Artistically, this is one of Jeff’s better ones. I love the glass cleaning of the forth wall…I don’t see that in other ’toons…

Of course, Ashburn…never doubt. If you’ve ever cruised through DARPA’s requests for proposals you already know how assiduously the “agencies” prowl facebook and ALL the other ‘social’ media for info for dossiers.
Privacy is SUCH an outmoded ocncept.

@AshburnStadium: Do you have any idea how many hoops the police need to jump through to use fingerprints? Once, our house was burgled. The police came by and dusted for prints. We had a suspect, and the police had his fingerprints on record from a previous arrest. They still weren’t allowed to cross-check the prints they found with the ones on file— All they were able to do was if other houses in the neighborhood got robbed, they could compare the prints from the different crime scenes to link them.If they can’t even compare a crime scene to a suspect on file, what makes you think they can dip into the schoolchildren records?Oh, and Facebook et al isn’t a violation of privacy, either. If you don’t want the world to learn something, then you don’t put it on Facebook. It’s simple.

@GatoCat;“Give it up, guys. There is no privacy. Everything there is to know about us is known.”
True that… Except for cops and crypto-crackers… The rest of us fill out forms, qualify as historian/genealogists, send a large check, wait a few months and wind up with info on somebody ‘with a similar name’.. Pah, Foo and Fie.

Always love Frazz. The window thing cool but really love the raspberries/cold connection! Gross. I always wipe off stuff like phones if there are kids around.

Thanks, Frazz! My screen was getting a little dirty there.
