A bunch of drivers who wanted to save on their car insurance didn't call Geico; instead they headed out and settled the land we know as Connecticut.
They established a capital and named it after their leader, Joe Hartford.
The rest of the state was named after the other drivers: Irma Bridgeport, Lou Waterbury, Alex Torrington, Sabrina Greenwich, Harold Willimantic, Jason Northgrosvenordale, ...
A bunch of pregnant women carrying Elvis impersonators colonized what we know as Mississippi, so that their babies could impersonate the King, right down to his state of birth.
They established a capital and named it after the first one to give birth, Lisa-Marie Jackson.
The rest of the state was named after the other mothers-to-be: Barbara Biloxi, Annie Tupelo, Martha Vicksburg, Janet Meridian, Holly Springs, Bella Westpoint, Lois Yazoocity, ...
Martha Stewart begins her prison sentence, but she has a plan.
Making a candelabra out of a smuggled pack of cigarettes and using a can of sterno from the cafeteria and origami-wadded toilet paper, she creates an icosaflamethrower and blows her way to freedom.
But Martha Stewart failed to consider that she was being incarcerated in West Virginia.
Artist's rendition of her cell after the escape
Stupid Producer, blowing the whole special effects budget on panel 2.
We are experiencing zero job creation in this country, prices are going up, the economy is staggering, and worldwide oil demand is rising exponentially. What do you plan to do about it?
Uh ... wangs?
Look at that. My opponent has no idea. Why, the little lightbulb over his head is burnt out!
You don't even know how to change the bulb over your head, do you? This is the only place where you can find someone who can't change a lightbulb alone.
Let's see. My quetzalcoatlism is worth 37 points, but it goes over three triple word squares, so multiply by 27, plus 50 for the bingo, is 1049 points.
All right. Good word. Looks like you rack up a big seven points for ...
The guy who killed Robert Kennedy wans to see me? He must have gone on quite a Bender! I'm just a small-time marsupial farmer.
I know, but that's what he said, miss. We think you'd better get down here.
I can sense the balance of the universe. And I know you've been thinking of terminating the pregnancies of some of your animals. Don't do it, or it's Doomsville for all of us.
Like, the universe will implode, or something?
Exactly, and one more thing. To ensure that the proper timeline unfolds, you and your family must NEVER watch a Matt Groening cartoon that takes place around the year 3000. Understand?
Ok, Sirhan Sirhan. Whatever wallabies will be. Futurama's not ours to see ...
We have deployed two hundred dogs into space to serve as an early warning system for alien attack. They have been given a designer stimulant that will keep them awake 24/7.
Grrrrrr...
zzzzzzzzzzz...
Space Collie, check. Orbital Beagle, check. Uh oh! 199 of the dogs are alert, sir, but it looks like the Sky Lab has crashed.
It's so tragic what happens to comic strip characters when they die. They don't even know they're dead.
Yeah, their ghosts walk the comic pages, just a shade of their original selves, barely able to force a laugh. But how can we tell which ones are still alive?
I don't know about anyone else, but we're in luck. The comics graveyard is just on the other side of town.
Oooooh, let's go!
Oh my goodness! Garfield's been dead 18 years. The Wizard of Id pushing up the daisies. Oh no! Here's the late Beetle ...
Whoa, this is so sad. Did you know all the Family Circus kids were slaughtered in a single afternoon?
I eat out of a bowl on the floor -- if I'm lucky it's ground chuck, and I get hitched to a short leash and told when and where to pee. You don't let me run out in the street by myself.
Where is my Egyptian assistant? He has a lot to do today, burning the donkey, putting together the display on summertime in France, and checking out the new Spielberg DVD.
Chief, why do you appear so unhappy at the sight of me?
Do you realize the moment you should be starting working?
A simple eight. Hassim, you're later, I'm simply lit. Ass immolate, assemble "Ete", and sample E.T. Assimilate?
Brad, I think I've spotted a bug in the stripcreator code. When I write my 2000th comic, the registers will overflow, my comic count will reset to 0, and all my comics will be erased.
