Hopefully they can escape back into prison since the island lacks a few things, like food and water. Maybe this is the “let-them-die” solution to prison overpopulation.
Not everyone that came to the North American colonies were pilgrims. 50,000 indentured British convicts were sent to NA in the 1700’s, prior to the American Revolution, representing 1/4 of the emigrants. After the revolution, England switched to using Australia. Guess this explains why New England was run by British governors (wardens) for so long… Info c/o wikipedia.
This is the third Sunday in a row that this strip has shown up in my email all jacked up. It’s over-sized and fuzzy. WTF?! What’s going on over there at Go Comics that you people can’t seem to get things right. If I’m going to pay you money for the convenience of having my favorite strips delivered to me email than I expect to have it done right. Subscribing to you service isn’t a necessity it’s a convenience I could easily live without!!!!! Now get it right.

This reminds me of a Monty Python skit with a bunch of milkmen held captive in a room.

Not an original idea either. England helped colonize Australia that way.

That tunnel and hatch look expensive. 36 grain 22 cal is only $.04.

“Not everyone that came to the North American colonies were pilgrims.
Ex: those who were forcibly brought here from Africa. An escape hatch would’ve come in handy…
