Chapter 12: I Was Entrapped!
Entrapment pg 10: Couldn’t have done it without the cops
Jen happily bought the weapon from Lorrie. Her plan was coming together very nicely.

JEN
Squee!
Except for the part where the feds locked her up.
Jen looking dejected, Lorrie looking pleased
JEN
Yeah, that part sucked.
LORRIE
Here’s some more bad news: I’m an undercover agent—the whole thing was a classic sting.
Jen, behind bars, furiously shouting at Counsel.
JEN
WHAT?
You mean the feds actually helped me to commit the crime?
I was ENTRAPPED!
COUNSEL (not this again)

Old Russian proverb:
“When three gather together to conspire against the Czar, two are police spies and one is a fool.”
“No, I just like using top of the line, military grade sniper rifles to shoot soda cans for fun. And I can hunt deer at 1000 yards!”
You realize that with the exception of select-fire, the military use pretty much the same small-arms as everyone else, right?
Some people like shooting beer cans at 1200 yards. It’s a hobby.

Tired Attorney Lady is my favorite character in this comic.
“Squee” is that a reference to “Squee’s Wonderful Big Giant Book of Unspeakable Horrors” or just an amazing coincidence? https://www.amazon.com/Squees-Wonderful-Giant-Unspeakable-Horrors/dp/0943151244/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1457074748&sr=1-1&keywords=squee
