LOL

That'll do cartoonist, that'll do.

Umm, is the speech bubble following that he loves mugging people, or that he stands corrected?

Donald Sutherland, too.

It's still here. Directly to the right of the "previous instructions" bar, from MetaCafe. For the Buick Regal.

I'm afraid I don't quite understand the "As do I" comment. What is cartoon Scott claiming he stands corrected on?

I'm sure I've had this conversation at some point

Sorry, ads? What are they?

The third panel makes me think about bestiality. I should get help.

It's so true, too. James Cromwell has to be the most innocent and kindly looking guy to ever play the villain in 1,098,437,509,876,095,476,076,056 different movies.

Why do I get the feeling that "As do I" on the subject of a serial mugging film sounds like "That sucked"...

I haven't been able to keep up with my webcomics/webseries' lately due to a ridiculous work schedule. So today (my day off), I sat on the computer for several hours doing just that. I just for the first time read this and the past few comics, and now I'm in a good mood.

That is exactly how I solve Crime Drama, only you've made it funny!
Kudos

easy way to find the villan in american movies is to look for the british actor/ress 9/10 its them

Initially read the title as "How to Spot the Bald Guy". That woulda been a pretty short comic.

Nice Scott, thnx!

Buh...but... didn't James Cromwell save humanity in "Star Trek: First Contact"? Or was that all a devious plot, which was only hinted at in the seemingly heroic plot of the film?

Gasp... Zefram Cochrane, secret agent for nefaroius aliens???

Imagine walking through a dark alley, only to come across a disheveled Cromwell demanding your wallet. Staring at you with buggy cocaine eyes and grabbing at your murse with his disturbingly lanky arms...

Is he saying "as do I" to the love of mugging, or the standing corrected??

Yeah, you'd wonder when you're going to see the first episode plot where the investigation that was actually the result of precise police work and no plot turns or freak occurrence of some misplaced item.

Since we're still unsure of the wording of the last bubble, I thought I'd point out that "I've always loved mugging people" and "as do I" have different tenses (if that's the correct term for it). So perhaps Scott was replying to his wife's comment rather than the TV.

Scott may typo sometimes, but seriously, he's pretty careful with grammar. The punchline frequently relies on it.

Livestock farmers practice animal husbandry. Does that clear things up?

I thought the "As do I" was in reference to that you love mugging people too....ah, I guess I stand corrected

Ok, so if Cromwell is in a movie with Ray Wise and there's no possible way there were two villains, how do you determine which one did it?

Is there some sort of prize if I got the "as do I" joke without the explanation? Great strip as always. :-)

It's still autoplaying. It's a Buick commercial video.

People didn't get the "As do I" joke? Oh, Scott, you really didn't need to appease the masses in that way...

BTW, I love your strip. It brightens my week up so much!

Hahahahaha, this had me chuckling for quite a while before i scrolled down to read the author's notes, and i have to say that this comic was confusing in no way to me. In fact, it is confusing how this comic can be confusing. ?:3

I read that as "How to spot the BALD guy" and was suspecting a comic about wigs :(

I'm fairly certain that my wife and I have had this exact conversation.

And Cromwell does do a good villain. Check out his IMDB file

Don't feel like a cryptic failure. (Or a successful cryptic). I got the joke about standing corrected. =) (it only took me 15 seconds of pondering and rereading, but boy, I got it)

If it makes you feel better, I understood it, the first time... ?

Yeah, that would make a good show, except they would have to have about thirty stories per episode, which would really put a strain on the writing department. Of course, there's always "Cops" - no big complications there, and the writing problem is solved too. If only they could solve the "interesting show" problem......

As soon as Cromwell showed up in 24, I knew he was behind it all.

I'm 100% positive that I've seen this comic before. Call me crazy, but I knew exactly what was gonna be said in each panel. I know this isn't a rerun, but was it ever posted online before in some other form?

I'm surpirsed you had to explain that, it was an excellent throw back to an earlier panels. Well done.

You have ads on your site? I never see them; which is a sham becasue I would click on them.

"As do I" means Scott also stands corrected about his comment that they don't make movies about serial muggers, from the first panel.

I was taking "As Do I" as the response to "I stand Corrected".

However I took the whole to mean that Scott wears a back brace or something to improve his posture......

Must get out more....

America's favorite kindly old cold-blooded killer. Beautiful.

The formula for all TV crime series is; if there is an attractive young woman introduced around the ten minute mark, you can go get dinner or play video games or whatever and then tune back in for the last ten minutes and watch as she is revealed as the killer. The one (sometime) exception is "Castle", which is a comedy.
(70% of all murders are committed by men and older teenage boys in this reality, but in TV reality, its pretty women and girl children without motive, 75%; men and teenage boys - because women provoked them - 25%)
