One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for September 01, 2022

Well if you broke his chopper, Ruthie. Joe had the right to go all, Mel Gibson on you.

Too topical for some to get the gag?

I had forgotten that Gibson nearly ruined his career. A long time ago now.

They had an episode of “Arthur” where he hit his sister D.W. because she threw his new model airplane out the window to see if it could fly. As I recall she was told more than once to leave it alone.

Love Mom’s startled reaction!

Well at least he did not Ray Rice you

so many choices so little room to write them down

Funny, You don’t look Jewish. (Thank you, Mel.)

At least he didn’t go all Christian Bale on you.

Or Will Smith you!

As the oldest of eight, I can relate to Joe. My stuff always had a fascination for them, and they’d bust it.

I thought it was an old reference then I looked at the date on the comic 2012 and I knew

Hey, if you bust a guy’s helo there has to some recriminations.

Good thing he didn’t Alec Baldwin you!
