I caught mel
sneaking into
my garage
last night.
nope! leaving
a
lamborghini!
with a big red
bow on it.
I knew
right
then
something
was wrong.
nobody
loves me
that
much.
central
precinct.
being
booked on
assorted
nuisance
charges
speaking of
“assorted”,
I
have a
beef
to
pick with him
over those
chocolates.
you don’t
look anything
like I imagined.
I lost my
baby fat.
at the police precinct…
everyone
knows
I hate
chocolate—
covered
cherries!
even though we’re
a couple of your
unintended targets,
mel, we want to help
make things right.
your lawyer said
your defense to
all these mischief
charges is going to
be “malfunctioning
weaponry.”
yep.
afraid ye
olde bow
and arrows
are toast.
pmcs?
no matter
who I
aim at my
arrows Go
astray.
so that explains
reality shows.
but
why don’t you just
do pmcs?
preventive
maintenance checks
and services. That’s
our speciality.
my specialty is
sappy lyrics and
bad poetry…so I’m
afraid I’m at a loss.
besides,
at 2,200
years I’m
probably
too old
to learn.
it’s
never
too late to learn
pmcs. the police were good
enough to let us take a peak
at your latest weapon. nice!
but when Was
the last time you
replaced the
strings
and
cables
on this puppy?
never.
I used
to wax the bow-
strings, but…
…I kinda
fell out of
the habit—oh—
somewhere
back in the
5
th
centurY.
then you should
have clued into
the
importance
of
pmcs ages ago.
take a
look at
your carbon
arrows, mel.
this one’s visibly
cracked, and
a few others
have hairline
fractures. you
need to check
arrows for
cracks, gouging
or compression
on the shafts.
any damaged arrow
is
dangerous,
but
carbon can shatter
and fragments can
fly into your skin or
even your eyes.
what happened
when you
stopped
waxing the
strings?
umm…sir
lancelot and
guinevere?
your attorney’s
willing to let us
take a shot at it.
that’s
what
bonnie
and
clyde
said.
where’s
cupid—err—
mel
now?
stealing
your car?
