    “good looks and charm”, no wonder you failed.

    Captain Kirk is back! He must have heard about all the fun they were having at the Mocambo.

    This strip is stuck in neutral with no where to go.

    Braces might be a stand-in for Bob Hope. Check out that schnozola!

    Well, Grockenstein, there’s a problem with your theory…remember Diet programmed Mecha Dickzilla (AKA Traze-R) to only respond to DT’s voice? (Braces doesn’t know this though) Plus Mecha Dickzilla is at Diet Smith Industries, not this Genesis Corp. So…I’m betting there’s something at Genesis that Braces and co. will steal and rob with, that only the Traze-R can stop, with DT calling the shots…we’ll see.

    Ahhhhh g6793, you forget that we saw Braces with a “telephone”-like device two (or was it three??) weeks ago. My bet is that he uses a voice scrambler to mimick Tracy’s voice and hyjack the machine (to open milk cartons for him).

    Does anyone think Braces will ever open his mouth? And those pants that flunkie #2 is wearing are sooooo 90’s, I agree, it looks like a deficient aerobics class. I actually just threw up a little.

    Maybe they’re the designs for a rival robot. Then we get a giant robot fight.

    Braces is probably pointing to his good looks and charm, stored conveniently off-screen, along with the four other looks he has had over the past couple of weeks. To bad the aerobics class doesn’t care. They seem to be just waiting for him to leave the room, so they can get back to sweating to the oldies.

    I don’t care how handsome and charming you are, I am not going to hire you if can’t keep the same face for long enough to finish a sentence. For example, if you change from a Pinocchio nose, to a smashed-flat boxer nose right before my eyes, I am going to be more freaked out than that time I could not get my milk carton open.

    Thanks, Gweedo, one of my hobbies is predicting DickTracy plots. As predictable as the comic can be, I’m usually way off. I never saw the crazy plot swing of the Robot opening Diet’s milk carton coming - Wow!! That one threw me for a loop this week. I’m still recovering.

    RichardT, do you think that Braces will transform into a robot next time we see him? Maybe all of the wardrobe and face changes are Lochers’ way of foreshadowing….?!! HAHAHA

    The Genesis building is where they’re storing the Project Genesis blueprints. Braces’ is part of Khan’s crew. They were able to brainwash Captain Kirk and he’s helping them to locate it. Robo-Dick is a proto-type of Data. Diet Smith is Harry Mudd’s brother.

    Sounds like a better story to me.

    I would prefer to see Braces transform into the pose my profile pic is doing right now. EDS, are you promoting sandwiches that are shaped like DT, or sandwiches that taste like him? Gross.

    Maybe the Genesis Corporation has designs on how to make Dick Tracy an enjoyable and relevant strip again?
