Just don’t dump the parts in Lake Michigan. Apparently the water is too cold for anything to rot or rust out. That would leave too much evidence to be convicted by.
Okay, I get that there are 2 victims and 2 tubs, and Mobster#2 put one of them with his head out and his feet curled up underneath himself, but it sure doesn’t look like there was room for the 2nd victim’s body to be squeezed in with just his legs hanging out. Bah. Comic strip physics sux!
This was the pet peeve of one of my first boss’. “It is not a cement floor, cement is an ingredient in concrete”. He also said “It does not dry, it cures” and, “We do not pour a concrete floor, we place it”. Brutally hard work, paid well though.
The hydraulic formulation of concrete expands as it cures which would be the problem inside the tub. The more common concrete does shrink some but I would suggest the heat generated as it cures could be more of a problem.
Mr Creator Sir,( A.K.A.-Wiley), I have been reading your Non Sequitur since….OMG! Forever. And not once have you ever failed to put a grin on my mug. Might have been a groan or two thrown in from time to time, but always a smile! Thank you for keeping me entertained for a LOT of years!

Cement shrinks as it dries. By the time, it’s completely set around his waist and heart, he might not be wiggling his feet so enthusiastically.

Making concrete is very energy intensive. It would be more environmentally sound if he only put the feet in concrete.
