Man: So how long have you been interested in software, Mr. Harris? Zonker: My whole life. From jeans to t-shirts to earth shoes. I've always been partial to comfortable clothes. Man: Hee hee. That's great! You don't take the business world very seriously, do you, Mr. Harris? Zonker: Um... well... Man: I like that kind of irreverence, Mr. Harris. Frankly, it's damn refreshing. Zonker: It is? Man: When can you start? Zonker: Um... you'll have to talk to my agent.

“You’ll have to talk to my agent.” – you have to admit, Zonker’s light on his feet. He REALLY wasn’t expecting someone who “got” him.

And after all this, he still hires Zonker. I thought the only real job was at McDon…, er, McFriendly’s.

I know Dave Sheridan and Shelton drew the strip together for a number of years; wouldn’t surprise me if they wrote together too. Looking for that image I saw a recent interview where Shelton, now in Paris, does the writing for a comic about the music business, saying he’d tapped out all marijuana humor with the Freaks.
