Odd that he would even happen to be there. ✨

What is that on Lizz’s face, a strand of hair?

It’s amazing everyone from the MCU hasn’t been killed considering how sloppy they are.

Good morning™, coffee klatchers !

Sam and Jerry got a thing going on while Lizz is free to get back to “work”. If Delia ever lorded it over “Patty” that she is so much better looking she is liable to have some quite unpleasant types steered her way.

Worthington? Has Lizz been given a last name before?

Frankly, I think it would have been better for the story if those goons had succeeded in capturing Lizz. It would have added some dramatic tension. Instead, with King jumping in to save and Lizz going back to her undercover work like nothing happened, it makes the last couple strips pretty much irrelevant.

Can someone put an APB out for Neil, it’s already been over an hour!!!

Lizz saying “reflex” in P2 gave me a flashback to the ‘80s: Patrick Nagel art and when Duran Duran teamed up with Nile Rodgers for this quirky #1 hit…

I’m guessing that Sam was in the bistro and didn’t see right away Lizz was in trouble.

Good morning™, everyone!

I’m a bit late today. I got distracted.

Well, it could be that her cover has been blown now, but the police have several things they needed. She was able to lead them to the office where the Queen of Spades works and it seems like she got fingerprints that they can probably cross-reference to the ones they took from the pony-tailed suspect at the raid to confirm it was her.

Lizz also revealed to thee force where the headquarters of the escort service was located and the police have now brought in two more field operatives after they tried to attack her. I imagine it will be hard to them to escape conviction for assault or attempted assault of a police officer.

I think Mr. King may have lost his cup of coffee in the fracas, so it’s good of Sam to offer him a new one.

What’s going to happen to Lizz when those two post bail? Mission over?

“Let’s get a cup of coffee while Lizz goes back to running her escort service…”

“Wait. What now?”

Please don’t show Liz trying to continue in her undercover role. Even if the perps aren’t out on bail within the next couple hours they will find a way to alert a higher up as to the fact ‘Patty’ is a police plant.

Uh, folks, I’d leave the perps in isolation (even in isolation) until the sting operation concludes…

Someone is gonna squeal

Careless of lizz to be seen in public with a cop while shes undercover

1-FOO KING: So, I sees this chick getting’ her weave snatched and I says to myself What’s this town coming to? and I cut in and dance with one of the roofians. I did the Box Step on his head – first I boxed it and then I stepped on it.

2-DOLL: Turns out, it was all just a big understanding – they only wanted a 3 way with me. HA! Maybe their cellmate will accommodate them in that regard!

3-SAM: Meanwhile, I’m running you in for having those guns without an Open Carry license. HA! JUST JOKING! But seriously, why did you cut the sleeves off your suit jacket? It looks kind of ridiculous… FOO: Da tailor needed the material to add extra crotch room because of my huge… SAM: THE NEXT WORD OUTTA YOUR MOUTH BETTER BE HERNIA!!!

Ok, I’ll ask. Who is Mr. King?

And lock those two in isolation, or they’ll blow her cover!

They’re so formal

From today’s Comics Curmudgeon:

I’m not sure exactly who’s hitting on who here, but it’s all extremely erotic.

What’s sad is in the real world those two would be out on bail before the night was thru and Lizz’s work would be for naught, and might even get her killed. Yah got to protect the criminals rights!

Nice to see the indented crown on Sam’s homburg.

Maybe she is using the Rudy Guiliani product?

Ah, Sam’s green suit and derby…with that “sawed off wood” brown coat with the fur collar. Now THAT is a look…I think…

ZZZZzzzzzzz……

puny Mr King.. Sam’s larger.

Sam sure does love his cups of coffee. Has one with Patty-Lizz; now another with Jerry King, the street brawler (Lawler).

As long as the two Apparatchiks can be held incommunicado, Lizz can continue her undercover work safely. But probably not for very long, unless the MCU wizards can find some pretext to ship the two goons to Guantanamo, or something like that.

We shall see….

Mr. King happened to be in the right place at the right time. I wonder if the city officials will award him with a certificate.

The rassler is back,looking a little undersized compared to his original Staton appearance.

Still,plenty of people out there who deserve to be “pile-drivered”.

And that’s a really weird looking earring,not hair.
