Robbery Interruptus
Busy week. Here’s my version of “Bad Manners.”

Discovering the Madoffs
Of late, I’ve been feeling dry and uninspired (wonder if there’s an ointment for that). Anyway, I know this isn’t the best thing next to double stuffed oreo cookies, but its the first sketch in a while that I didn’t have to strap myself to the keyboard to write. I really didn’t know how to…

Hippie Diplomacy
Late again this week. Bummer. Here’s to the hippies! May they save us from nuclear annihilation. [fountain] INT.

Pirates of the Strip
Arrgh! Almost didn’t make it this week. But then I realized, like R.A., I haven’t missed a week since I started. Tryin’ to keep the streak alive.

For some reason, I now find pre-existing conditions, snarky nurses, biowaste, and medical uncertainty extremely funny. Either that, or at this point, its all…

God’s Worst Nightmare
How many stupid questions does it take to incite the rapture?

The Line Between Mother and Other
So, what becomes of the women for whom Mother’s Day serves no purpose…?

Bonfire of the Academies
So, I thought it would be fun to bring back Bob and Jim from my earlier sketch Basketball and Bullies… see how they’re doing in the world of novelty sportscasting. Last time it was third grade basketball, this time its fire, cornfields, and hammered, professional nerds. Oh, and by the way – yes, this really…
