“What’s in a name? Let’s go Cruise-ing.”

Funny. He doesn’t look like Thomas C. Malpother IV!

But he does look like Thomas C. Malpother, III.

He looks like whatever you’d name a weirdo who jumps up and down on Oprah’s couch.

He’s a dwarf, isn’t he?

What’s even funnier is that they spelled it different in each panel. So I still don’t know which spelling might be his real name.

Lu, would you fall in love with a guy named Alfred P. Newman?

I still think he’s crazy

Whatever his name is it should never have been Reacher.

Does it mean there are at least three others with the same name? Are there Thomas Cruise Mapother V, VI and so on?

Those girls must have been busy to had moved the magazines around.

His full name is Thomas Cruise Mapother IV (not maLpother). His cousin William Mapother is also an actor, who was in Lost as “Ethan Rom”.

Um, so is it Malpother or Mapother?? It’s spelled both ways in the strip.

To paraphrase Luann in the first panel. DEFINITELY NOT

Tom Cruise? Ugh, no way
