(For one day only, Dick Tracy has graciously agreed to describe the action as it happens for the visually impaired.) Things are not looking good for TRAZE-R the crime-fighting robot (and one could also say they aren't looking good for Diet Smith, the little man who lives inside of the crime-fighting robot). I think that things took a turn for the worse not when TRAZE-R became blinded, but when his wheels got bent out of shape and he was forced to keep using them (and now they'll never be true again). This seriously affected his mobility and ability to dodge, making hitting him in the eyes with a laser beam all the easier. Now that he appears to be on the way towards a fall, things just keep turning more and more in Magnum's favor.
Wait a minute. Braces, why are you still here? Have you never heard of backup? I don't think that the police would just let one of their own (well, two of their own if you count TRAZE-R, but I don't recall him ever being given a badge) handle something like this on his own, and if they weren't on their way already, surely the shock wave produced by a giant robot toppling over would bring them running to Genesis. (At least, I hope that it would.) My dear Evil Lady, I think that you need to take Braces by the arm and lead him out to the Evil Automobile where the Mysterious Eye-Patched One is waiting. You've got what you wanted from the safe. There's no reason to hang around and be caught. Time to head back to the potting shed.
But wait, there's more! Just when you thought everything was running normally, we once again take a short detour into the strange world of Rick Tracy. Unlike Dick, Rick seems to not be content to just sit on the sidelines, watching the two robots duke it out and instead takes the partnership seriously, stepping up and taking shots at Mungam, the evil robot who's beating the stuffing out of E-EZART. (He even appears to be using two kinds of bullets in his gun. One that serves as a warning and the other that means business.) How long will this detour last? Will it have any effect whatsoever on the story we've been reading? Your guess is as good as mine.
