His dastardly plan worked…..

Devonshade you must be reading a different strip. I don’t see any of this here…..

Well he’s obviously not a “good union man” any more – he’s an old-lady killer, thug and thief. Probably the money is better, but I’m not impressed by his choices.

Seek and ye shall find !

If your obssesion in life is finding right wing, blood sucking “ticks”, and you search your dog real hard, you may just find one before nightfall.

While the left wing ones running around may be out of the spotlight and near invisible hiding in the shade.

Shouyld be easy to get an image from the security camera on the door.

“Speeding”?

Lumbering would be more like it. 25-30 might be max speed 15 - 20 would be controllable.

..because they just couldn’t follow the speedy loader to get him when he jumped out…

Mall you say….hmmmm. easy to find this guy.

Many people in this mall you could eliminate as suspects. screaming kids punk teenagers soccar moms on cell phones Husbands dressed in crappy clothes dragged out shoppin elderly bench sitters miserable employees fat people at various restaurants

THis guy obvoisly is in a suit (one people say changed colors) and will need to get out of it. look in the clothes stores near the dressing room. He had to get out of his clothes as they may be greasy and smell like bulldozer and B.O. (ever been in a bulldozer?)

speaking of which, doesnt any of thes cops have a K9 dog?

Who could ever spot a guy that ran into a mall wearing a suit and tie and waiving a gun, after jumping of a gigantic red bulldozer?

He just needs to reach the Old Navy store before anyone spots him.

(And stop your whining about the bulldozer!)

Oh come, on. They couldn’t follow that machine? They couldn’t keep enough cops there to force the driver to stay in the cab, or risk getting into a gun battle?

I still think he stole Imogenes bills.

Warbucks Annie and Sandy must be off for Thanksgiving this week

They couldn’t catch the nondozer? Were they driving in neutral? How about locking down the mall, and having the captured accomplish ID him in exchange for leniency.

Searching the web for definitions of “bulldozer” reveals the following: (1) although the word is generally applied to the earth-moving tractors with continuous treads, it need not be restricted to treaded (as opposed to wheeled) vehicles, and (2) if you want to be persnickety, the original term applied to the blade rather than the vehicle, and only by extension became attached to the vehicle with the attached (pun intended) blade. Even if the depicted shovel is more bucket-like than the wider and shorter blades you usually associate with ‘dozing, the artist obviously INTENDS for it to be considered a bulldozer, moving around and leveling dirt on a construction site. As for speed, the depicted tractor has large enough wheels to cover ground quite fast if the driver was gunning the engine and not worrying about safety considerations.

Stop whining!

Morning, Anniephans!

Oh shoot, oh heck, oh darn.

But there should be fingerprints or other clues in the ’dozer to ID him with. Then get his most recent mug shot to all available officers.
