It’s been established in previous strips that the Cornfather does kid parties on occasion, only, the costumes weren’t so horrifying in previous installments (JEFbot.21). And since we’re on the subject of Star Wars, it can certainly be argued that Anakin was even more annoying than Jar Jar Binks in Episodes I, II and III, but nothing quite symbolizes how the prequels went wrong like Jar Jar. Especially for people from my generation that loved the Original Trilogy so enthusiastically.

Something approximating the conversation in this strip happened between Michael Cornacchia (the Cornfather’s inspiration) and I a couple weeks back. He didn’t have a “Naughty List” then, but if he did, I’m sure you wouldn’t want to be on it.

As documented way back in JEFBOT.20_Sith Happens, Michael hosts kid parties on the weekends, and this time of year, Mr. Kris Kringle’s his big thing. So if you want the best Santa in Hollywood and you live near L.A., send me an email and I’ll see if he and his fat pad are available. (I’ll find out if I can post his booking info here to make it easier. Check back later.)
