I hate this strip and wish every character were dead.

Don't forget that they established the sniper as being too far away for them to hear his shots.

Which would be at least a mile or two, because guns are loving LOUD.

The odds of her making a pinpoint shot at anywhere near that distance with a military-issue pistol are as microscopic as McEldowney coming to the realization of what a pretentious rear end he is.

Yöpaita, a nightgown or a nightie is literally translated as "night shirt". The text on the shirt is the name of a mainstream light rock band , "Night", although a Night shirt would be written as Yö-paita. The joke is old and bad.

Eh. First off, I dunno if there's a better name for that hatch thing. I guess there must be. Second, there apparently is a joke here other than smoking weed through a hatch meant for removing smoke during a fire, but it's still dumb so whatever.

I could get behind something like this. It's made completely clear that TJ is committing insurance fraud and Brad knows this, but chooses not to rat on his best friend. TJ's claim is approved and he gets away with it, but Brad never feels the same way about TJ again. As a firefighter, Brad has seen first-hand what horrific damage a fire can do, not only to property, but to people, and he just can't square himself with the idea that his friend intentionally caused an explosion in a public area with innocent adults and little children around. He keeps his mouth shut to help his friend, but the friendship is destroyed. TJ, who never quite understands why Brad has been so chilly lately, is eventually transitioned out of the strip.

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure TJ was destined to be innocent whether he was busted for insurance fraud or not.

Chatu had his men blow up the building where Phantom's wife works, kidnap her, and throw her into a hard labor prison while everyone else believed her to be dead.

His endgame was to contact the Phantom again years or even decades down the road, when he and his family have had time to grieve and come to terms with their loss.

"Hey Phantom, remember how you thought your wife was dead all this time? Actually she was suffering in a prison just a few hundred miles from your home. All these years you could've come and saved her at any time. She was probably expecting you to ride in and bust her out any day now. Well, right up until she died this morning, I guess."

That's not the sort of guy you punch just once.

Maybe TJ did blow it up, but doesn't get caught because Inspector Danger is the only force preventing insurance fraud, and he isn't in Luann?

They went to confront the Python over his failed plot to escape after kidnapping the president, and then Python took a swing at Phantom. The Phantom didn't start the fight (well, he did kinda provoke it by being a smug rear end in a top hat, but that's been Phantom standard for a while now).
