Tuesday Table: What’s In His Pocketses?

Steve Johnson14 years ago3 years ago01 mins

In most stories and movies, the heroes rarely go through the pockets of their fallen foes unless they’ve got good reason to do so–for example, if they need a weapon or ammo or they need the enemy’s key card to make their escape.
