This strip was heavily influenced both by this excellent montage from Mory’s Education and the “>King of Glory” dance, which tournament announcer and four-time champion Stephen Colbert still does. (Apparently I’m not the only one to connect Stephen with DDR.) Stephen: We’re down to four contestants — the atmosphere is tense. [SELECT DIFFICULTY] Players, please… Continue reading Convention Of Fanatic Generation 30/59
Stephen: Final score for player two…Alpha Alpha! Next up: player two versus player thirteen! We’re going to let the finlists rest for a few minutes. Heinkel: Hey, chief, player two’s ocming over here! Seira (Japanese): {Well done, Meimi! Have some water.} Meimi: {Thanks, Seira.} Yumie: They know each other? Okay, ‘Rico, now you HAVE to… Continue reading Convention Of Fanatic Generation 32/59

But there is one faith, explained in this video, that I could never joke about. For one thing, it’s a great and true religion for which I have profound… Continue reading Jon Stewart Is God [Video]
Stephen: JFK took direct orders from the Pope. Catholics knew that. We just didn’t tell you people. Maxwell: Stop giving away our secrets! You’ll be telling them about Section XIII next! – Stephen Colbert (the character) and Enrico Maxwell are too much alike. They would either get along famously or hate each other’s guts. –… Continue reading Raid the Sketchbook – Clothes and Colbert
Enrico’s dance-off, from Catholicon, begins here. No wonder the Colbert Report dance-off (between Stephen and Korean rapper Rain, from May 5, 2008) felt like something I’d seen before. Enrico: Get me the Colbert Report studio. Operator: We only have one number for them, and it’s– Enrico: I don’t care! Just dial! Stephen: This is Ste–… Continue reading Colbert Dance-Off
Requisite Jon-Stewart-and-Stephen-Colbert cameo. Erin: Even though early Jewish cartoonists wrote white-bread characters, the Jewish mythos is still there. Just look at Superman. The destruction of his home planet parallels the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 AD. He was forced from his homeland, and separated from the house of his parents (i.e. God… Continue reading A Brief History, Of Sorts, Of Judaism 2/6
