How did GT manage to time this one?

Love is like a nose, and just as newsworthy.

Is the timing of this strip good or bad?

A “reality show” like no other!

Governor Colin Powell? He could have run for President like Eisenhower.

Elmont is just as delusional as ever. He’s gotten Roland going. :-D

And Roland will believe every word of it. That’s why he was totally qualified to go to work for FAUX Noise.

Sure, why not. I hear first lady Betty White is signing autographs and taking bribes with the Florida Delegation.

Sounds like Elmont smoked a little wacky weed before hitting the convention floor.

He’s turning into Uncle Duke.

I must have missed this arc first time around. I don’t remember it, but it looks like a fun one.

Like the play on “All Things Considered”.

He could have been a threat to Clinton in his second term if he had run. He never wanted the office

Coincidence or as an homage?

Roland Hedley Jr….He USED to be a reporter.

ONE COMMENT ON BACK STRIPS.

One 6-day arc skewered author Gay Talese;where he would have sex with prostitutes whilehis wife waited downstairs in the car;ostensibly as “research” for a best selling book.Of course,you’re wondering which of the two has the most holes in t heir heads.

I don’t think that arc was ever reprinted in a “collection”.Somebody squawk??

We’re to the point in this pandemic where seeing those two so close together without masks on gives me the willies. And yes, I know the strip is a rerun and I know they’re cartoon characters but still.

Yeah. It is weird how long-time characters pop-up at the most convenient time in re-runs. RIP, ya lyin’ bastich. With all due respect…
