capture the flag

Shame that this week's Blotter doodle couldn't have run two weeks before: It would've been great for the Fourth.

The item had to do with a robbery, and I wanted to try a more simple, stripped-down approach not only to the flag but also to the background. I also wanted to bring back a character I haven't drawn in ages, the once-ubiquitous Shadow Man who is always up to no good. Note that he's the only thing fleshed out here (but just barely), which says something about the way I picture the faceless/nameless perps who never get caught.

Blot: Someone stole an American flag off the deck of a man's home on Flynn Street.
