High Stakes Comedy

Theo: “Lightfoot, why is it dangerous to graze beef cattle on marijuana?” Lightfoot: “Because the steaks are too high!”

Theo: “Okay, that sounded better in rehearsal.” Lightfoot: “That wouldn’t sound better if it were underscored by John Williams.”

This strip came about from chats with friends who are, as I am, awestruck by John Willams’ compositions. We know his works primarily from films. If you listen to the complete soundtrack to the first produced Star Wars film (as I have, often), you can relive the entire movie in your head. I offer him this backward homage by saying that even he can’t save this old dad joke from bombing.
