@Number Three Today’s strip is slightly funny our Hero Mr Andrew Capp , sober again , is getting impatient with the coppers playing the good cop , bad cop game , they are going to make him miss valuable boozing time:o) my avatar is a picture of a guy shooting his alarm clock which is what i feel like doing with mine because iwakes me up just as soon as I manage to doze off after a sleepless night , but my better half vetoed that idea :o) how was your day? , ours should be busy but calm I hope after the hectic day we had yesterday,we miss your comments Starlet , hope to be SYNU soon pal
The “good cop” is worse than the “bad cop”. Both cops are trying to get the suspect to confess whether he/she is guilty or not but the “good cop” is pretending to be sympathetic to the suspect. Many innocent suspects have made false confessions to the “good cop”.
Today’s punchline comes in the middle of the one-panel strip so we see it before we see all of today’s strip. Indeed, we can read both speech balloons before we see the whole strip.
When I was 11 years old, I had a small reel-to-reel tape recorder that looked very much like the unit sitting on the table between our antagonists. Hartlepool PD has state-of-the-art technology, I see. Just like in 1966!
A late friend of mine was an excellent detective and gained fame as an interrogation closer and a teacher/author on police interrogation techniques and psychology.
One of his famous opening lines dealing with a suspect ( which subsequently made it into television cop lore ) was definitely disarming for the perp. He’d stride into the interview room ( all 6’ 4" 260 lbs. of him ) and announce to the suspect:
“Good Cop and Bad Cop have left the building. God help you … you’ve got me!”
Single file once again yet again…….I MIGHT have to switch over to comics created by people who have discovered that tricky little thing, perspective…….

Good or bad doesn’t matter if he’s guilty.
