   So where’s the camera that’s showing Diet (in his PJs) on Tracy’s wrist phone/computer/genee thingy? Shouldn’t Tracy be looking at a screenful of ear hair and wax?

   Hi, Voltage. Watts up?

   Since it’s probably a cordless, and based on the view, the camera might be mounted on the wall or a dresser opposite Diet. At least the braces part of Braces will only melt and not vaporize.

   Okay, so the current “expert” advice is “don’t go near it”.

   But when it was completely intact?

   Go for it.

   Now there’s two wires connecting the arm.

   Diet has a camera mounted in bedroom?? I guess if Dick has nothing to do if he can watch Diet and any lady friends he brings home??

   I’m not a physics expert, but I’m pretty sure that magneticism and high voltage are not one and the same. I think Diet just wanted to tell Tracy something quick to get Tracy off the phone, so Diet can go back to dreams of cartons of milk.

   Ludwig-lets be honest- Diet doesn’t look like the type of guy who is bringing home a lot of ladies.

   Dude is stinkin’ rich. I’m sure he has PLENTY of ladies sharing milk with him in the mornings.

   Now that camera pointed at him in bed? Uh, creepy…

   Diet prolly brings home more double-meat cheeseburgers than ladies.

    (TRACY on the Wrist Genie)
    DIET!! Take the dangflabbit phone out of your ear! All I see are cruddy old potatos, ear wax and crusty hair! You doddering old fool! And get your hand out of your pants! Wake up old man! Elsie’s a cow for goodness sake!

    BTW, the bad guys got a robot from QVC. Log onto you Commodore 100 PC and see if they have a copy of the instruction manual on there.
    I’ll hang on…….

    Swat dude, grab me a burger will you?

    I don’t care. Braces got what he deserved. Way to go, Locher!

    Braces ought to be thankful for MF/BF’s hand clamped onto his jaw. Remember Braces’ constipation? Betcha he ain’t constipated now! How do you spell RELIEF? B-R-U-T-E

    BB, you did yeoman’s duty today. It is hard work to make something out of this mess.

    I agree with Marg. I vote we double BB’s pay!

    Why, in the third panel, is Tracy’s wrist TV pointed at Braces? Is Tracy sharing the exciting news of High Voltage with Braces?

    I had to look it up. Robot voltages aren’t all that high– EXCEPT FOR (more later)

    Most voltages are under twenty volts. The servo motors that operate the arms and the wheels will pull that. Control voltages will be pretty much the standard stuf you’ve got running around your computer’s circuits. We’re talking 12 volts, 5 volts, 3.5 volts and so on. Not exactly high voltages here, eh?

    Now, we come to that EXCEPT FOR from earlier. Remember that laser? It’s a man killer, and to get that kind of power I’m guessing that you would use capacitors that would pack maybe fifty thousand volts or so. A sudden discharge produces that laser blast. The batteries recharge the capacitors in a matter of minutes.

    BF has been damaged, those capacitors may have been at near full charge, and now you have no idea how well any protections may have survived the blast that destroyed BF. Yep, because of the laser, there could be some really interesting voltages running around loose.

    Apart from the laser, you would have more shock potential from an electric golf cart.

    Silly me. First I thought all this was going on inside the building. Then I thought this was going on in broad day light. Next, we will find out this is all occurring in mainland China.

    You’re spoiling all the fun dude.
