Can anyone explain what this comic (titled 'All units converge') means? Thanks.

[Hurkyl]

It's a police phrase (at least for U.S. TV cops) -- it means for the police units loosely surrounding a suspect to actually converge onto his location to nab him.

(more or less)

[mathgoddexx]

Yes, but who is the person that they are going after in this comic and why?

[yenchin]

You have to refer back to the previous comic entry... he's a professor they are trying to meet.

Ah OK, thanks.
