Jason: Well, this is the last of it. Andy: You're sure? I'm not going to find any more of these Halloween tricks of yours hidden somewhere? Jason: Nope. I sweeped the house twice. This load of rubber ghouls from the linen closet is the last of my arsenal. Andy: What about any things you might have planted outside the house? Jason: Now that you mention it, there was that fake corpse I put in Dad's car. Andy: Where? In the front seat? The back seat? Police Officer: Sir, are you aware that there's a shoelace dangling from your trunk? Roger: No problem, officer. Let's open it up and find out why.

You would think with a family like his he would be more cautious to open anything.

Sweeped?

^Yeah, I caught that too. Hey are you in Herkimer, NY? You know about Herkimer diamonds?

“Sweeped”…. Jason is bi-lingual like me. We both speak English and Bad-English.

Roger got pulled over for a shoe lace hanging out of his trunk?!? The Fox’s either live in a Utopian perfect city where just a dangling shoelace is a crime -or- the police are WAY out of control, pulling folks over for shoelaces and letting the reckless, speeding illegals with no license, insurance or registration whiz past them while finishing their beer and firing their 9mm at enemy bangers.
Or Roger just picked a bad time to run afoul of the traffic code…

I saw a guy driving a car with a fake foot hanging out of the trunk. At least, I think it was fake. Many examples on the web, such as: http://tinyurl.com/fake-foot

He opens the trunk and the policeman thinks “oh, it’s that guy’s dad.”

Herkimer Misanthrope Harknfarph is a Nom de Plume that I have used for many years. I have never been to New York and know nothing about Herkimer diamonds. Sorry!
Rakkav about 15 years ago
“Johanan Rakkav” is a nom de plume I’ve used for years too, but at least it makes sense in its own language.
I think in your case you have a nom de guerre. :))

If I were a villain, I’d want to have a nom-de-terreur. But that’s beside the point.
Y’know, Roger will probably be just fine. Unless Jason did something really evil and put a ‘Hoffa’ nametag on the fake corpse or something. Haha! But what are the chances of… that… happening…
Been nice knowin’ ya, Mr. Fox. See you in twenty to life. (I love his happy, unwitting expression in the last panel there.)
