    What do you suppose the odds are that the MF Robot croaks Braces by Halloween? Speaking of which…

    (hands out popcorn balls to everyone) No tricks! My treat!

    I thought Robo-Braces was carrying the film canisters yesterday?

    Tracy and his Robot are back at the front of the building again after being at Headquarters in the Sunday recap.

    I think mecha-dick is just hearing the screams of pain from inside the building (or maybe he hears our screams of pain and refuses to acknowledge the other side of the third wall)

    Mega-Dick is eavesdropping on MF’s signals, possibly being relayed through Braces’ braces. That’s how he knows about the injuries. The fourth law of robotics is never wear metal around a robot, unless it’s an aluminum foil hat. I know these kinds of things. MF feels that those canisters are his own little brothers and sisters. Sort of like the Roach in the first Men in Black.

    Wow, just a bunch of observations today. First, Robo-Tracy and DT are outside standing around having a jovial conversation all alone, no back-up in sight, R-T can detect njureez? Must be a great tool to have! Tracy can take Robo Tracy home (if he ever gets back there) and when Tess tells him she has a headache, R-T can say, LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!! Braces now has his hands on the Breast Implants as well as the key to the code to unlock to secret transmissions on those German U-Boats. The end of the war is near!

    I guess MF is going to break the news to Braces that Dick Tracy and his faithful Robot are standing outside on the sidewalk having a smoke and they need to use the back door?? Probably not…

    I take it MF broke into Genesis’ back door, since the front door is undamaged. Shouldn’t that have sent an automatic alarm, even if none of the guards managed to send one manually?

    Braces has gone from calling MF “Mister Magnum Force” to just Magnum. What next, Mags or Maggie or Muffy? Henchwoman and Pirate will get jealous, since he’s never called them by their names. And MF has gone from calling Braces “Mister Braces” to just “Braces” and next it will be something like “Stupid Human.”

    Wonder if MF’s electronic signals have erased all the data in those film cans.

    And Trz-r has gone from calling Tracy “Detective Tracy” to just “Trcy,” which is understandable since he hasn’t done any detecting–even had to be told that Hobson & River was Genesis’ location.

    Wonder if MF was programmed to bring back any loot to his overseas creator?

    Would someone please give Braces a Red sweater to wear?

    It looks like Tracy is touching up his temples. Locher has been drawing him with some white in the sideburns but today the whites all gone! Maybe he’s trying to look younger for Tess (who he never sees).

    Ludwig VD, I dont think those are film canisters. I think Lochers idea of high tech data storage is reel to reel tapes.

    BB, the Red Sweater is being used right now. After all the drool streaks and other stains have been cleaned, it will be sent to Braces to wear.

    Ha! That would be such a great plot twist. Hope you are right. If so, he should have a slot to plug the disks (or whatever they are) into and upload them from there using his evl sgnls.
