They see you? you’re so lucky.

I see Bleeb is learning some human language colloquialisms.

In the meantime he’s waving to everybody! Hi Bleeb, Hi I&P, Hi Dawg, Hi Perky.

Surprise! A comic with a huge elephant that doesn’t involve politics.

That isn’t me. I have no problem talking about the elephant in the room. It’s others that have a problem with me talking about it.

Hmm…This isn’t the Republican elephant, is it?

“It’s like I’m transparent. They just look right through me.”

Well at least he is fully equipped to hear want he says!

Tsk,Tsk. Aren’t some of them pink?

Nice. Well done sir. Thank you.

I thought the elephant was supposed to be pink.

Bleeb says, “The problem is complex, the elephant is painfully shy and always hides behind the potted palm.”

He might be IN the room, but at least he is not ON Bleeb

Always wondered how that elephant felt

It’s very frustrating! Especially when I’m trying to get their attention.

It’s the Republican Party!

What elephant?

I can see why they have a psychosis, being ignored all the time. It’s a good thing they’re introverts.

It’s the 800 pound gorilla in the room that nobody wants to notice.

He must be planning on staying for a while, I see he brought his trunk!

“Well Doc, I’ll tell ya! Did ya ever try to get caviar at a baseball game? Did ya, huh? Did ya! Well, I’ll give one big guess at what they wanna give an elephant at a ball game!

It’s the opposite of Harvey the Pooka, except nobody can see him and yet everybody talks about him.

The real elephant not being addressed is why anyone in their right mind would pay you $175-per-hour to ask the same pointless question over and over.
