It's not my favorite either, but I'd say go for it. We came in during the last act of this story arc...maybe it's more interesting when we can tell what's going on?

Modesty Blaise


Ugh, of all the dumb things to make me think a comic is dated. Yes, of course she's around 130, that's about what you'd expect given Modesty's height and build. But in modern terms that practically sounds obese for an action heroine.


I have to admit- I never really got that characters like Tiffany and Dirk were being portrayed that badly, since it's been pretty easy to do positive reads on their last few appearances. But this? I have absolutely nothing for this.

That's too easy for Slylock.
The real answer is that the thief was a raccoon, and the police arrested him for flashing around more money than they thought any raccoon could obtain through legal means.
He was sentenced to three to four years on charges of resisting arrest, and his theft of the money from the other criminal was never discovered by authorities.

:confused:

The joke, insofar as you can call it that, is that a piece of music, most likely this one, is so uplifting that it literally, physically lifts you off the ground. So much so that a description of it after the fact still has the power to do that. I like a good piano tune as much as the next guy, but this is a joke that is only going to work once even on the limited audience who will know what it's about, and Brooke has used it three times in a row because he wants to REALLY EMPHASIZE that he knows what a Debussy Arabesque is and that if you don't you just aren't classy enough to be reading his comic.

I've changed my mind. The joke is that he gets paid to do this. The joke is on all of us.
