Cornered by Mike Baldwin for August 26, 2020

He “hacked” the system.

The blade is freshly sharpened, and there are no fingerprints on the handle. Job well done.

He was a good judge of heathens, sinners, and adulterers.

No surprises there, in today’s world. Look at those who are in charge everywhere – in a “virtuous” world, most of them would be in prison…

“I didn’t murder anyone. I murdered axes.”

His axe-wife must have been a horrible hew-man.

This is one for the books! An all time high!

Dexter?

I mistook him to a lumberjack!

All he had to do was say, "I accept … " The rest was automatic.

These nice men in blue will show you to the “down” staircase.

He’s one of the rubber-tree choppers who “boing’d” out of yesterdays comic. He went higher than the rest!

He only axed them what needed killin’.

“Hey, OJ – want to come to Chicago to play in a golf tournament?”

“Sure – but first I have to ax my wife.”

there seem to be no witnesses to these alleged axe murders

He was saved a second after the last murder.

I told them that if they didn’t let me in, I’d have an axe to grind.

“So why DID you kill all those axes!?”

Ask any Lumberjack, what he did with that axe was murder.

I see St. Pete has security with him, he must have seen this coming.

Axe murderer in spirit only.

I thought it was one of the Rubber Tree Lumberjacks from yesterday’s strip….
