   MF bashed his way into the Genesis building. How come it looks like everything is just fine and dandy?

   Traze-R shouldn’t have to mention a word, because the damage should be apparent.

   Those look like mag tape cases. Did they travel back to the 1970s?

   It’s happened. I’ve overloaded. Not on the robots, but on Tracy himself.

   How did this guy get to be a detective anyhow? Certainly not because of his excess energy, the guy has barely moved since this storyline began. Not because of his curiousity, he appears to have none. It’s not because of his keen intellect either, the tin cans both seem to out-think him at every major point.

   If you want to commit a major crime, Dick Tracy’s city appears to be the place to do it. All you have to do is move at normal speed, you’ll be in and out before the cartoonist knows you’re there. It’ll take maybe a couple of months, with DT moving at cartoon speed, to finish his coffee and even realise a crime has been committed. Figure another month and a half to put down his newspaper and actually detect/investigate the crime— by that time, you’re on the other side of the world enjoying your ill-gotten gain.

   O.K., a little fine tuning people. First panel - They came in by another wall so no damage visible.
   Second - The sound of the robots voice covers up the sound of the smashing. The twang is direction that you are to use for the sound of the robots voice(probably mid-western).
   Third - It is removing old files before accessing the new.

   The mag reels! Locher just told volumes about himself that I’d be embarrassed about, if I were him. How can he hope to connect with today’s readers when he’s stuck in a time warp 45 years ago? Most youngsters would look at them thinking Genesis must have been the forerunner of Wham-O, who made Frisbees. If it were a recording studio, I’m sure Locher would show a lot of 45 rpm records laying around.

   What everyone is missing is that those AREN’T mag reels. They’re movies that they show in the staff lounge. Knowing Locher’s advanced age the titles include, “Abbott and Costello meet the Mummy”, “Duck Soup”, “Wuthering Heights”, and “Plan 9 from Outer Space”.

   Tracy and Robo-Dick got to the Genesis building rather quickly and Tracy lost some facial features along the way.

   Wouldn’t one of the three people that were on duty activate an alarm so a large robot doesn’t have to tell Tracy that something is going on??

   Robo-Tracy lost the vowels that he gained yesterday.

   Just remember that with how long it takes to get any where in this comic they are probably still in the early 70’s and the terrorists from what seems like years ago (2007 maybe) were most likely the weathermen.

   One Word - LAME. Locher should be embarrassed.Trazer can say Genesis but not Tracy? Just plain stupid. I can’t believe I’m still reading this every day.

    I’m NOT reading this everyday, and heaven only knows how many readers have given up for good. I check it out once a week, and still don’t miss a thing.

    I’ve been reading the complete Chester Gould collection of Dick Tracy from 1933-1935 now. This old stuff is great! It doesn’t even remotely resemble the daily drivel we’re faced with now. Try these books out - they bring back great memories in more ways than one.

    TWANG is the noise of Traze-R knocking polietly on the front door. Maybe Braces will be nice enough to let him in once he is done stealing the magnetic tapes.

    Is that an arm growing out Dick’s back, or a 2x4 proping im up?

    Thanks for the morning guffaw, Ludwig!

    “Plan 9 from Outer Space” has more action and a more coherent storyline than “Dick Tracy”. And yet I continue to read the strip. Hmm.

    Oh, and for the record, I worked at a place that was getting data from government regulatory agencies on reel-to-reel tape as late as 2001, when I left that job.

    Perhaps Tracy should try that place that Fearless Fosdick just escaped from–the Home for Defective Detectives.

    Think we should warn these people?

    Too late. Looks like MF has been smashing down their walls already.

    Fosdick is still better than this tired old story!
