Officer West to the rescue (his name is on his uniform name tag). This does seem to be a fairly deserted part of the woods which we’ve seen in some other story (I forget which), but B.O. can head home now with the suitcase in the trunk.
On April 27th the Hatmobile was missing a licence plate, but obviously someone noticed because it’s had one each time the rear has been shown since then.
It seems we’re assuming that BO still has the loot in his trunk. That would make sense: given that it happened, it may have something to do with the story. There’s a possibility that Croppie grabbed the case out of the trunk when they am-scrayed. That would make this chance meeting nothing more than an opportunity for Mike to continue to devolve the strip into rank fandom. So this is the test: if the loot is in the trunk, it’s not as bad as it could be. If the loot isn’t in the trunk, Mike’s lost it.
I realize it’s not him, but he looks a little bit like Johnny (the MAN) Adonis. B.O. may have unintentionally avoided a carjacking by those 2. Mr. Copper may have done him a huge favor. Or… he may have done THEM a favor. :D
1-BO: I don’t need a cab – I got the Hatmobile. Lemme tell you all about how I won it and why it’s called…
2-MAGNUM BEATCOP: SHADDAP! I’M A COP! This car violates at least a dozen safety laws beginning with “No bumpers and it HAS rocket launchers!”. BO: It’s got an ejector seat too. And probably machine guns. Stand in front and I’ll press buttons until you tell me the machine guns pop out… MAGNUM BEATCOP: My last name is BEATCOP – NOT Catchem! Now pop the trunk – I wanna see what you got in there.
BO: It ain’t mine. MAGNUM BEATCOP: HA! I knew it! Dispatch – Assistance needed in the woods. I got an illegal vehicle with contraband.
DISPATCH: 10-4 ROGER THAT. All units: Anyone with knowledge of where the hell the Woods are should go there immediately . Over.
It sure got dark in the park. B.O. must have crossed paths with Croptop and her accomplice around 5 or 6 something. What’s that you say? No daylight savings time in Tracy land?

A possible recurring character? I wonder what Mark thinks of him, especially p2? I say he’s got potential.

Didn’t assifer West used to work at the Tracy Town funeral parlor ? His P.2. dark look / expression reminds me of all the ‘humour’ of an Abner K.

The red and black on the Batmobile is as striking a color combination as the blue and gold on the U.S. Navy Blue Angels .
