Not really much of a rant, but I hope this is a story arc. |

I'd've always really preferred if they threw you to jail instead of just mercilessly killing you. Then you could have a little side getting out of there. |

Exactly why this should be a story arc. It's been too long since I watched a prison break. |

Police brutality is always funny. Then again, so was panel 8.
I have to ask, though. What are those underscores in the middle of the floor? Chains? Tables? Partitions? Something else? I couldn't figure out what they doing there. |

Sorry, it's just a single spoof. At least for now. But who knows...maybe Dudley can afford an attorney and this continues some day as a court drama, not a prison escape?
Some details for those who may have missed them:
- Police chief Tehiezel appeared in the original Keystone Cops (yes, with a C) movies, 1912-1917. The K spelling is a later mistake, also seen in Nethack.
- COPS is one of the longest running TV series in the US and A. There have been over 650 episodes and almost as many spoofs this far.
- Electroshock weapons or "stun guns" or just "zappers" are occasionally used to stop people.
- An underscore is indeed an . No heavy iron balls this time, sorry.
- This prison actually exists in Nethack. You can save Dudley yourself. (sort of)
I hope this explains some of the obscure bits. Maybe the next strip will be common hacking again. It seems to get better ratings. ;-) |

One of the Goal levels, I think. Possibly the one, I seem to recall that being one of the levels with a prison. |
