FAMOUS COSTUMED CRIMEFIGHTERS SCHOOLBoca Raton, FLLesson #29: Leaving Evidence (On Purpose and Otherwise)Usually, if you’re going to use deadly force, leaving a “calling card” of sorts is not a good idea, as anything can turn out to be evidence if you’re not careful about it. That being said, symbolic identifications can run the gamut from actual calling cards, such as “Caught by your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man” (P. Parker, class of ‘62), to the extravagant leaving of silver bullets (D. Reid [?], Class of ’33). One enterprising crusader uses an impression of a skull in villains’ jaws from a ring on his punching hand. (Walker Family, Class of ‘36).In the depicted case, footwear is obviously not meant to be used for this purpose as – despite their being too small for the sidekick’s feet – the authorities can get all kinds of leads on the partner thanks to modern forensic techniques. Not to mention the fact that, as a calling card, it’s a bit… unusual: “Who were those masked people? I don’t know, but they left a pair of kids’ boots!” (If the prospective hero would have taken care with this seemingly insignificant detail earlier, he would not have this problem now.)
Morning, Anniephans!Very true, Scot! Annie told him quite plainly that the things didn’t fit and he simply paid no attention.And in today’s world, there would be DNA on those boots.
Here’s the link to the 2006 Annie story, “What Bugs You.”
Good morning Annie fans.-——@davidf42: and the police may find out that they belong to Annie who has been considered lost and dead. Maybe using the bullets they can find the owner of the rifle also.-——Be happy and healthy my friends.
I enjoy reading the Crimefighters manual every time I read the strip. Keep ’em coming, TXPAScot!
I liked the “calling card” bit, especially the skull-ring description of “The Phantom.” But this PC doesn’t seem to use calling cards…his victims end up dead!
Now his JC has left her boots at the scene. Hopefully that bumbling sheriff would find it as a clue to their whereabouts.
