This is a strange one; Kerouac style. Jamie and Alan enter the comic strip and tell the story as they bumble through it. They encounter a car wreck and soon find Tanky and Booga (presumed survivors). They offer them a ride. Tanky befriends Alan. The next day Tanky holds up a store at gunpoint which ignites and interesting recanting of an ensuing killing spree.

They pick up a friend of Tanky's at a restaurant and they all head out to hitch a ride in the pouring rain. A loon, with a bigger gun, steals their clothes and money. They decide to take refuge, or possibly begin living, in a nearby park. Booga suggests the allure of tennis and picnics.

The cops show up and Tanky outwits tem with the clwver use of an axe.

 
  • Nope.

  • Tanky goes on a killing spree of seemingly innocent people, but (as always) has a unique rationale.
  • Tanky takes out a few cops with an axe.

  • Sorry.

  • Dry... again.
