Well here's your next dose of pain.

Since when did Zark wear Mickey Mouse gloves?

Umm. . . maybe he decided he doesn't want to leave any more fingerprints at the crime scene. Squint

What happened to Mark and Tiny's capes in panel 6? Did they shrink?

The capes look like part of a costume from a 1940's film version of "The Three Musketeers"! Musketeer

Um.... bad application of perspective on the part of the artists?

I think Zark's revealing his priorities here -apparently Jason and Keyop are merely "and co."

 


Posted by Transmute Jun on 02-02-2012 at 14:25:

I noticed that too! And why wouldn't he say 'Jason and Co.', seeing as Jason is actually the highest ranking officer amongst that group?

The whole thing reminds me of Gilligan's Island, how in the first season the theme song said 'and the rest' when they were just talking about the Professor and Maryann. Roll

The 'and co.' phrasing... I've heard it before, but it doesn't sound natural. Why not 'Princess and the others'? Is 'and co.' a British phrase that's used more frequently than it is here?

Also, seeing it again... has Tiny lost weight?

As far as I know, the 'and co' prefix is usually associated with businesses, not teams of people.

The only exception I can think of is "Legs and Co" a dance troupe frequently featured on Top of the Pops, who often had to stand in for absent bands/ artists by performing (often risqué) routines to their music. They were popular during the late '70, until the creation of music videos made them surplus to requirement.

Maybe they meant to write "pick up Princess and GO". The first time I read it (okay, it was after a long day), I thought it said "go" and I was trying to figure out what the "co" was, then looked again. Look

Yeah, I can see that, especially when you remember some of the other typos. ("7-Mark-7" comes to my mind right away.)

That makes more sense... except... why would they only pick up Princess? Would Jason and Keyop be left behind?
