    Good morning™, Camera Shy Guys !

    Aaaah, the realm of science fiction is being tickled. The alien tech makes this a credible Moon people story. I would definitely have covert cameras going because after he takes out all the usual ones he would still be recorded, with the confidence he is not being watched.

    Bonus !  A 4 panel day. :-) :-D

    How many cameras are fake ? I think Diet Smith would have more technological advanced hidden cameras .

    None of this makes sense.

    Why haven’t they already detained Moonieboy?

    Why give him the chance to roam the grounds??

    An unidentified sliding saucer. I like it.

    Good morning™, everyone!

    That’s pretty clever putting out a decoy to attract the motion-seeking cameras, but as I was saying above, the whole attention-attracting thing is likely to get him caught. (I discovered tonight that my reminder alarm for the new strip got turned off somehow. I might start posting earlier now.)

    Isn’t it wonderful that in addition to not providing sufficient security to monitor a dangerous criminal they also failed to search him for any tools / weapons he might be carrying?

    Ro-zan, shuffleboard rules require the use of a cue to shoot the disc. You can’t just toss down the lane.

    He throws the thing into the room—doesn’t slide it, flings it, the art clearly shows he doesn’t bend down. Then he apparently just leaps over right next to it a fraction of a second. What is this going to accomplish, exactly?

    Next strip shows Tracy watching him on the cameras, also trying to figure out what he thinks he’s doing. Ro-Zan is a screwup, honestly he should be used as a distraction by the real villain. Now that would be a story.

    I think the cameras would see the disk, and then him, unless I am missing something!

    I would not be surprised if this is all a trap to catch him in the act and put him away for a long while. But on the other hand…. I could be completely off base and his next stop is a Pawn shop for a gun….lol

    2-: YUM! This snail cookie I found in my pocket will hit the spot!

    3-: DANG IT! IT’S STILL ALIVE!!!

    4-: Hmmmm. 5 second rule still applies. GET IN MY MOUTH, SNAIL COOKIE!

    That thing isn’t a frisbee , it’s a Roomba . Look at its little headlight in the third panel . It’s scurrying around catching the attention of the motion seeking cameras and cleaning up Ro-Zan’s footprints at the same time .

    Are you sure that is what we Terrans always say, RoZan? I don’t recall ever saying that.

    Well,I’ve been away 9 days and Moonboy is still a sneak—-not that I’m shocked.

    I guess they’re trying to give him enough rope to hang himself.

    Old fashioned file cabinets???? Well,I guess computer entry would be detected too soon for the sake of the plot

    No armed guards outside the guest house? Wouldn’t the key pads be designed to lock people out rather than to lock people in? After all, there needs to be an escape in the event of a fire. So, if you’re going to detain someone, you need live guards.

    Curtis has set a well-planned stage, thus far. No plot problems yet!

    Panel two: Rose An’s antenna/horns look like distended eye stalks. Makes him look like Hawthorne the crab from Sherman’s Lagoon.

    However, to his eternal dismay, the light frequency was identical to the famed Red Dot, and he was subsequently swamped by mobs of cats which held him until the authoritiees could arrive.

    CURSE that cat allergy! (kerCHOOOOOO)

    Four panels today that tell a fuller, more detailed episode without the usual whining about space restrictions and incomplete information in an invisible fourth panel. Bravo Charles Ettinger. You are telling the story without any loss of details and giving us much better context with your illustrations even in 4 slightly smaller panels. It is a refreshing change from the single panel and two panel days where nothing happens.

    As that looneytune comic strip collector illustrated,the way to take down a Moon person is to keep them isolated from the sun so they can’t recharge their powers
