I LOVE this one! Buddy used the "Hallucinator's
Club" joke on June 17, 2004, then re-drew it and resubmitted
it on August 5, 2004, a mere two months later. Could it
be it just wasn't funny enough the first time and he felt
all it needed was the extra audience member? Or is this
like a radio media conglomerate playing and re-playing mediocre
music over-and-over until it's burned into our collective
psyches and eventually embraced as a pop icon?
I'm just axin'.
This gag was also used July 7, 1999 but it originally
syndicated on 5-14-87. That means the same joke has been
used four times. Here's how
the original looked, all the way from 1987:
And,
yes, it's a gag that I wrote.
