   He’s driving on a track coated with “moly-lube”, and grip is NOT in his future.

   Check the difference in the eyes. Zip has the eyes of a child, full of wonderment, innocence and vulnerability, Jeff the sunglass-shaded eyes of a no-bid-contracted “black ops” agent conning a whore in a $20 million coke deal in a bar in a Monaco casino. (DICK Cheney would be sooo pleased.)

   What an obviously unrealistic premise, Zip! Everybody knows that the Red Rascal wouldn’t be eligible for a knighthood, as he’s not British.

   @rpmurray

   Graphic novel writer Jeff’s a reichwing wannabe plutocrat down on his luck right now. But fear thou not, rpmurray, “fair ‘n’ balanced” Garry Trudeau’ll bail ’im out.

    Did the Red Rascal ever actually go on any adventure other than losing the ransom money?

    “Dual nationality can occur as the result of a variety of circumstances. The automatic acquisition or retention of a foreign nationality, acquired, for example, by birth in a foreign country or through an alien parent, does not affect U.S. citizenship. It is prudent, however, to check with authorities of the other country to see if dual nationality is permissible under local law. Dual nationality can also occur when a person is naturalized in a foreign state without intending to relinquish U.S. nationality and is thereafter found not to have lost U.S. citizenship: the individual consequently may possess dual nationality. While recognizing the existence of dual nationality and permitting Americans to have other nationalities . . . .”

    Jeff’s Red Rascal character CAN INDEED BE KNIGHTED. Under special circumstances, which can be arranged, obviously, by cartoonist Garry Trudeau. (Unbelievers, read the post above, third one up, the quote from an official U.S. government website.)

    You guys never heard of an honourary knighthood? ’Course he can!

    “Britain is to recognise Bill Gates’ contribution to UK enterprise and the fight against poverty worldwide with the sort of honour money just can’t buy – a knighthood.

    Bill, who is reported to be “absolutely delighted”, will sadly not be Sir Bill of Seattle but, as a US citizen, may henceforth be addressed by the honorary title of Bill Gates KBE (Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire). He joins an illustrious list of fellow Americans previously mounting the British honours podium for their contribution to the advancement of humanity worldwide, including Dubya’s peace-loving pa George Bush Senior."
