678 – CARL!!!!

Dammit, Carl! If you’re going to steal something (especially something as big as a ship), you don’t broadcast that you did it! That’s like back during the Depression and bank robbers would rob banks and as they’re leaving shout out, “and they ask you who robbed this bank, tell ’em all it was us, Joltin’ Jack and the Scuggins Gang!” The hell, people?

This is the last MeatShield comic of 2018! I’ll be taking the next two weeks off for the holidays. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and I’ll see you all again on January 11, 2019!

Take care, folks. 🙂

Merry Christmas, Rob. See you next year.

Actually Rob there was a logic for telling everyone who was robbing banks during the depression. Most common people who had savings in banks saw it seized because there was no FDIC then. The banks to keep themselves afloat simply took the life savings of people who were too poor to fight back and then foreclosed on their homes. By letting those who had been made destitute by the banks know who was robbing them it made allies who were willing to help hide the bank robbers when the police came looking for them. It’s one of the reasons the FBI came down so hard on the criminals was because they were trying to dispel the folk hero status many of them attained in rural areas of the country.

They should have sold that money pit as soon as they docked, and used the proceeds to pay the docking feeds and buy the new iOun.
