    How about reading the news, watching the news, and reading police reports? There cannot be that many explosions. And why does the doctor/professors’ face look elongated, or is that just me?

    Is this how the CIA protects us all from harm?? And who belongs to that tiny hand in panel 2??

    Should be easy to “Sniff” out the professor’s hideout

    Wow. The guy’s just Dick with better hair and occasionally eyeballs. He also has the mutant power to shrink and change both his hand and his phone at will.

    He’s also wearing the Venom symbiote, because in one panel he’s wearing a sweater, and the next a business suit. If this is a crossover with Spider-Man… Well, it’d STILL be badly written.

    Meanwhile, the electrical fart continues, the vial’s creating Hidorah, and the Doc’s turning into a Saiyan. I had no idea this strip took place in Japan.

    Oh geez, I just realized that the professor’s only got one joint on each finger. FREAK! HE’S A FREAK! A darned dirty FREEEEEEEEEEEEEAK!

    Say what you will about the strip, ( I, too, feel it is a touch flawed, however that is what imparts it’s entertainment value) but I love your running commentaries folks. I learn so much from them. This morning I particularly tip my hat to Cyber V for the double research adventure. Thanks, it was great. Godzilla rocks!!! (find and listen to the song Go go Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult)

    Back down to one fax machine, and the paper is dancing again.

    Morrow: I agree…this strip tends to be not-so-tech savvy (though in some instances it is, like the guy’s cell in the second panel-but what happened to his poor hand??) It’s almost like it’s trying to mix old and new technologies. With today’s equipment, the professor should be easy to find… Maxine…if you’re lurking…now would be a good time for chocolate chip cookies :) Or how about you, Judy? Do you bake? (cookies that is…LOL)

    I think the publisher only cares about the number of ad views/clicks. And the comments here provide plenty of that.

    We’ve just gotta get better agents. Seriously, Inspector Lestrade from the Sherlock Holmes stories would do a better job, and probably do less work in the process. Imagine trying to document/collate/index and so on every explosion in the United States. Then using that info to try to locate one person— it would be nearly impossible.

    IF this were for real, it would be a lot easier to wait for the local bomb-and-arson teams to do their investigation. Sooner or later, they would run this guy down, then the feds could swoop in and pick him up.

    The guy blows up his house by an accident! That isn’t against the law (unless he is ‘doing’ the insurance company. What the heck does the CIA want him for? If an accidental explosion here and there was a crime, they’d have BP shut down permanantly in Texas City and their Board of Directors in jail. As I’ve said before, where is the crime? What’s the CIA doing messing with this clown? I’d suggest they re-appropriate this time and money into modernizing their ways of finding people - like getting a phone book or a computer. I bet the July 4th firecrackers gives ‘em fits!

    How can you get this strip emailed to your email address?

    OK, Laredo. Follow instructions: First, make sure you have a large capacity SPAM file. Second, direct all Locher work to go directly there. Then weekly, empty the SPAM file before you get arrested for operating an unliscensed garbage dump and dung heap. FINALLY, don’t read it. Read this site instead.

    If you don’t like the story then go find a left wing hate the US & hate Christianity strip, there’s plenty of them out there. I like Tracy & will continue to log on here because for some mysterious reason no newspaper will carry him. “STOP UR WHININ”

    I think it could be a Tralfamadorian from “Slaughter House Five.”
