Dodge that bullet, Mel!

His name is Jeff U Classified.

“Eff you” would seem to be an appropriate answer, in this case…

Seems like an unlikely pairing (Jeff and Mel), but it’s been in the offing for months, and anything can happen in the ‘toon (or real, for that matter) world!

Oh please, not that extreme loser Jeff. Anybody but. Perhaps Jackie? Or even Fred?!

Mel and her… baggage… are already outta there. Definitely best for everyone. Even Jeff.

And I suppose a character that looks vaguely like Chuck Schumer and a token mention of Wikileaks are about as close as we’re ever gonna get to ever seeing any mention of this administration’s continued role in the hiring of bloodthirsty contractors like Overkill in this strip.

or the dropping of the lawsuit against Cheney after Bush Sr. intervened with a hefty payout. Schumer still has his hair.

Or maybe the colorist doesn’t have a big box of Crayolas. :)

If Jeff ever hooks up with ANYone, I’ll be rather disappointed. How can he be such an extreme loser, yet still be able to attract women? They’d have to be in a coma. He just radiates stupid and the fact that anyone ever gave him a job only says how stupid other people are, as well. Mel isn’t stupid though. And she’d never have pity for him, either.

jrmerm typed - Jeff and Mel have the same hair color, maybe they are actually close relatives. —–

You know, before Joanie Caucus left her husband and jumped on the cycle with Mike and Mark, if memory serves, she had a daughter…..

I mean, if little VietNamese orphan Kim can re-enter the strip as Mike’s second wife….why not?

I think Mel should have been a little nicer to Jeff. After all, she had no way of knowing he is an asshole.! Be a little nicer.

In case anybody cares, DADT is toast. The Senate just repealed it.

From the NYTIMES:

“By a vote of 65 to 31, with eight Republicans joining Democrats, the Senate approved and sent to President Obama a repeal of the Clinton-era law, known as “don’t ask, don’t tell,” a policy critics said amounted to government-sanctioned discrimination that treated gay and lesbian troops as second-class citizens.”

No thanks to Bozos that voted no, especially McCain the greatest hypocrite so far this century.

Seablood:

I think Mel should have kicked Jeff somewhere painful and effective. But I guess the baggage claim area so soon after arrival is a tad too crowded for that.

I mean, if little VietNamese orphan Kim can re-enter the strip as Mike’s second wife….why not? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Um, no! Joanie does indeed have a daughter – who is JJ, Mike’s first wife, and Alex’s mom! And she’s much older than Jeff.

Oh pooh, so quick with the fists, like George Bush.
