    What’s the caliber of the bullet?

    That’s classified. We just call it X caliber.

    i thought it needed a safer latch,

    and made a brief case for it…

     

    But the men on the team had a strong Bond,

    and a view to a kill.

    “It will fire a single bullet”. In which direction?

    Such a great setup, and I can’t come up with a single pun. Glad to see others aren’t afflicted like that.

    Q gets right to the point and OO7 cuts the quip to a fine razor sharpness as per usual.

    Here I come to spoil the puns

    Bond was issued the attache case, a standard-issue kit for agents in the field, in the movie adaptation of “From Russia With Love”. In the movie, the case didn’t fire any bullets but held a rife and rounds (along with other items). Bond didn’t start his humorous back-and-forth with Q until the following movie, “Goldfinger”. Of special note, the character of Q was created for the films and did not exist in the novels. The closest character from the novels was the armorer – Major Boothroy (or Boothroyd) – seen in M’s office in “Dr. No”.

    You may not go back to enjoying the strip. Lol!
