    I don’t know why, but I can’t see this guy without thinking of Stan the used boat salesman from Monkey Island.

      Dude, I can see the reference but at no point could I imagine Stan raping minors. BTW Ron Gilbert is the coolest anti-maga dude out there. Finally a childhood hero that doesn’t suck.

        It sure is saying something when Stan was written as being the skeeziest person imaginable, yet here we are a few decades later and are like “yeah Stan’s a scumbag, but he’s not even remotely comparable to the congressman that the President wanted to appoint as Attorney General.”

          Yeah, I used Stan as my inspo when I was cast as Ali Hakim in Oklahoma and didn’t want to do brown face (in part because my India Indian accent sucked, in part because it felt wrong) and the take on the character slew.
