Something about you being a hoarder.

lol I can’t even remember!

Was Clyde based on Clarence Thomas??

Actually Governors can (in some states) appoint a replacement for Senators while Representatives are filled by special elections are left vacant until the next election.

Let it go. Once you’re out of the power chair, you’re just the audience. All you can do is clap or boo.

Who will they appoint to replace Feinstein?

This does not make sense. you have to remember Lacy was a republican from SF and the Governor at the time was republican Pete Wilson (who was the reason California changed from a republican state to Democratic when his ethnic cleansing campaign energize the Hispanic vote. He would not appoint a black Democrat to Congress even if he could, which he couldn’t.

Couldn’t some no good bum have gotten Alzheimer’s instead of Lacey?

Governors don’t appoint people to vacant House seats. There MUST be a special election.

She can remember Clyde but not Jeremy? A very selective disease.

Naw! Clarence is too low for this strip.

In the 2020s, Clyde would probably slide into more than a few DMs.
