“Why do you like pretending you’re Starbuck JONES!!! which is how we spell it now I guess?” "Well, my 75 year old wife is now 12! Talk quicker, as she’ll be a blastocyst soon!"
So after many years of giving us an unimaginative, shallow take on obsolete space operas, Batiuk now criticizes the entertainment industry for giving us unimaginative, shallow takes on obsolete space operas. Ah, Mr. Batiuk, truly are you the legendary humorist needed by our times!
LET’S GET IT OVER WITH! PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY! WHERE’S DINKLE?!
Shouldn’t he be arriving on a parade float while sitting upon a gilded throne? Resplendent in his generalissimo band director uniform? Displaying his most obnoxious fat-faced jack-o-lantern grin?
YEP — THERE IT IS IN PANEL 2, TODAY’S REMINDER THAT THIS IS ABOUT “STARBUCK JONES III: THE RISE OF THE BANDELOREANS”! TUNE IN TOMORROW, WHEN WE’LL NEED TO BE REMINDED YET AGAIN THAT THIS IS ABOUT “STARBUCK JONES III: THE RISE OF THE BANDELOREANS”!
Mason believes he has a chance to break Rocky and Mission Impossible franchise record following their lead in changing names and places, but keeping the same thin plot.
“What is it about the Starsuck Jones character that keeps you coming back to portray him?” (said no interviewer ever; sheesh, when will Batty start writing recognizable human English lines?)
“The money, of course. By the time we finish Starsuck Jones XLIX I might have made enough to pay off the loans I took out making Dead St. Lisa’s Story: the (not very) Moving Picture! Even Joe Biden won’t forgive those debts!”

Cindy smiles, knowing that Mason was once chosen to play the thoroughly unheroic Les Moore.

My kingdom for a rotten tomato to throw at Masone. These aren’t dad jokes. These are BAD jokes.
We could be seeing something interesting about the movie premiere, but instead we’re stuck witnessing Masone bomb at open mike night at the improv.
Cindye continues to stand there with a gormless grin. The lobotomy was a complete success.
Batty calls it “writing.” I call it a waste of bandwidth.
