Ozone stopped and looked at the sign.
“This isn’t where the job is.” Vince said.
“I know.” Ozone fell in with his boss and they continued down the street. “You ever thought about taking boxing?”
“Nope.”
“I’ve heard it’s a good workout.”
“So is running from the cops, and we do plenty of that.”
“It might be a useful skill,” Ozone suggested.
“In our line of work? Not as useful as being good with a gun.”
“I was just thinking…”
Vince sighed. “That you want to pay good money to get beat up?”
“When you put it like that…”
“Exactly.”

Guess he'll never find out.
I can see the logic in what Vince says, but I think he would benefit from giving it a go. Nice one.
My father taught me as a lad. I hated it being a bit of a whimp! Words and fast legs served me well though.
Time to change career?
Interesting characters.

Funny crooks. Good dialogue, good conclusion.
These two characters deserve more than 100 words (please?). Nice comic writing!
LOL! That's about right. :)
