Panel 1:
Leo the Boss: "Kenny, when’s the last time we had this place swept for bugs?"
Kenny the Crypt: "Um, like 6 months?"
Panel 2:
Leo the Boss: "6 months?!? It’s supposed to be done once a month!"
Kenny the Crypt: "What’s the big deal?"
Panel 3:
Leo the Boss: "THE BIG DEAL?!?"
Leo the Boss: "First, we’re mobsters: we need this place to be secure."
Leo the Boss: "Second, it’s your job!"
Leo the Boss: "Third, and most importantly: they’re on a retainer. They’re getting paid to just sit around!"
Kenny the Crypt: [thinking] "Wonder if they’re taking applications."

I have always wondered how one sweeps for bugs. Do they have a mechanical broom?
I’ll have to illustrate how they would do it sometime…
It’z kind of eazy you know.
Most bugz uze radio wavez to tranzmit their recordz.
So you took a radio receiver… like… a radio, and if you hear noizy zcrath then: katching!
You got your bug.
Ah thanks. I’ll remember that
Zomething iz on my mind and I kept forget azking.
Are Bruno and Al former copz?
They graduated from zchool nut did they apply and zomething happen?
DAMN IT! I forget “Gupy”!
Thiz memory trouble are way out of control… if can’t even give my name!
I can tell you that you’re on the right train of thought with that. Bruno could go either way, but Al was. Can’t tell you too much more, but there will definitely be a historical part of this story that reveals those details more later on. 😉
