Take your fame where you can get it.
From elementary school, more than 60 years ago:
What’s purple and conquered the world?
Alexander the Grape.
Left: Conquerer of ‘The Iron Age.’
Right: Consumer of ‘The Plastic Age.’
I think I remember a Far Side where Alexander is just sitting around the house. His mother tells him he’d better get moving if he doesn’t what to spend his life being known as “Alexander the Pretty Good”.
Check out “Wallace The Brave” here on GoComics. Great comic!
excellent…..as good as his panel of john the baptist/sid the dentist
This would make a great “clip and save.” Keep it in your wallet for reference!
Only because he’s not wearing a hat. Barry would be a great.. something, if he had a hat.
Alexander the Great, conquer of much of western Asia! Died young. Barry the Shmuk, the mortician who lost the body!
Looks like an unshaven Rowan Atkinson.
Kliban really captures the essence of shmuck.
Barry the Enforcer maybe? Schmucks wouldn’t dress this well!
