy and MPH is Toto, then I guess BB must be the Scarecrow, Morrow the Tinman and LudwigVonDrake the Cowardly Lion.

    Can I be the Wicked Witch of the West?

    “AHHAHAHAHA! I’ll get you, my pretty – and your little robot, too!”

    Wonder if this is the last time we’ll see an image (albeit a flashback) of an intact MF/BF?

    Sorry Maxine but you have to be Glinda because of all the popcorn you’ve made over the years!

    Hey Jeff, you forgot to say that Dick Locher is the Wizard himself!

    Wonder if he’s going home to Kansas?

    I think you meant Dubuque, IA, but I get the Oz reference.

    BTW, I prefer the “Lollipop Kids” over the “Lullaby League.” It’s a guy thing, I guess. Plus, I’ve always admired the “popeye” look on those munchkins faces.

    I agree with BB on this one, Maxine – you are far too nice to play the Wicked Witch of the West. :)
