Jerry and Steven at the Diner
By: Nikola Date: July 24, 2019, 3:21 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
This is something I made the other day while I was
procrastinating... one of those comic strips. I thought they
could be Jerry and Steven, although Jerry has more hair in the
picture than in real life, I hope that's OK. They didn't have
his hairstyle. Anyway, I thought I'd post it now because the
forum's nice and busy. Posting it under World Current Events...
because there's only one way this can go. And yes, you can write
in English this time. So what are they saying/thinking?

But, Nikola, this is all wrong! How can I come up with anything
when this comic strip is SO far from reality?

You didn't complain about the ladybird talking to the dragon or
Count Dracula... actually, you're right, this is less likely to
happen.

I didn't mean their being in the same room, phyiscally. What I
meant was, it's preposterous, simply unimaginable that Steven
would be sitting there, all silent, while Jerry was talking.

Perhaps he's tired from the Greyhound bus ride.

Jerry: "Im so glad to get out of the drudgery of Germany for a
few weeks! I got some vacation time and BAM! I'm off to the US!
Best. Vacation. Ever!"
Steven: "I got to start flying business class. The Icelandic
Air Economy Class Lounge is just a nightmare. Look at this guy!
He is probably homeless."
Jerry: "The U.S. is just a wonderful vacation spot! This time
I am booked in the midwest - touring Ohio, Indiana, then off to
Chicago and ending in Iowa cornfields! I can even opt for the
West Virginia 'coal country' excursion! "The Heartland of
America Tour', so much better than the boring wasteland of
California!"
Steven: "I think I am going to talk to customs about this guy.
Why would anyone ever leave Germany? It is obvious he has lost
his mind. Probably armed. Maybe a Trump supporter!"
Voice of NealC: "Paging SHL, paging SHL, your shipment of
German laxatives has just passed customs".
Steven: "What? I haven't been able to poop since Trump got
elected!"

I�d be telling Jerry he should take a scenic greyhound bus trip
across the country. That way he can visit all those charming
broke-down shantytowns in the Rustbelt, where all those
toothless illiterate people live who elected Trump and go to
Trumps rallies and wear his hats, places like Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Michigan and and listen to all of Trumps B S; he can end
up in Kansas or Nebraska with 500 miles of corn fields in every
direction. Flat as a pancake. Those fly-over States (meaning
you don�t go there, just view them from 32,000 feet and think
�thank god I don�t live there) He can wear the MAGA hat the
whole time and wear an American flag lapel Pin.
Of course at the Trump rally he�ll hear �this is going to be
really, really, really, really great what im going to do.�
(See, the more reallys you put in the sentence, the stronger the
sentence. You are talking heavy duty stuff if you put 4
reallys in there)

Jerry: "Do you think vegans get chickenpox?"
Steven: "Oh, Christ, I should have gone to see Neal instead. Why
does he have to live so far?"
Jerry: "Hey, you could get a job somewhere like this, be around
ordinary people. Wouldn't that be great?"
Steven: "This is unbearable. Keep calm. It�s not the right time
to come out yet. Just keep calm."
Steven: "I'm a Republican! I've known it since I was a kid. I
like nice things. So WHAT?"

The bearded guy is SHL
The one on the right is the Artist
SHL :
Cheer up Jerry! Marxism isn�t that bad!
Jerry:
Maybe he is right and I messed up all my life.
SHL:
It�s never too late! If we win the elections I promise you a
good role. You will play King Lear at the SHN Golden Gate
Theatre.
Jerry:
Should I give it a try? Vote for Bernie Sanders next time?
Jerry:
After all, oncle Donald didn�t keep his promises. He kept all
the money for himself and didn�t boost my career. He isn�t
better than those darn democrats. He isn�t interested in arts.

Panel 1: Have a hamburger, Steve!
[ In fake German accent ] Doesn't this idiot know that
hamburgers originated in HAMBURG, GERMANY? What clowns these
Americans are. He has no right to eat a hamburger. That's
cultural appropriation. This moron Republican has his head so
far up his ass that he has no idea how normal people like me see
the world.
Panel 2: Cheer up, buddy. You'll be back in Germany in a year.
I should have stayed with chasing ambulances, that's where the
big money is. Instead, I'm stuck in court all week representing
these miserable, toothless, Republicans who married their
cousins and who now want a divorce. I could have had the money
in a year or two to flee this God-forsaken US of friggin' A and
carried out my dream of living in Germany. Oy, vey. Where did it
all go so wrong for me.
Panel 3: My life has been wasted, not once did I get to kiss or
hold hands with Helmut Kohl.

Sorry, I didn't practice a German accent. I hope that
angry, bitter old man will do the job. ;D
