    It was implied at their wedding that “Uncle Stupidhead” Zeke might be Leo’s father.

    I’ve heard about a Prince’s sister who is very combative about her brother inheritance .So I think it would be hard for a goupie’s son (or daughter) for pretending some money .

    LWPatriot….

    I checked that link…. and it brought back memories of that day’s comments…But the implication about Zeke (aka Uncle Stupidhead) being Leo’s father never made any sense to me, then or now.

    ZEKE is the one pointing at somebody, and saying “Weren’t you in Black Sabbath?”

    It’s far-fetched, but this is a comic strip…so yeah, that could imply that he’s unknowingly talking to Leo’s biological father, who was maybe a guy from Black Sabbath.

    In some cartoon reality, maybe that musician had suspicions of his parenthood, and had been secretly keeping an eye on Leo his whole life…. so he sneaked into the wedding.

    But to guess, as some did, that Zeke is talking to Leo’s mother…. and that somehow implies that HE’s the the one who fathered Leo…um…. say what??

    The “off-screen” person isn’t asking Zeke whether HE was in Black Sabbath…. and AFAIK, he wasn’t, anyway…and nor would Zeke be asking that of Leo’s mother!I’ve never been a Black Sabbath fan… but I don’t think they ever had a woman member, and if she’d been the only one, she’d have said so by now.

    You can never be too white to try to be Prince’s son.

    Maybe they have a better chance at millions by applying to be Prince’s heir than winning the lottery. Muhammad Ali was too big of a figure to not have some sort of remembrance by a strip like Doonesbury, so it will happen in due time.

    I met Ali in the early 90s at his farm in Michigan. Soft spoken, very polite. Kids would surround him in town and he seemed to enjoy them. I am not a boxing fan at all, and I came away with a very pleasant impression of him. I’m sorry to see him leave us.

    Ali kept an office on Chicago, at least during the 80’s-90’s, and he was walking out of the building as I was walking in, circa 1990. I asked to shake his hand, he obliged, and by the time we shook there was a crowd around him. I had to bump and sidle my way to the door ten feet away. He was a iconic character of our times.

    @montessoriteacher“Mohammad Ali was also consistent”.Yep and as a Muslim, he didn’t believe in war.Sad he was a segregationist, wanting to avoid people of other color, but I liked him anyway.
