Brutus Isn't Even Attempting to Raise His Boat

July 8, 1967
A problem Wilberforce? This is a far cry from the idiotic milquetoast Wilberforce we currently have in the strip. I can't picture today's Wilberforce carrying dynamite under his arms, having a two-by-four strapped to his back (or is that a rifle?), and a violin case that is obviously disguising a Tommy gun.

Clearly Brutus doesn't learn from his mistakes because Brutus loses accounts all the time. Master's degree? Brutus is on his doctorate of mistakes by now.

Gunke? I wonder if it's pronounced Gunk, Gunk-ee, Gunk-ay, or Günke like Tobias Fünke in Arrested Development.
