This reminds me of one of my favorite running jokes from “Groo, the Wanderer.”
“As any fool can plainly see.”
Groo: “I can see that.”

Someone who calls the police on you is not a good candidate to be your therapist. Or maybe the best candidate. (There’s that opposition wisdom again.)
I mean… this is Choan we’re dealing with. She’s on this quest to determine if she’s a threat or not, I’d say this is a breakthrough if a wise one decided that the best answer is “I am not qualified to handle this one.”
“I’ve but one request, my Wandering Guest,
Please try, Groo, not to kill me.”
I will not kill you, Minstrel. Have I ever done so before? I thought not!
CHEESE DIP!
IINM that was a running gag in Lil’ Abner
“As any fool can plainly see.”
“I sees”
At least I recall my father quoting it.
Coming up: A very practical test of Choan’s powers of observation and sense of irony.
Does she let herself be taken into custody? Does she do so only to learn what kind of Bupillionesque jail she can break out of? Does she even think of such a thing?
And since she didn’t get the wisdom she expected, where’s she off to next? With or without vengeful pursuit?
So many questions. So many panicked civilians. Dear, dear.
Cue the Benny Hill-style chase scene.
With “Flight of the Valkyries” played at the tempo of “Yackety Sax.”
But can you dance to it?
Choan opens the portal, walks through (with Ruddick) just as the police break down the door, leaving not-so-wise-one holding the “filing a false report” bag.
We are Groo fans… 🙂
Panel 5: that lamp pole looks like she’s trying eyedrops or it’s just sticking there, like a hypodermic needle. May I suggest just removing it? Normally, I ignore such things, but that’s just bugging me, sorry.
