The Return of Stickman #1310

I should have known that stress can cause amnesia. That would explain why I can never find my checkbook, wallet, keys, hat, shoes or file my taxes on time.

This strip was inspired by this news story. Part of me can't help but wonder if this is an accident, or an extremely well thought out murder.
