Ok, I’m slow. I didn’t realise that it was a Mission Impossible reference.

Which movie would we be on when this was first published? I’m thinking that Tom Cruise must have been doing them longer than any James Bond.

So—Duke went through all that trouble for nothing—except to look ridiculous!

I thought it was a “Topkapi” reference?

The Eagle has landed? Or the Oozlum is amongst us once again?

MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN

Duke is a bit ahead of the program.

Duke better hurry—-all the gin and tonic is rushing to his head

Is Duke even in the right building?

Also, there’s a laminated piece of paper there with all the passwords and escape routes.

Duke always had more Inspector Clouseau in him than the Phantom…..

Regrettably, despite that passage of over 2 decades since this strip first ran, and despite massive advances in computer security, physical accessibility to the goodies is still a huge vulnerability for most commercial operations.

Pass !

Duke’s way was a lot more fun.

That’s right…! Take all the fun out of this!
