Synchronicity II

Another police “Sting”?

Thanks for the earworm. At least it’s not a bad song!

How much longer can they keep up this Sockness gag?

Robb, I like how you drew panels 3-7. Reminds me of Bill Watterson’s Spaceman Spiff style. Kudos!

Scottish Loch????

Interesting how a policeman would sing a song by The Police!

So I’m assuming Joe’s favorite band is the police?

The band called The Police

Good thing they didn’t get further into that song. “Syncronicity II” if you weren’t familiar. https://genius.com/The-police-synchronicity-ii-lyrics

[Verse 1]Another suburban family morningGrandmother screaming at the wallWe have to shout aboveThe din of our Rice KrispiesWe can’t hear anything at all

[Pre-Chorus]Mother chants her litanyOf boredom and frustrationBut we know all her suicides are fakeDaddy only stares into the distanceThere’s only so much more that he can take

[Chorus]Many miles away, etc.

Many miles away, there’s a shadow on the door… of a cottage on the shore… of a dark… Scottish lake… Many miles away!

Tsk, tsk, Using Stinging remarks in front of the kids.

Surprised Mortimer did not get canine sense about the Sockness sock.

What’s your point?
