Dekko has him totally fooled. If only he knew about that SCUBA diver looming in the distance! He may be having the time of his life, but I’m not sure his life has much time left in it.
Paul will pay with his life for the solitude. Then on second thought with this “me” time, he’ll get inspiration for future art projects. (wishful thinking on my part)
Before you knock off Paul (my bet’s no sooner than next Thursday, let’s milk this setup as long as possible) make sure he tells you how he keeps the sand off his towel!
That’s either the hit man Kriptonite or one of Fidel Castro’s communist agents here to destroy the American way of life !!!Bet you thought I was going to say another illegal alien trying to enter Florida from my previous comments this week !!!
Ok, yes, this looks like a good day. But “the time of his life”? Really? The dude must have had a pretty shabby life if THIS is the best it’s been. Dekko is doing him a favor, sending Kripto to do a business call.
I like the way the suspense leading up to Paul’s demise has been building up. More effective and entertaining than having it all wrapped up in one day’s strip.
1-This couldn’t get any better! A private beach and some kind of invisible server who left a cocktail on my blanket for me. Tastes a little bitter though. Kind of like those bitter almonds I once ate for some reason…
2-KRIPTO MANIAC:Heh heh. Step 1, learn to SCUBA – check. Step 2, manage to get a cyanide laced cocktail onto Paul’s beach towel while he was underwater for 60 seconds without being seen AND without getting salt water in the drink – check. Step 3, hope he drinks something that mysteriously shows up on his beach towel – check. Step 4, wait around and confirm his demise – hmmm…maybe. I’m kinda bored…
This segment of Paul in Panama City has gone on at least one day too long—at least to the point of “Paul on the beach” has gotten boring. Did we really need to see 3 panels of Paul getting a hotel room and three days of him swimming before the second panel today hints at action? This is what stretches stories out and allows the readers to get ahead of the writer in knowing what is coming. Is there anybody who didn’t know there would be an attempt on Paul’s life in Panama City?
I also know that when I start seeing so many two-panel days in a row, that the story is being stretched and drawn out. In my opinion, it wouldn’t hurt if the story were more concise.
When before did we see Dekko agree to Paul’s terms? We saw that Dekko lost his temperat Paul’s demands but I cannot find where Dekko agreed to these terms. I guess clarity of the plot takes a backseat to all of Paul’s vacation activities.
It was only in the 50s today in South Florida. No wonder the beach is empty… but I am a spoiled Florida teacher who thinks 50 is freezing while my Canadien neighbors (snow birds) are using the pool and enjoying the warm temperature to them !!!

Kripto! must charge a pretty penny for his services.
I mean, how good are you if you’re able to know just when and where your target will be!

I see an “undertow” about to happen. Pull him down, stun him, weapon or brute force, and then keep him there until he is fully ‘hydrated’.

You have to know that you don’t bring snorkel gear to a scuba fight.

Kyrptonite must have gotten a generous sum from Art to vacation in Florida. Only difference his is the “working type”.

Right, Art the flim flam man who’s running a massive con on the entire art world. No reason to distrust him at all, Paul.

Poor guy is going to die drinking from a sippy cup.

Well Paul messed up just this once. Too bad dying is his lesson. No backsies.

Yeah, right, sucker! Think you were a tough guy and made Dekko the Gecko accept your terms?
Look to your right, big fool, and see the frogman sneaking up on you. Your day is darkening.
