The Big Picture by Lennie Peterson for March 25, 2018

And then the clerk pulled out a real gun, I hope?

Yay! Keep on drawing!

I think most lawyers look like that. Permanent resting smug face.

I had a guy like that who walked into the convenience store with the mask on, pulled knife and demanded money. It took the clerk a while to realize he was serious, because the mask wasn’t so effective, and she recognized him as a customer who came in every morning and thought it was a joke. She knew his name and where he worked. We almost beat him to his work.

But my favorite is the guy who was waiting for a customer to leave so he could rob the store. So he held a $20 bill in his hand and waited in line. When the customer was leaving, he asked for something and put the $20 down, and when the customer was out the door, he pulled his gun. The clerk promptly handed over the money. Unfortunately, he had just made a drop and there was only $15. The guy grabbed it and ran. But he forgot his $20. So he paid $5 to rob the store. And the police in the next town immediately recognized him as a local crook.

There is always so much material for comics like this.

Lennie, please don’t think of quitting. We love your work! Don’t we gang?

Crinimals is stoopid.

I’ve read stories of guys going in to rob a store, but start off filling out job applications, and leaving the application. People robbing banks but write the note on their own deposit slips. Unreal.

This one made me laugh so much my eyes started watering!(P.S. Please don’t retire. Part of the reason I joined this site was to read your comic!)

Stay with us, Lennie – we need you!

Lennie, don’t worry. There is no end to stupid; therefore, there is no end to material for your strip.
