How to Evaluate Someone Else's Plan

NOTE TO YOU, THE PEOPLE OF THE FUTURE:

Because of the lag time between when I create a comic and when it runs, I am writing this message to you from Monday the 4th, the day before the US presidential election. Needless to say, I am having difficulty concentrating. Also, I have a great deal of admin to do involving the release of my new novel, That's Not Right (Available now on Amazon, Kindle, and Audible!) so I am taking this week off. The comic will be back next week. Sorry for any inconvenience.

END TRANSMISSION FROM THE BEFORE TIMES!!

How to Make Peace

Way back in the mists of time, I participated in more than one roast. I was always surprised how few of the comedians ever bothered to actually write new material specifically about the person being roasted. Most of them seemed to just go up and do their usual act with some half-hearted segue to make it seem like the bit you’d seen them do a million times was somehow about the person being honored.

I thought about that while I was watching a documentary about the comedian Bob Einstein (A.K.A. Super Dave Osborne). He is the brother of Albert Brooks. Their father was a well-known comedian way back in the day. Bob Einstein swore he would never go into comedy after attending his father’s funeral, because Milton Berle got up, and instead of actually saying anything about the deceased, just did his act.

I wish I found that hard to believe.
