My first job was in a bank. Given the age of some of the ‘guards,’ Stanley would have no problem making a clean getaway. I spotted one guard napping in the Director’s meeting area. Amusing. Thanks for the chuckle.
Yes, what more could one ask of a hobby, adventure! I’ve never found one where I ended up with the money though, always the other way around. Maybe I need to reconsider…
It’s good to have a hobby where you can make money, but I’m not so sure the risk of taking money would be worth it (unless he’s aiming for free room and board for twenty years or so!)
i’m well acquainted with pizza therapy and although i don’t like to bost, might b considered an international expert. Please take my humble recommendation stating that it is w/o merit.
Hilarious Carl. I suppose keeping on the run from the cops will help him to stay responsive & alert. Bank Robbery really does have great health benefits.
I certainly will. Have become hooked up with 4 other cartoonists at pro level last several weeks and am expanding that network. I appreciate the reference.

With all the fees and caveats the banks sure are stealing from us and that does not even approach the criminal rip offs of the mortgage industry.
