Air Raid Robertson Strip 39

Happy New Year one and all. This is the last Air Raid Robertson strip of 2009.

This one has something of an action sequence so there's eight panels instead of six. I still wanted to fit in the typical amount of banter and yelling despite the additional bits of guys punching each other.

I added Sticky's comments on the sleeping gas because it actually does have a significant mortality rate. That's why cops don't use it for hostage situations. (They're far more willing to do so in Russia though)

This may be the first Air Raid Robertson strip where I was tempted to add strong language. When I began this comic strip I decided to avoid renderings of nudity and excessive violence. I also decided to keep the nastier words out of it. I basically wanted to keep things on a PG-13 Simpsons level.

This is for no other reason than to see if I can actually create an entertaining comic strip that doesn't have to rely exclusively on tits and explosions.

Of course, the last time I drew Sticky and Stick the two of them cursed like drunken sailors who just had nails driven through their feet. It took some effort to hold back.
