Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for January 04, 2020

Good morning™, warehousers!

I wonder what kind of warehouse he works in. @tsull, you don’t have a mask like that, do you?

It looks like he’s about to take off the mask. I wonder what he looks like without it.

After his biggest heist ever, he’s now planning and even bigger one. Tracy had better get busy!

Am I the only one who can’t help but think of Méliès every time I see Roboto?

@HarryCK

i know… and i have a story already in mind for it as well.

tim, I am sorry about what happened with the story. Back when the net or my computer was more primitive I would have a whole Comment built and then ‘poof’ !  Might be that God heard your line about that other fab four. ;-p

My car failed inspection this morning and i will have to leave it at the mechanic’s shop for a “smoke test” to see what evapoation issues its having and how much it will cost… luckily i have til February 29th to get the repair done and the reinspection taken care of tho

Most curious. Our stuff gets dyno tested. But even a visual test can be damning if it is anything other than a little white puff (coolant), black (too rich) or blue (oil burning).

Good morning™, weekly payday club members !

He must work at an Amazon fulfillment center.

So, back to being a working stiff!!!

OMG The Spirit is working for Mr. Roboto :)

Aha. A part time criminal, eh.

Mr. Roboto always achieves his Target!

Meliere is back?

He works in the same obscure Government warehouse where the “Arc Of the Covenant” was stored at the end of “Raiders of the Lost Arc”.

That’s Ark, not Arc.

This week we have had 3 two-panel days and one day where the center panel could have been eliminated (except for some odd reason Mike wanted to point out that Tracy was very familiar with Styx). When I see this, it makes me think there is not much story and they are stretching things out. At least that seems to be the pattern I have seen before.

1-KABUKI: Sorry Soulful Eyes. I called you Knuckles’ earlier.

SOULFUL EYES: That’s ok Mr. Kabuki. I’ve been called worse. But I can’t remember when…

KABUKI: I’m glad I based these robot gloves on Playtex Living Gloves. They allow me the flexibility to count money accurately. AND to avoid dishpan hands!

2-KABUKI: I just wish I hadn’t used a deep sea diver’s helmet as the basis for this mask. Give me a hand Soulful.

SOULFUL claps hands KABUKI: Real funny. Everybody’s a comedian…

Generic Thug looks like he forgot to take his CPAP harness off.

C’mon; he’s eventually going to have to go after the Machinenmensch from Flintheart’s Metropolis , played by Miss Chimera. (Shouldn’t that be Machinenefrau?)

And the Masked Singer is…Nooo!! Some long dead villain from the 40s.

Mysta Robotrix meets Mr. Roboto. Gotta be coming.

The time has come at last ; to throw away this mask ; now everyone can see ; his true identity! He’s PRUNEFACE!

Is Johnson sticking around long enough to see the Big Reveal tomorrow (Sunday) when “Mr. Roboto” takes his (?) helmet off? —For at least this one more day, I’m still suspicious that “Mr. Roboto” might turn out to be a woman. And if so, or if not so, will it be someone we have seen previously or a totally new character?

Poboto’s schemes are pretty ad hoc if he expects to cook up a new biggie by next week (I think he earlier said “next Thursday”)….
