Oh, no, now Mango Frosty *is* speaking robotard. (Yesterday, it wasn’t.)
I’m just noticing how Mingus Forceps’ and Mecha-Dickzilla’s arm movements are severely hindered by their torso designs (nearly identical, which must be completely coincidental as Braces got his from overseas and Diet built his from scratch, haw haw). Who adds anti-functionality to their designs?
Oh, my. I like the panel where Braces is a cyclops.
HELLO POLICE? I HAVE PURPLE HAIR! I DON’T WANT TO BE AN ANIME CHARACTER!!

Another useless crimestopper hint: no cell phone, and if I rang somebody else’s doorbell to use their phone, they’d call the cops on me.

Wouldn’t it be easier and much more effective to hack their computer network? How are you going to smash in and “access their valuable secrets” like a bull in a china shop? Where would you find these secrets? Well, I guess we’ll find out.

Grok - you noticed that the robot’s arm movments are hindered by their torso designs. I think the same goes for Tracy and Braces - sadly, I think it is a drawing problem and not a robot-specific problem!
“Genesis is a giant refrigerator box. No one just waltzes in!”
SMSH IN!!!! That’s right, MF Robot, thanks for doing a good job repeating things. Braces paid way too much for his fancy speak and spell.

This whole story line is a complete insult to Diet Smith and make him look like a bumbling idiot. How could it take him years to “develop” the Robo Tracy while Braces can order one from QVC?
Nice story line. LAME.

Ok, here you go Braces, you need to know this. If you steal a secret by breaking in with a stupid giant robot, and everyone knows that you did it, the whole thing is pointless! But if you’re careful, and deceptive and steal it quietly without anyone finding out, well, then you can use those secrets AGAINST your enemies quietly and efficiently YOU BIG STUPID BRACEFACED IDIOT! There might actually be a point to stealing them, other than being a petulant whiney crybaby. Go home to Mama! Your gang oughta just turn you over to Tracey now so he can set Baskervilles hounds on you, if they’re still around. Or have his stupid robot serve you tea like the freak you are.

Are you sure this isn’t a sequel to “Groundhog Day”? This has been going on for weeks.

Just like the old days. Great to see Tracy and the gang.

Trust me, it’s NOT like the old days.

Chester Gould, a veteran cartoonist, began drawing his most legendary character, the dashing and daring Dick Tracy for the newspaper comics page in 1931. Modeled in the image of the innovative Sherlock Holmes, Gould was inspired to create new crime-fighting technology, including the two-way wrist TV, closed circuit TV police line-up and the engineless car that took Dick Tracy to the moon (both literally and figuratively).
Although many remember him with fond nostalgia, Dick Tracy, now written and illustrated by Dick Locher, continues to be relevant as he combines old-fashioned values with 21st century innovation to capture corporate crooks, computer pirates, polluters, skyjackers, gang members and terrorists.

I have this script memorized by now, and could write it in my sleep. Zzzzzzzzzz
