I love how Ray says "Don't you do cocaine at ME, you son of a bitch!" You don't pull that sh*t with Ray, Todd! That might fly with Lyle or Blister or Blister's Ghost! But not with Ray!
It's almost like Ray has seen Todd do cocaine at someone before.

I am always amazed when shit like that gets caught. I always think "damn, that was such a good plan. whitey would never figure that out."

That kind of move takes some serious cajones, dude. "Listen up, fellas. I bought us a submarine and we're gonna move 4,989 kilos of cocaine into the US." I wonder if this was the maiden voyage or if they'd done it before. Crazy. I almost feel bad for them - dudes, you put all your eggs into one basket and now they've all been seized. But then I come to my senses and think about all the people who get killed because of the drug trade.

Yea, they really went balls out on this one. No balloons up anuses for them. Im kind of curious as to what the hell they were going to do with all that dope once they hit the border. Four little guys with 5.5 tons of anything is a little ridiculous. Were they going to just straight up dock a submarine and hold out till the big rig arrives? The world is a fuck*ng complicated place and we are fuck*ng complicated people.

The power of the free market (black as this one may be) is something awesome to behold.  Stuff like this is why the war on drugs is such a futile enterprise (or a Sisyphian cash cow if you're in drug suppressing law enforcement).  Bomb the Colombians, burn Afghanistan to the ground, encircle the US in razorwire and laser-wielding rednecks - all it does is make the trade more lucrative.  Constant demand, decreasing supply, profits through the roof = bulging prisons of losers willing to gamble and lose for a chance at the big payoff.

It's interesting that Philippe is five and is having a birthday where he turns five.  I know it's an inevitable consequence of having characters that don't age, but it always seems weird to me.  Does that mean that his previous birthdays take place on the same day as this strip, or does this replace them in continuity, or does he literally just turn five again every year?  And if so, when was he actually born?  I got distracted by thinking about that and couldn't really enjoy the rest of the strip, sorry.

I don't know, I think it makes at least some amount of sense. I mean, I've had stuffed animals before, and they never grew. Granted, they weren't alive, but they always stayed the same size/shape. If Phillippe is an Alive Stuffed Five-Year-Old Otter, then he will always be five years old. Similarly, Cornelius must have always been, if not old, at least sophisticated.

I get this.  I am amused.

Durham police have arrested a 93-year-old man on cocaine-trafficking and related charges.

William C. Tinnen was arrested Thursday during a raid at 204 Teel St., police said in a news release issued today. Police spokeswoman Kammie Michael said she assumed police had a tip that drug activity was taking place there.

In addition to trafficking, Tinnen is charged with possession of cocaine with the intent to sell or deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia and maintaining a dwelling for the sale of drugs. Officers also confiscated three firearms from the house. Investigators confiscated 11 grams of cocaine, 70 grams of methamphetamine and a Ford pickup truck.

because owning a ford pickup truck is evidently a crime.

Philippe is five.  He was born in 1997.  Last Wednesday was his fifth birthday.  Earlier, he was probably older than that.  He has always been a little retarded.

I'd also like to point out re: this whole cocaine sub deal:  Don't give those guys too much credit for their ingenuity.  Believe it or not, moving coke with submarines actually isn't a new idea.  Nor was theirs the ballsiest execution of that idea, for that matter.

Yay!  This took place in the next city over from where I live!  Go, Durham Police!  Keep those elderly drug traffickers off the street.  I guess that's one way to save money on incarcerating criminals.  Wait 'til they're at death's door, then arrest them. 

Cocaine keeps him young.

oh, damn, that Durham?? That Durham is cool.
