CD in comic -- pal drops it off (10,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

diplomatic corps

'cd' is the definition.
(CD is short for the French 'corps diplomatique')

'comic pal drops it off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates an anagram.
'comic'+'pal'+'drops'+'it'='comicpaldropsit'
'comicpaldropsit' with letters rearranged gives 'DIPLOMATIC CORPS'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for diplomatic corps that I've seen before include "CD" , "Foreign representatives in a country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
