#360: Writers Strike explain
[Cueball sits in front of a desk with a computer. Black Hat stands behind him.]
Cueball: This writer’s strike sucks.
Black Hat: Why? You don’t watch sitcoms.
[Cueball is off-panel.]
Cueball: Yeah, but it sucks having political campaigns without Jon Stewart’s commentary.
Black Hat: True. I finally got sick of it a couple weeks ago.
[Black Hat points at a door. Cueball is still off-panel.]
Cueball: And you quit following the campaigns?
Black Hat: No. I kidnapped Jon Stewart to do analysis for me.
Cueball: You what?
[Black Hat is shouting at the door.]
Black Hat: He’s locked in the basement.
Black Hat: Jon! Obama’s leading in Iowa! Gimme a wry, witty comment on the situation!
Jon Stewart [Voice coming from door]: Please let me go. I have a family.
