I hate this strip the more I look at it. It’s just weak for the most part. I must’ve tried fifty times to draw Richard Dreyfuss and that was as close as I got. He looks more like former NYC mayor Ed Koch. I tried to make him look like Dreyfuss did in Tin Men<\/em>, which is a movie no one remembers even though it was available for rental at literally every video store in 1988. Before you correct me, I know Tin Men <\/em>is from 1987. I said “available for rental”. Actually, I should add that in 1989, it was shown literally 14,000 times a day on HBO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You had to hear those two Fine Young Cannibals songs a lot in the late 1980s, would be my point in this doggerel. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were of course “Good Thing (CLAP CLAP)<\/strong> “, and “Social Security”, a.k.a. the b-side everybody forgets about. It’s a languid snoozer that rises up on the soundtrack whenever Richard Dreyfuss starts to cuckold Danny DeVito. There are lots of great antique cars in Tin Men <\/em>that look much more interesting than the basic box on wheels I drew in panel three. I must’ve had a real lobster on my balls when I wrote this strip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
