It'd Be Like Those Goofy "How To..." Shorts

I actually did a casting call for The Born Loser way back in 2008. You can still read it although all the pictures are broken. The cast wouldn't hold up today. Kathy Bates is probably done with acting whenever Matlock comes to an end; Bruce Willis is riddled with dementia; and Bea Arthur has been dead for 17 years. Not to mention, the two kids I cast are now in their 30s. Who would I cast these days? I don't know. I haven't thought about it. Honestly, it'd probably be animated and look terrible.

I have been reading a biography of John Quincy Adams and he was a Senator for a short time. He was the one that pushed that if the president is going to purchase a giant chunk of land from the French, Congress should do something to codify it to make it legal. But he saw all these other glaring omissions from the Constitution (Wait, so the Vice President can literally murder a guy and still be vice president and president of the Senate?) and when he would bring this stuff up, other Congressmen would just ¯\(°_o)/¯. I wonder how much our country would be different if we just listened to John Quincy Adams.

Classic strips will return when I get the rest of 1967 organized.
