Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 21, 2008

It did give birth!

Braces braces appear to be between his upper and lower teeth, thus wiring his jaw shut. Is he fed intervenously?

This is like a paper version of the old “Clutch Cargo” cartoons. Hey! Clutch! That must be another one of Sarah Palin’s kids! (See my comment at today’s Brenda Starr.)

So now we have Mini-Dickzilla, too. But you guys are unkind about the technology. I think the ability to understand English and frame responses is quite a breakthrough. He can actually do interrogations, give press conferences, and replace Tracy totally. And, best of all, nothing can go wrong/go wrong/go wrong…

It seems like Traze-R changes size every pane! First he has his finger all in Tracy’s face (that is really rude, Traze-R), then he make’s Diet’s milk look like a tiny toy. This would be the first time I have ever seen an inconsistency in this strip so of course I am shocked!

Haha, maybe Braces wants to steal Traze-R to help him open cartons & give him straws to feed him intravenously, since his teeth do appear to be braced together.

It is unusual that something new happens on a Sunday. I think it is really special that we got to see the birth of Mini-Traze-R on a Sunday. I can tell that Locher really loves his fans!

Happy Sunday Go Comics.

Did everyone find the rubber duckie today?

YAWN!!! Hey, Maxine - How about we make some chocolate chip cookies?

I hope this is leading somewhere.

I like how Robo-Tracy can balance the milk carton on his finger. That’s talent, my friends!

I wonder how they managed to teach a tank to climb stairs.

The little gun that Junior has ought to be mounted on a turret - shouldn’t it?

whyz it have to have a tracked vehicle to go up stairs? There are all sorts of articulated multi-axle set-ups that would do it - but that would mean yet another redesign of Trazer’s whole bottom end - and oh so delicate - with the “little fingers” on both “hands” so delicately, elegantly crooked - if the Mini-T isn’t careful, that mini-cannon is going to gouge the deck.

Ok, where the heck did he get the milk and straw from? Does he have some kind of mini-fridge installed? And he didnt balance the milk on his finger, it’s obvious he has suction cups installed.

“SAY HLLO 2 MY LTL FRND!”

Seriously, I think we’re missing a frightening concept here.. Traze-R’s hands started out as bizarre claws (with thumbs) and have now become nearly human hands.. HE’S EVOLVING FROM DAY TO DAY! HE’LL TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

Since he’s slowly evolving to fit the action Locher wants him to do, suction cups are possible.

Morrow, who said that was a gun? I guess that’s Mr. Robo-Junior to you!

Actually, the mini-tank is really a toy to entertain Robo-Dick when he has idle time not fighting crooks.
