So, there were five siblings. I guess we’ve now got a definitive number for those siblings. The fact that he says “none of your business” means that maybe he knows when she was due to get out. I’m sure that Tracy can trace her down, but she wouldn’t necessarily have been booked under her nickname.
That’s tellin’ ‘em, B.T. ! Would Tracy of old have kicked ol’ orange top right ‘n the ’nards’ ? LOL ! ‘Nice’ family portrait and very well graphicked anger. Admirable how Tracy keeps his cool in P.3. Harvey Bullock would have got right up in that mug’s face .. just shy of re arranging it.
“You’re the Grim Reaper to our family”. Unseen thought bubble " I wish we could sue you for “emotional distress”. Good luck trying to collect, Tracy has the law on his side.
“Have a nice day, Blowtop”. Ooh Tracy, you are so wrong, rubbing Blowtop’s nose in what you did to his family. Then on second thought you could have played the dozens on him and said " at least my family’s not dysfunctional".
So, Poptop gets quotes, meaning I guess that it’s not his real name, but none of the others do? Those are their real actual first names? I guess Poptop and Momtop thought “Why change a winning trend.”
Is it just me or should Tracy not have known more about the Jones family than the newspaper reporter? Should he not have already found out about Croptop before going to see her brother? In a police interview, it’s helpful to already know the answer before you ask some questions.
Well I now have my suspicions confirmed in the last panel as to why this guy is named Blowtop. Of course the red hair was also a clue. My family is of Irish descent, and I also earned the red hair trait, although it gradually darkened to auburn, and now of course it’s white! (Sorry for the tmi!)
Man, Blowtop, if I were you I would’ve kept quiet about the fact that you’ve been robbing banks (since that’s illegal) and freely offered any information you had about Croptop’s release date (since that’s information that a police officer could easily obtain from the prison system anyway). Not my business I realize but that’s just my suggestion!
none of your business? she’s a convicted felon, it literally is his business. her fav food or bra size is not his business, when she is at liberty most defiantly is.

In our state, you can look up any inmate’s release date (if they have one) online if you know their first and last name or inmate number.
