Larry Kleen may be an obsessive hand-washing germophobe, but he’s a lawyer, so I already mistrust him. More so, because he’s defending that scummy DoubleUp who tried to do in Lizz!
Boy, Mr Crime really has his act together. Very frustrating events for our heroes but it makes for great storytelling. I wonder when the MCS will figure out that there’s a kingpin pulling the strings.
A slimey criminal attorney named Mr. Kleen? It makes sense Mr. Crime would have somebody like him on the payroll.Special kudos on Shane’s colors & shadings (they give nice depth to an inaction segment), and Jim’s “Hall of Fame” (I’d never heard of her).Thanks again, Team Tracy!
Mike was kind enough to give me an advance look at the dailies for the end of the month. People are going to LOVE them. A sidekick character from a very famous strip shows up. Some of the stuff in the backgrounds of those panels is priceless. Look forward to it!

what does double up (who is brand spanking new to me) have to do with blackjack? are they both employed by mr crime? theres been so many twists and turns lately that i am beginning to get lost. like i sad before i rejoined the MCS at the end of the abner kadaver storyline.. then we got putty puss for a few weeks which was pushed aside for cueball then (very nicely i may add) tied back into putty puss, then we got the mole returning and the intro of thunderchild which seeminly came out fo nowhere, then the “one off appaearance” by vitamin flintheart and the wrap up of thunderchild, then next we get the intro of fritz ann and blackjack only to get throwninto a court scene?!? theres been more curves lately than in the sports illustrated swimsuit issue!
Actually, the current Mr. Clean character is based upon a fireman from Moore, Oklahoma. He was chosen after a nationwide search back in the late 80’s I believe. I actually met him once. He was doing some sheet-rock work on a new strip mall. Shame he had to pull two jobs, but wanted the money. This new slimeball (lawyer) looks more like him than the cleaning pitchman.

So Mr. Kleen lives up to his name, I see.

A germophobic lawyer? Mr. Crime knows how to pick ’em. And good morning to you, margueritem.

Mr. Kleen looks a lot like Lex Luthor!

Kleen had better be brilliant because what juror could look at DoubleUp and see an innocent man?

I hate to say this in light of the above comments but, very nice and “clean” art work today.

Don’t forget your head Larry. We wouldn’t want any of that nasty, dirty hair growing on it.

This DoubleUp fellow reminds me of the rock penguins I once saw at the Boston Aquarium.
brinrik over 12 years ago
At least there is one lawyer with “clean hands”. Also, it doesn’t appear that he uses amphibian wax like Cueball.
sjsczurek over 12 years ago
Rock penguins – they have tufts of feathers over the eyes… look sort of manic.

I guess Doubleup wasn’t charged with the murder of that young lady.

This DoubleUp character looks a lot like Paulie Walnuts of ‘Sopranos’ fame…

So that’s what Mr. Clean does when he’s not selling his cleanser, he’s a ciminal lawyer!
therese_callahan2002 over 12 years ago
He’s setting a good example. Everyone should carry their own hand sanitizer.

If truth be told, I am the real Mr. Kleen. Mr. Staton outed my alter ego. Now don’t touch me.

Where is his earring? I remember a Mrs. Egghead back in the early 60’s.

He looks more like Lex Luthor than Egghead.
