Transcript:
Elwood: "You look fantastic, darlin'! When folks start showin' up, you just turn on that Zeye magic, ok?"
Elwood: "Hey, it's a drag the director and stars didn't show. But we did sell out! Zeye has a few fans, y'know...."
He’s meant for show business, isn’t he? He’s gotten her to this point without mentioning the important details about the director and stars not showing up, UNTIL AFTER she’s in the get-up. And now the creepy little ick is putting the moves on her. Ew!!
Maybe I’m cynical, but I’m anticipating Comic-Con in miniature.Tiffany surrounded by a bunch of stereotypical overweight guys with no social skills and an aversion to deodorant.
so it’s the “EYES” of Zeye, but the real issue as per the poster, is more likely the (what she is staring down at) “XX” of Zeye….at least as far as Tiffany is concerned. Actually, Tiffany really should be the stand-in for the close-ups.
By Tiff’s expression, she’s beginning to have reservations about this gig. In Panel #2, her lack of enthusiasm in being discovered, shows that she’s been discovered by the wrong people – no potential here for career advancement.
Speaking as someone who was once in the business as a relief theater manager. The producer, director and some studio grunts would most certainly be there. The audience is given questionnaire cards to grade the film and also to make comments. The producer and director are there to observe audience reaction to the film to determine if further editing or possible reshooting needs to be done. I’m wondering if Elwood was paid for the rights to the Eyez character or if he has self produced it? Maybe in the latter planning stages they realized that it would go over budget and that is why the 3-D aspect was nixed!
Tiffany may look hot but she is totally unattractive. I think that is what Greg is trying to tell us and IMO is hitting us over the head with it for those who don’t get it.
Glamour is seldom glamorous. My guess is either someone else, a fan, is also dressed as Zeye (and with the long wavy hair) or else you’re right, the line is filled with 12-year-olds. If so, and if Tiff is a pro, she’ll act glad as fans at age 12 will also be fans 10, 20 years from now. They’ll give her a long career. Isn’t this a sought-after demographic for advertisers?
I hate to admit it, but Tiff does pull off the look better than Luann could. And I agree with the one person, the high heeled knee boots are doing their thing

I’m guessing that the audience for this movie will be a theater filled with12 year old geeks.

I bet the only ones to show up will be Chrystal, Knute, Luann, Bernice, Gunth and Rosa…..

Sisyphos about 12 years ago
Looks like Tiff is having second thoughts about the job she has agreed to do for Elwood the Greasy Shrimp.
atomicdog about 12 years ago
I think that Tiff is going to be pleasantly surprised…
greenbird about 12 years ago

Um yeah, Tiff. Wanna be my overnight sensation?
drewpamon about 12 years ago
Hmm maybe Brad Toni TJ are taking Shannon to the theater and TJ takes a liking to tiff. In any case someone Tiff knows will show up.

mikecronis about 12 years ago
Ah, he’s faking all of this, isn’t he? Hm.
Vilyehm about 12 years ago
Tiffany’s eyes are slightly looking downward..12 year olds at 20 yards.
Doug Swearingen about 12 years ago
just once it would be nice to see tif go down in flames…

It’s interesting that Greg used what looks like the old Macintosh font “chicago” for the wording on the movie marquee.
Dragongirl2319 about 12 years ago
Did anyone notice he’s holding her hand in the last panel?
cdemattos about 12 years ago
Tiffany is finally in her element. she is HOT!!!
Simon_Jester about 12 years ago
So…they nixed the 3D, the director didn’t show up for his own preview, and the stars bailed too.
Why do I get the feeling that this movie is going to be the biggest train-wreck since Battlefield Earth? Tiffany should be GLAD they cut her scenes.

phlash about 12 years ago
Didn’t Elwood base Zeye on her in the game? She probably looks more like what the kids’ll expect than the actress does.
dblbaraje about 12 years ago
Maybe the movie will be so bad, it will turn into one of those cult classics
yangeldf about 12 years ago
I’m betting the fans will be a bunch of small children…in which case I’d say the costume is kind of inappropriate…
Dragoncat about 12 years ago
…and here they all come…in one big stampede!I never thought I’d say this, but…GOOD LUCK, TIFFANY!!!I fear you will need it.
