Okay, enough about Gil and Kaz. Steve Luhm is doing a fantastic job on that floor.
Meanwhile Milford’s finest, Officers Barbrady and Wilbon continue to keep the park safe with their vigilance and attention to detail…

…but wait. It looks as if the boys in blue identified Cody as the hooded, after hours park jogger and passed the information up the chain of command. However, typical slapdash law enforcement/parenting/coaching protocols are applied and Cody has to be admonished by Gil only because Gil was gassing up at the Swifty Mart at the same time as Chief Lind. I wonder if Gil and the Chief took a pause to enjoy some of those delicious NutBoys while visiting the S-Mart. I’ve heard they’re shitty.
Nut Boys! They feel like progress!

“Hey, chief! Catching any football games?”
“You know it. Easier than catching crooks! Hey, two patrolmen were so wired on coffee and donuts that they recognized Cody running in the dark even with his hood all the way up. If they’d gotten out of the cruiser, they might have caught whoever it is that’s selling whatever it is they’re selling in the park at night … but that would resolve the plot way too soon. See you later!”

Hahaha!! Officer Wilbon
Office Barbrady and Cody have very similar hair. Same cut and matching skunk stripes. Could Barbrady be Cody’s in the wind father?
“I didn’t mean to make trouble. It’s just the park is the last place I remember having parents”. Awwwwwwww, boohoo for Cody.

The only reason the cops were at the park is that they were checking out the giant glowing breasts. That may also be a distraction to the reader as we shouldn’t realize that the drawing of Cody was just a cut and paste job from the prior panel.

Looks more like Officers Mutton Chops and Evander Holyfield to me. Like their role model, Gil, they also wait around for someone else to do their jobs.

” … Officers Barbrady and Wilbon … ” Excellent call, Ned!
What does that sign say above the gas pump, “S-mart, shop and shit”?
Gil: “Hey, Chief! Catching any ball games?
Chief Lind: “You know it, and that reminds me. You got any 30-weight ball bearings and some gauze pads?”

By the way, Wilbon’s got one of those Milford pie-crust steering wheels. Tasty, but not very safe if you eat too much. And who’s that bug-eyed giant that’s taking in the entire scene?

If it wasn’t important enough to stop the kid, why bother the chief?
“Hey, Chief! Guess what we saw. Go ahead. Guess, guess. – A jogger.”

Town Park? What,Milford can’t come up with a name for its park?
Wow, that’s Chief Lind from the S-mart story. Not much happening since the Robbery of 2008, I guess.

Milford TV channel: This just in, a jogger spotted in Town Park night before last after hours.
More at 11.

The real reason Gil called Cody into his office was to ask if Cody knew what that little round sports thing was on his desk!
And does anyone remember their high school coaches having real offices and desks with a big window looking outside and room to hang various mementos on the wall? Our coaches had old metal desks down in the locker room. 35 years of reading GT and I just remembered that!

Just realized that those glowing objects in 10/21 panel 3 are street lights, freed from the strictures of three-point perspective. Now the question becomes why Running Cody looks like the AOL man. Nobody runs jacked forward at a 40 degree angle unless he’s trying to break down a door with his head.

“Never mind the kid running and the two flying saucers that look like two large hooters, let’s get over to Swifti Mart and get some more of their lousy cffe and nutboys. They’re shitty!”
LOL Officer Barbrady and Wilbon.

“At town park, meanwhile, Cody makes tracks.”
Makes needle tracks. From the ‘roids he’s shootin’. Amiright, guys? Hah.
