Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for January 20, 2020

Good morning™, admirers!

Notice that he’s in love with Futura, not with Mysta.

Is he Mr. Roboto?

I like it, this has the potential to develop into a great romantic twist; a fake robot falls in love with a fake moon maid.

Harvey material for sure!!!

Fatal attraction !!!

So…is Mr. Roboto an actual robot?! Those bug eyes and plastered smile scream artificiality. Remember how Roboto said he worked in a warehouse. Well, automation in warehouses and factories is a big thing now. Maybe he’s an AI program that created a mechanical body for himself. Or maybe his ‘girlfriend’ Edison Lighthouse is actually his creator. A robot pretending to be a human pretending to be a robot!

Good morning™, star struck stalkers !

Man !  Is this one waaay over the cuckoo’s nest !?  He will be so disappointed when she treats him cooly and not with the return slavering devotion he intends to project on her.

Looks like Mysta has a fan who is going to be an obsessed stalker…..

Follow up from yesterday (cue Peabo & Celine)!: Certain as the crook, Likes the girl a lot Tracy never fails, Bad guy goes to jail, Beauty and the Bot!

“Don’t Let It End” is a Styx song released just after “Mr. Roboto” which peaked at #6 in 1983.

Listen up, Roboto. I see that it’s “Love At First Sight” for you with this talented “Lady”. “You Need Love” and your “Crystal Ball” tells you this “Babe” could be the “Best Thing” ever for a “Renegade” “Blue Collar Man” like you. But don’t let reality “Sail Away” from you — “You’re Fooling Yourself” if you think “Everything Is Cool” and you and Futura/Mysta will be “Rockin’ The Paradise”! Soon enough you’ll see that “Nothing Ever Goes As Planned” and you’ll be left wondering “Why Me” once she’s “Gone, Gone, Gone”…

If many of my past posts haven’t made it obvious, then this one definitely shows I have “Too Much Time On My Hands”. %^p

This won’t end well.

Even if he somehow does get a little time with Mysta, Roboto needs a Loboto(my) if he thinks she’ll do anything but zap his rear end.

Ah a one way true love!!!

Mr. Roboto is about to branch out into kidnapping, it seems.

How does he get that big jug head into the Roboto mask?

I see love, being replaced by rejection, then anger, then kidnapping!Or some variation of that theme!

“Don’t Let it End”, Styx fanboy…

Is he a robot who thinks he’s a man or a man who thinks he’s a robot?

1-KABUKI: BRAINSTORM!

2-…One, she’s into Halloween costumes as much as I am. Two, I’m down a henchman now that Knuckles made a bad decision to be my fake hostage. So 1 + 2 =…

3-I ASK HER TO JOIN THE GANG! No wait, I kidnap her, wait for her to fall in love with me and THEN ask her to join the gang. YES! That sounds easier. AND it worked on Patty Hearst so cue up the Barry White! YOU’RE MY EVERYTHANG!

He better hope that his shoes aren’t grounded when Mysta spurns his unwanted advances. After all he shows that he isn’t to grounded in reality.

There’s a new term that I learned of that describes him : Simp…

“Just a little time together is all we need…”

Brrr!

Hmmm…this fits all the criteria of a Hallmark movie. Both are white (this is critical as there can only be one minority in the entire fictional town). Both are somewhat attractive. One of them thinks that all they have to do to get the other to fall in love with him/her is be forced to be together for all of 2 weeks. One of them has a lot of money (Roboto). Someone hire a talented actress Hollywood completely failed to put in a great show and some random mediocre guy whose only talent is he’s good-looking. The Valentine’s Day movies need an additional one stat!

This dude is seriously weird, and he is cruising for a shocking encounter if he tries to put any moves on “Futura”….

I love how Joe fills out the backgrounds ! :-)

There was a rather infamous London flop musical of Metropolis in the 1980s when London was obsessed with megamusicals. A bootleg is online—you’ve been warned.

Also, has this guy not heard about stage dooring?

100!
