When was “medicinal marijuana” legalized? Cornell might just get a break here.

Recreational pot is legal in half the states these days (no, I never partook), and most of the harm to the country is from an Adderall adict these treacherous modern times…..

A reference to “The Green Mile” by Stephen King?

Or “The Problem of Cell 13” by Jacques Futrell?

A mouse figures in both stories.

Cornell in the last panel…

Does Cornell even speak French?

They probably took his passport, otherwise I’d be on a plane to somewhere that won’t extradite.

Anybody remember a Batman villaincalled “Ratcatcher”?

Are you some kind of joker?

Well, maybe, if Yoda was stoned ! ;-)

An old buddy of mine used to be a “Glades Runner” in Florida, back in the late 70s. Eventually, his luck ran out and he wound up doing a couple of years in a Federal slam for “smuggling contraband”.

Flash forward 10 years later when I ran into him again, he was a senior DEA agent. I was not only surprised but amazed that given his record and reputation, the government would hire him. He told me that he was one of their top recruitment choices. He was hired under the ITAT program – It Takes A Thief.

He’s like if Yoda was stoned 24/7/365

Work on your meditation.
