I don’t think that drinking skim milk is going to do Diet’s body good…. at least not when he drinks like 10 cartons a day.
Braces does look extremely excited. Maybe he is mad that his flunkies changed clothes again and now have on pink and black.
I wonder why Diet Smith spent so much time inventing a robot when it appears that Braces just ordered the same thing from overseas. So Diet spent hours working on a fancy Traze-R when he could have bought essentially the same thing from China for a fraction of the cost. Well done, Diet, good one.
“That’s Mr. Brute Force” to you… since when did the MF robot go to the full-name basis with Braces? I wonder if Traze-R will start going by Mr. Traze-R.
Grok - haha, crimestoppers was totally the obvious tip of the week, LOL
Every time I see Braces, I think of whoever said that Braces looks like he needs a laxative - a STRONG one! That laugh is gonna be hard to beat. Ludwig, was it you that said that?
Morrow, wasn’t me unfortunately who had the laxative line.
So what does the face of Robo-Braces look like? Locher keeps cutting the drawing off at the neck so we can’t see what it looks like. Maybe it too looks like Tracy??
Again with the open-handed stomach pointing? For fun, I also stopped using my index finger. Now, when I want to gesture towards something, I stick my open-palmed hand at a 90 degree angle from my stomach, and lean in the direction of the object. For extra gayness, I put my other hand on my hip.
Excellent point EDS. Diet Smith industries seems to be doing the work that other countries can do for a fraction of the time/cost. Must be a union shop.
And last but not least, that tie. As anyone who has taken a ninth grade physics class knows, the only way Braces can get his tie to do that, is if he is doing some sort of superbowl shuffle to his right. What kind of henchmen work for a guy who moves around like he is Clay Aiken trying to shuffule down a narrow corridor? Robo-Braces still looks like a blow up doll (last panel). Even a blow up doll should be able to turn down a claymate like braces.
A while back, I got a striped tie like Dilbert’s, and inserted pipe-cleaners to stiffen it so I could bend it up like Dilbert’s. It was quite the conversation starter.

Robo-Tracy is now drawn in a way that there is no way Robo-Junior could roll out of the birth canal without a whole lot of K-Y.
It must be breezy in Brace’s hideout to make his tie almost horizontal.

Braces’ robot was designed by Dilbert. Dilbert probably gave him one of his ties.

In that second-to-last panel, Braces looks he’s ready to burst into song: “The hills are alive with the sound of muuuuuusic…”

I’m just impressed that he used the word “rebuke.”

Does Diet Smith ever think of his dead son Brillant?
