Sad for both of them

I could have sworn we were going on a ski trip. Sure took a left turn…

Yawn.

I’m older than I thought. I was going to suggest going to Jersey and using a pay phone to call Kenny. Fuggedaboutit. Just buy a throwaway phone to call every week or so.

Poor Sharcane.

Now, who’s going to break it to Kenny that he may never hear from his dad ever again?

I think fuzzbucket got the call right with throwaway phones. But you need SS#, driver’s license, credit cards, etc. He’ll need the Feds to give him a new identity or anything he does will create a trail that will only serve to drag the storyline out forever.

Quite a culture change from where he was living, to living in NYC.

All Shark wants is to see Kenny again.

That last panel says it all.

Some people in Sharcane’s predicament use another’s phone to make calls. Or, they may be able to apply for a phone using a fictitious name and PO box as address.

I forgot why he’s in hiding and who’s after him.

Since there are always trails, leave many false trails. It is often safe to dwell near an old false trail. Once the hit team rushes in and doesn’t find me, er, uh …. Sharcane, they assume it is still a false trail.

Place a few false trails in sufficiently dangerous locations and the locals finish off the hit teams for entertainment. (It often doesn’t even make the news.)

Awww….. (┬┬﹏┬┬)

Did this guy tick off the freaking mob or something? Just arrest the people trying to kill him and let him return to a normal life!

Write to Kenny. Put the letter in a stamped envelope addressed to Kenny. Put that letter in another stamped envelope addressed to s trusted friend who will mail the letter to Kenny. Have several friends who will do this for you. Have Kenny do the same to reply.

cue the ominous music

Ummm…what’s to stop the crooks from kidnapping Kenny now to flush him out of his new hidey-hole? Or they forget about him and just go for his filthy-rich step-mom? Sorry, I’m spoiling summer’s storyline, Robb.

I’m pretty sure when he first entered Witness Protection they told what Carla just said.

No good deed goes unpunished.

Not using a cellphone? That’s a surefire way to stand out in NYC, especially if he’s jaywalking.

So if Carla is such a top notch CIA agent, why doesn’t she just catch the bad guys and put an end to that story line? ;)

A sentimental Shark??Well,there’s a new twist.

Incredible artwork.
