Joe: So...your real name is Ray Kelly Ray: correct. "Ray Ramsey" was an alias I used to elude capture. Had to stop using it when some low-life stole my identity! Im finally free today officer Cobb! Ray you've been out of prison for months. Ray: my ankle bracelet comes off today! Can you imagine every move being tracked day and night? UH huh. Im a cop with a wife and four kids! Ha! Good one. How are you going to the parole office? Aw man! The blizzard! No public transit tonight, ray. I'll take you to precinct, Captain Ruiz can remove it. I hope captain ruiz doesn't mind doing this! and i hope all this snow melts by tomorrow.

It seems like this guy will be a recurring character.

Considering how far most strips are drawn in advance, Robb sure nailed the timing of the blizzard.

Oustanding timing, as said above. I’d love to hear from Robb Armstrong about that.

I created this strip just after Christmas 2015. Got really lucky with the timing of the real-life blizzard. Almost hate saying " I got lucky" because the storm claimed four lives. I’ll just say that sometimes, JumpStart proves to be prescient.

@Robb Armstrong, thank you—I was wondering how you’d managed to nail that timing. And thank you for a lovely strip today. Might have actually wiped a small tear here. Well done.

Two great jokes: an ex-con who’s identity was stolen, and a man with a wife and four kids being like a man with a tracker anklet.
