People often ask me, “Reverend, why a kangaroo?” (In fact: No they don’t. No one ever asks me anything.) The answer is simple: Kangaroos are awesome. And they help to make Australia awesome. ‘Cause Australia’s awesome, too. Check it out: Just yesterday, I received my Australian DVD of Destroy All Monsters – possibly the most important of all Godzilla movies, save the original. And yet, will anyone anywhere put out an English-subtitled DVD of it? Generally, noooooo. But Australia will! Kangaroos, Destroy All Monsters, Cate Blanchett – my hat is off, land down under!
And, as usual, the cartoon has nothing to do with any of this!
ANNOTATIONS!
- This is a cartoon about me at my wedding reception. I really oughta go to more parties; virtually every time I do, I get a cartoon about my poor behavior out of it.
- Cartoon Baby – back from the dead!
- The last panel is based, very roughly, on the Joker’s throne from “Batman: The Killing Joke,” which is a work of pure, unvarnished genius.
