    Interesting pennant in the background. It keeps changing allegiances.

    A government agent also has to be able to think quickly—something Jeff can’t do, since he has no brains!

    The tux was just for James Bond, a fictional character who worked for the fictional ‘M16’. Real CIA employees wear a white or blue oxford shirt, khakis and a loose tie…

    OK, I’ve been reading this arc for several days now, and I’m wondering how this strip could have been copyrighted in 2001. In August, 9/11 hadn’t happened yet. Something’s screwy here…

    Not a tux, but maybe a jaunty turban. And sunglasses.

    I love how the CIA banner changes to an FBI one in the fourth frame.

    Is this the genesis of the Red Rascal?

    Accessing a cave, overpowering guards and neutralizing a target is done by our military’s Special Mission Units, sometimes with intel from a CIA operative.

    How’s that “inserting the Shah of Iran” thing working out?

    Why does the text on the banner behind them change three times?

    neighbor, retired intelligence, said he got followed by spooks every day. the breaker was when he went fishing in the smoky mountains. he stopped on the first day, and said he’d wait while they soaked their blistered feet in a stream. yeh. black suits, sunglasses, florsheims, hardly stood out. he hadn’t seen them since.
