Hope this is either another trip, or some old friends.

How about it’s Zed’s old pal from his covert days, the one he’s done deals with at times, who happened to be watching what’s going down with the border jumpers?

BTW, I do love that piece of music. Sad that it’s creator was so rabidly anti-Semitic.

I like Wagner as well; I do not associate his anti-semitism with his music. It would be like hating Fords because of Henry Ford’s anti-semitism.

You’re a better “man” than I am, I cannot forgive and forget German cultural anti-semitism. It wiped out my entire family in Europe.

I’m with you, JJ. I can’t forgive their cultural anti-Americanism. I spent 27 years in Europe, mostly in Germany, speak the language fluently, so you can take it from me: They are a pathetic bunch of socialist Sheeple who hate the US and everything it stands for. They can all get bent. And Wagner? Meh. I can’t get excited about it.
It is not so much Wagner himself, but the fact that the Nazis associated the music with themselves so much that just hearing it brings up the wrong associations. That is why people (especially survivors) objected to the Israel Philharmonic playing Wagner. “One does not speak of a rope to someone whose relative was hanged”.

Wondering how many times Chris could (would?) ‘take us down the rabbit hole’ with this kind of writing? Never really noticed a sadistic streak in his writing, thus far, but who knows…? 🙂

Ha!
If you haven’t, I highly suggest watching the uncut verison of A.N, the cinematography is AMAZING, as well the set pieces…Brando is as insane an actor as well as the part itself.
Hell, even Martin Sheen is enjoyable…and watchable…he almost makes you forget that he’s a raving Progressive Loon.

Hmmm. The rhythm of those DahDah-Dundahs seems more “Jaws” than “Ride of the Valkyries.”
Or the Batman theme…the Dark Knight Rises in the dark of night in a darked out choppah!

160 SOAR or something outta Eglin? Someone might still owe Zed…
nb, tiny shape doesn’t look like the Hughes ‘toly’s been flying, but it is getting dark.

That is definitelyy a Sikorsky in the background of the 1st panel. If Muir hasn’t taken us down a 2nd rabbit hole then I don’t figure that’s the ATF. Those weenies aren’t creative enough to play Wagner.

It might even be the National Guard.
The boys often get in their stick time flying between bases like Ft. Bliss and Ft. Hood.

I wonder if they are about to be cited for littering and creating a biohazard (bleeding…) on a pubic roadway?
“Pubic roadway??” I think that was the strip from a few days back! 😉
🙂 🙂 🙂 !!!
If it’s morning, that smell must be napalm.
You’ve got it!
Col. Bill Kilgore’s unit, 1/9th Air Cav is out of Ft. Hood
I think (hope) the helo is just Toly?
Zed has some friends who have access to blacked-out rotary wing… and I think they owe him a favour or two…
True. And other than Toly, Naomi, and Damon, who’s most likely to have that sort of sense of humor?
cheers
eon
Certainly not the scolds in the gov’t.
Still, if there were any cover, they might want to take it. (Won’t be any use to run, though.)
Lets hope it isn’t coming to take Zed to Valhalla
Sounds like another dream/hallucination.
Black helicopter, Wagner, really?
?Apocalypse Now?

AN blasting Wagner? It’s gotta be a Huey.
Outline looks like a Coastie helo or an executive bird. Btw, doesn’t the Donald fly around in a black executive helo?
