Sorry for the slight delay folks. I appreciate your patience with me getting this week’s TOACM posted. I’d rather take my time and make it the best comic I can rather than just throw something out there that I’m not pleased with.
That being said, let’s take a look at this week’s strip. You may remember that we last saw Sgt. Mulveny way back on 4/7/2011 in TOACM #106 “Pretty Please” where he and Penelope had a little chat in an old diner he bought, with plans to restore it, now that he’s retired.
We also see the (working) logo (top left) for the Exotic City Wildcats football team! Mulveny is a big fan and was quite the football stud back in his youth. I named the team after the classic JSA character, Wildcat, who happens to be a favorite of mine. The Exotic City Wildcats is also the name of my fantasy football team in a league that Brandon (one of our wonderful webmasters) runs.
Thanks again and enjoy!

I like the Wildcats logo. And Mulveny’s head shape! Looks like our hero has an ally!
Awesome. As always, I love your shadow work, Denver. And your word balloons are top notch–rare in the webcomic world.
I never do this, but I can’t help it this time because I can see it so clearly and it’s awesome in my head. Rather than leaving the 5th panel silent (because it doesn’t really read that way with the disembodied word balloon right next to it), what about if Murphy’s line “Who can keep track these days?” was brought over from the fourth panel and into the 5th? To me, it would read so cool.
Sorry for the unsolicited advice. You’re clearly a pro and don’t need it from me, but I couldn’t help it.
In any case, love the comic.
Thanks for the comment, Brock! Nice suggestion! I like it!
Interesting setup.
I like Murphy’s scrunched up hairy face.
Thanks Bruce! He’s been a fun character to evolve visually.
Love the characters, the textury goodness, that you used frak, and that Billy Dee Williams sorta makes an appearance.
Aw, yer makin’ me blush you old smoothy you…
Fantastic page as usual. Next up? The LECTURE!
LOL! Thanks! Yeah, it’d be safe to assume Mulveny isn’t very pleased by all this.
I wish detectives in the real world still wore fedoras. It really should be a requirement.
-sigh- I 100% agree…
