Is he a Sumerian?

Nice shirt, Ted.

If the comics world held a Brain Fart Olympics, this one would medal.

It was nice of Ted to bring Dr. Sumerian lunch, but it did nothing to smooth the encounter.

Okay, I know what Sumerians were, but I still don’t get it. Too vague, even for this old(er) dude…Help?

I have no idea what the intent was but this comes across as racist.

Go in the waiting room, I’m eating my lunch…ugh

I’ve got a shirt like that. Style!

I think Ted is the tourist on holiday in Budapest…

At lunch, no less.

I wonder whether Dr. Sumerian can read Ted’s cuneiform shirt?

There is always the possibility that Ted is the one seated at the desk and Dr. Sumerian is the one on the right.

Wasn’t there a character called the Sumerian in Ghostbusters?

You come from the “Stripe Works” and think this is weird???
