I have been beaten, sprayed, and arrested by the police protesting the lack of HIV/AIDS investment back in the late 1980s. I have had a jaded view of the police as a whole since, especially when the scar that runs for 8 inches from the front hairline past the crown to the back starts itching and burning. Luckily it is hidden by my hair from view, but run your fingers in it and you will feel the ridge line.
Michael might want to step back from the front line, just in case.
They are about to get bussed to the pokey. At the increased rate they are protesting. Surge pricing. Inflation. Whatever. Swipe your card for the fine, and have a good day.
When Ellie and John watch the news, they will see where Michael is and be mesmerized! I hope the police have some kind of compassion for Mike being led astray.
“Like a tree that’s standing by the water, we will not be moved” Michael and his friends have latched onto one of the all time classic protest folk songs, I wish more people remembered them these days.

What did John and Elly have in mind what Mike’s friends’ outing downtown was? Going to the movie theatre?

As a parent of a grown man may I just say, no John, he is now at the age where you DO have to start worrying about him.
And you will, even if he is 40 :-))

Why is that a surprise? Elly did that too, she was in the 1960s, remember?

Why is Elly heating up leftovers on the stove top? Most people were using the microwave for that by the time of today’s strip.
