page 744 – just a little late
Yes, yes, I totally did a Copy/Paste on those cops in the second panel. It’s a really lazy way to do things, but I’ll defend it JUST this once in that a bunch of people marching in formation are SUPPOSED to look exactly the same. Ya know? …do you buy that?
Also, DANG IT! I forgot to put “Police” on their shields!
Well, a thing I DIDN’T forget is the new Voting Incentive, for those of you wish we’d have more Avatar/Tax interaction.
(Historical Notes: Well, it only took five years, but I FINALLY filled in the blank space on those shields!)
The police are supposed to protect the populace from itself, and Stilez has almost certainly taken on armies. While you may not know about it, Astrid, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the Riot Squad and many other “normal” police officers have outstanding orders not to engage with Stilez.
Yeah, the Nitpicker’s Guild are probably just one of the few groups blunt enough to actually be open about their No Stilez policy.
I’m going to ignore the opportunity to make a comment about real police here and point out that they’re all using nightsticks. When storming a gun show. Either those are really cool truncheons or there were some wild decisions at the planning meeting.
Those “nightsticks” probably have, like, fifty different futuristic gadgets stuffed inside. Like, you twist the handle exactly 47 degrees and it spits out a net.
