GU Comics: "Art Immitates Life"

Last night at 11:45pm my doorbell rang. I had my headphones on and thought for a moment it might have been something in the movie I was "watching". So I took my headphones off and waited for another ring. It came soon after. Taks and theKid were already in bed so I rushed to the door to find out what was going on. Looking through the peephole I saw nothing. I slowly opened the door and there were two police officers.
One wore the typical blues, the other street clothes but with a badge dangling from a chain around his neck. I was thinking "detective" I noticed that the blue clad policeman looked an awful lot like Jerry Holkins (Tycho) from Penny Arcade.
It wasn't.
They were looking for a former resident. After a few quick questions they were convinced he no longer lived here and went about their business. I appreciate that they acted like "Policemen" not "Cops" -I make a clear distinction- but an unexpected doorbell at 11:45 pm is rarely a comfortable situation.
So like the comic, this wasn't really all that funny either.
