Maybe he expects his “subconscious” to do his creative work for him…

Couldn’t Jeff take a page from GT’s playbook and just rerun his older work the thirty or forty weeks of the year when he’s not working?

Hey, welcome back Sarge. I see you have a new ID. Did Go Comics ban your old one? I was wondering what had happened to you. Have not seen you ranting about “The Usurper” in a while and hoped you were okay.

I remember W represented as the ratty Roman Legion helmet, and Clinton as the waffle. But I don’t recall symbols for any other presidents, just the off-panel voices. Is my memory faulty?

Yeah, Clint’s head was empty that night. It’s a good thing he’s a great director. Otherwise the republicans would have to say he’s just a dumb actor who repeats other people’s lines.

@Kaffekup, are you talking about that dreadful Clint Eastwood shtick where he talked to a chair? I couldn’t believe an experienced Hollywoodian such as he would so embarrass himself like that.

I know. I wasn’t watching the hatefest, but I looked it up later, and was absolutely amazed that he had no script. I guess he was so sure that he could adlib it, but I was afraid it was the onset of Alzheimers.

Eastwood was good, did poorly with his empty chair debate, though.Really good in Grand Torino, victory in self-sacrifice.
