Safe bet that they’ll think you crackers

What are we gonna do if they’ve lost the safe? Raid each other’s fridge??

Good morning, crew!

BUTTER FINGERS !!!

Isn’t that the same safe that they keep stealing from one another? They have to be much more careful with such a valuable item! Maybe members of Henry’s crew were cloy enough to butter up the safe themselves to make it harder to handle, though the results of such a genius move show that everyone loses. They need to learn to bolt that safe down to the floor. Oh…but wait…that would make it much harder to steal…what was I thinking?

I’d hate to think this comic strip will have no longer have the green ship as an antagonist because Henry no longer has a safe to steal!

They have diving gear. They’ll be able to retrieve it.

Good morning Crew!

Grease? You can say the word, you know. It’s called “butter”.

I laugh heartily

Nate could easily dive in, fight off a few sharks and retrieve it.

Just say a shark poked his head up and scared you.

Once upon a time I was running a tabletop role-playing game campaign, and had gone to the store with two of my players to purchase the snacks for that night’s game.

I had to talk one of the two out of purchasing microwave popcorn by explaining that we’d be working with paper all night – rule books, character sheets, tokens, and so on – and that microwave popcorn would ruin everything by way of the oils and butter on our fingers.

If memory serves, after a while we basically just made do with sandwiches and beverage mix powder for most games since it was cheap and could be bought in bulk.

Oop-sie …

I hope, for their sake, that the safe was empty. However, for our sake, maybe payback has struck?

Good Evening, Crew.

Butter fingers.

Good night,Crew !
