An unexpected side effect.

Wild West days.

“That’s him! I’d recognize that model MS-328834-B charcoal filter mask anywhere!”

Socially responsible criminals?

WHODATHUNKIT?

It is #4

Now with the mask, all you see is Crunchy’s bushy eyebrows…

Photo id’s are now required at banks in NJ to do transactions. Do not take off your mask, just show me your driver license.

So true! My phone Face ID doesn’t recognize me either. #LOL!…wait… :(

The hairline looks mostly like #2.

It’s gonna be hard to tell who is who.

This has got to be challenging for facial recognition software, too

I’m pretty sure additional visual aids would be frowned upon at a line-up. Also, what if the perp had changed their mask?

Looks like #2

My bank requires that you remove hats and sunglasses to enter, but must allow masks.

Looks like #2, to me.

Yes, folks… It has come to this.

dust storm?

I have thoughts of robbers, just wait until banks open lobby’s.

it’s number 2.

I think its 2.

The mask looks familiar.

It’s #2

Twenty years down the road, with people born after now and developed to reading age come across the cartoons from the era are going to be seriously perplexed.

I love it! This strip is amazing. One of my other favorites, “Frazz”, got around the mask situation by breaking the fourth wall and pointing out to us that hey, they were in comic strip and we needed to be able to see them converse and emote and all that. Robb Armstrong has the skill to include the masks without losing the identities or the emotions.KUDOS! (And seriously, this particular strip is hilarious.)
