Panel 1: "I need to buy a Christmas gift for my dad." "What kind of gift?" Panel 4: "One that costs four dollars and thirty-one cents." "I hate this job."
In choosing Newt Gingrich and Howie Mandel as the names for the punchline, I wasn’t making any kind of political statement. I chose names of people who, in my opinion, are clearly past their prime. That’s why the scents manufactured in their names are so affordable. I could have just as easily chosen Al Gore and Andrew Dice Clay. Sometimes you use a name just because it SOUNDS funny. Newt Gingrich is a comical-sounding name. Anyway, merry Christmas, everyone!
