    Good morning™, audience!

    Tracy is now involved. Yes, we already knew that he calls himself Mr. Roboto, but we now know that this wasn’t the first payroll robbery he has done.

    “Mr Roboto” is clearly a nickname, though, wonder what is his true identity.

    Why is Chief Patton’s wrist radio gray? I guess it otherwise looks like a wrist radio.

    Dick’s all decked out in matching color coat hat and wrist radio! What a snazzy dresser indeed!

    LOL!

    Wishing everyone in Tracyville a happy, safe, healthy, prosperous and blessed New Year!

    Doesn’t Pat know that Tracy and Sam checked out a marked car, one, I’d presume, with a radio, and, a mobile VDT?

    Another one? This means payroll offices have been being knocked over while Tracy and Sam hang out at the zoo with their buddies.

    Thermopolis Payroll must specialize in some pretty low end clients. ADP & Paychex would never have piles of cash.

    1-CHIEF: Tracy. Some crazy is Trick-R-Treating. City ordinance limits that activity to one day in October. Snatch him up. And Tracy…no questions will be asked about the shape he’s in when you bring him in.

    2-DT: Right Chief. I appreciate that but no one could expect me to be responsible for the physical status of someone who eats candy all the time. He probably can’t do one pushup but that’s not my fault.

    3-CHIEF: Darn it Tracy! I meant that you should feel free to use ‘extreme prejudice’!

    DT: Chief. It’s that kind of attitude that’s got police forces all over the country in trouble. I’m not that…

    CHIEF: NOT THAT KIND OF PREJUDICE YOU IDIOT! JUST BRING HIM IN! SERGEANT! GET ME SOME ASPIRIN AND A BROMO!

    I’m liking this story already! Looking forward to learning more about Mr. Roboto, and how his crimes will intersect with Vitamin’s play. Happy New Year, all!

    CHIEF: “This time we’ve got a name to go with the crime….His name is Mr, Roboto.”

    TRACY: “Sam, which station is the Styx Channel on our Wrist Radios?”

    SAM: “I dunno. Do we have a first name for Mr. Roboto? Maybe he’s listed in the phone book.”

    —Not that the name by itself will help much, Chief Patton! “Mr. Roboto” is fake name, after all. We have no idea even what the guy looks like, much less what his real name is.

    But “calling Dick Tracy” is a classic starter-line (which I seem to recall from radio days, if vaguely). And we do now know that the site of the robbery falls within the Tracyville policing jurisdiction….

    Whatever happened to the two way wrist tv’s? Were they recalled by Diet Smith Industries? I supposed the same thing happened with the Wrist Geenies. In the 21st Century but having to rely on technology from the previous century.

    “Bank” Robbery by any chance was the name that fit the crime Chief?

    Not that I mind in timeless Dick Tracy’s world, but surely payroll deliveries are a thing of a distant past now? Does anyone really pay staff in cash anymore? Even low wage staff get cheques/checks that they can take to a cashing service if they don’t have a bank account. As I understand, the main movements of cash these days are daily collections from cash-heavy retailers such as supermarkets and bars, and the ongoing card revolution is reducing that a lot. Some bars in London no longer accept cash at all, partly for security and partly so their staff don’t have to balance the till at the end of the evening.
