Reminds me of when J. Edgar Hoover “captured” Alvin “Creepy” Karpis all by himself… with about a dozen agents having surrounded and grabbed Karpis first and then told Hoover it was safe to come out. And none of them, not Hoover or any of the dozen FBI agents with him had thought to bring any handcuffs so they had to use an agent’s tie to restrain the prisoner.
The Gasoline Alley strip started before I was born but I read it occasionally during the 50s and 60s but actually I remember very little about this. Dad may have read this strip and recalled how Warden Gordon would crack his knuckles. When I took this habit up in my teens Dad would get quite angry with me. Too bad I can’t question Dad about this because he’s been gone since 1980.

Pffft! You don’t think he’s going to give the guards any credit, do you?

Yup, and he never lied before, either.
