Dick Cheney: Now It Can Be Told!
Watching the Presidential Inauguration – and I realize I'm making fun of a dude in a wheelchair, but heck, that's just who I am – it occurred to me that our former (damn, it feels good to say this) vice-president Dick Cheney goes on to become... Davros!
No kidding. Look at the guy and imagine him on a diet, maybe 100 years older. Nosferatu trapped in the sun. Turns out this isn't an original observation; the graphic is from seedsofdoubt.com.
Bye, bye. Dick. Don't let the door knob slam you in the forehead on your way out.

I LOVED his retorts in his exit interviews Mike. "We never made any mistakes. I mean, did YOU see it coming?"... What I will miss is the easy target. But hey, a SMALL price to pay in order to kick the carcass to the curb. Now ole' Dick can skeet shoot his friends faces all he wants.
By the way, be sure to write me back so I can tell you how a few pages I found in "Zen and Violence" should bank you a lawsuit on Frank Miller!

I give Mr. Cheney credit for staying in the chair and maintaining control of his arms. "I CAN VALKK!!!"
And thank heavens no one decided to put a white cat in his lap.

John Hodgman suggested the cat bit. And, later, the Dalek thing. It's so nice to know there's so many people with such little taste (coming from a man who JUST made a Ted Kennedy joke to Mr. Hauman).
As for Dr. Strangelove -- unless you were going for Professor Zavier and I missed it -- well, you know that was candidate John Edwards' favorite movie.
Glenn Hauman (5:04 PM on Tue Jan 20, 2009)
Even though I was talking to Chris Claremont when you replied, I was referring to Dr. Strangelove, not Professor Xavier. With an "X'. (What, you thought the book was called Z-Men all these years? (Z-Man, we all know, is a member of the Super Best Friends.))
Besides, with Edwards, Strangelove takes on an entirely different meaning.

It's nice to see Mike Gold's byline back up on ComicMix. I've noticed Glenn's byline up here more and more recently as well. Does this signal another shift in ComicMix personnel? Is Robert Greenberger on vacation? I'm just curious.

Bob's wandering the wilds of lower Fairfield County Connecticut, seeking solace at the time of forthcoming Trekiness.
I've always been here; I've just been hiding. I'm in the same wilds, saddened by the (temporary) unavailability of Secret Diaries of a Call Girl.

Great, now I have to find that for you too? Grumblegrumblegrumble...
