Oh, it’s him. That’s unfortunate.
Poor McBell
Do we know him? I don’t remember…
It might be Chief Dougherty in his younger days. Same general build, at least.
Yeah, that was my assumption, same general look.
True, but I am a bit confused by the timeline. In the present McBell is 21, IIRC. In the glorious past of 1 Dollar sticky buns she might be how old? 8 to 10 at least, so this might be 11 to 13 years ago. From streetcop to Chief of Police in a decade? This might be a little fast, even for a buddy of the mayor. OTOH all it took Platt jr were 5 minutes- never mind!
(New Year resolution: Do not overthink!)
The police…perhaps the most clownish of all.
how is mcbell going to be able to play her imaginary gameboy in the dark like that if the gameboy didnt have a backlight?? she cant see the imaginary screen!
(also i somehow only just now realized that i never once considered what mcbells past was like?)
Imaginary Gameboy Light Attachment
It seems unlikely that McBell would have enough firsthand experience with non-imaginary gameboys to know about that.
She’s so good, she could play it with her eyes closed!
Explains why she went at the vending machine earlier. She’s still packing a grudge.
ill be honest, I didn’t expect to shed so many tears when I signed onto this crime fighting clown comic, heh
Poor McBell 🙁
Mcbell is such a natural clown her imaginary game boy tuning out of imaginary batteries such a good comedic bit. Even as a kid with only the fourth wall as a audience she is nailing it
You know, for a moment, I thought that ‘hey’ on the last page was going to turn out to be a clown whose kindness in obtaining the Sticky Bun inspired Mcbell to become a clown, and that it would turn out to be some kind of Forgotten First Meeting with a young Binky or Mustard that would become dramatical irony only revealed to the characters later.
…Which, I mean, this still might turn out to be in the opposite direction if that is the police chief, but I wouldn’t count on it. Unless Mcbell turns out to have gotten irrationally fixated on it and later takes off her nose and clown makeup in front of the police chief and goes “hello. My name is Mary Mcbell. You denied me my Sticky Bun. Prepare to di- errr, get slightly embarrassed in front of your kid.”
Dead batteries on an imaginary gameboy is the perfect sad end to this.
Noooo! No, poor McBabybell! God I even got my hopes up that last page might be someone who would help!
God, sad things always hurt more when it seemed like something good was going to happen. Just McBell seeing that dollar.
