I would have thought him to be hungover.

I just realized where Rod Blagojevich learned his way of speaking!

@thebird, apparently he’s having a “hair of the dog”, or maybe the whole coat.

SISYPHOS That was terrible. Think of Blagojevich’s good qualities. Keep thinking. Something will come to you. Oh, I got one. He came from the same political machine that gave us the first mayor Daley (68) and the Prez.

@LEWREADER I was there during the 1960 election when the “river wards” voted their dead and missing for JFK over Nixon. Daley RULED Chi-town for 21 years (1955-76) and died in office and never worried about corruption because he bathed in it. His son, the current boss is just as bad and his ‘gifts’ smell the same!

Steve Dallas, Mr. America! It boggles the mind! This ought to be good!

“America’s new standard of Manliness”? I may have to consider a sex change operation after that.

um. what’s on steve’s face? sunglasses and … nose plaster?

I’m not sure, my_discworld, but I think it may be some foam from his beer that is all over his nose. Or maybe it *is* a nose plaster. One of the losers may not have taken kindly to losing to a loser like Steve Dallas.

As for the “standard of manliness” thing, if Steve sets the standard then I must be an incredible superstud. Which is pretty pitifiul for a sixty-something paunchy guy to say.

You have to sober up some to experience the effects of a hangover. Methinks I smell an all-nighter in progress….

And TexTech - what you said. It’s easy - and FUN - to jump high when the bar is set so low!

I think someone told a joke and he foamed beer out his nose. But that would just seem like Steve Dallas.

A six-pack and a rose in a slender “vozz”; what could be manlier?

Twentysomething years since this strip originally ran, and I’m still not ready to entertain this thought

a manś breakfast. cold pizza and warm beer: breakfast of champions!!!!

I am SO glad I am a girl.
