#1105: License Plate explain
[Cueball is walking in from the right holding a license plate up with both hands for an off-panel Megan to see. It is possible to see the plate, but here it looks like all I’s (or 1’s).]
Cueball: Check out my personalized license plate!
Megan (off-panel): “1I1-III1”?
Cueball: It’s perfect!
Plate: III-IIII
[In this frame-less panel Megan is sitting in an office chair holding and looking at the plate while Cueball stand next to her rubbing his hands together in front of him.]
Cueball: No one will be able to correctly record my plate number!
Cueball: I can commit any crime I want!
Megan: Sounds foolproof.
[A man with hair only around his neg and glasses holds out a hand towards a bald male police officer with a black peaked cap with white emblem on the front. The police man interviews their witness holding a notepad and a pen. Another likewise caped female officer is Ponytail who walks to the left arm pointing left. There is a line of yellow police tape behind them with text partially obscured by the characters. At the top left of the panel there is a small frame with a caption:]
Soon:
Witness: The thief’s license plate was all “1"s or something.
Police officer: Oh. That guy.
Ponytail: His address is on a post-it in the squad car.
Yellow strip (text not visible in brackets): Poli[ce strip] do not cross [poli]ce stri[p do not] cross.
