[The camera opens on Mike and Zonker who are sitting in foldable chairs in

Mike:For those of you who read this strip you will have noticed that there
is no story for today and there is a very good reason for that.

Zonker: We felt that releasing a comic strip on Martin Luther King Day would
be insulting to all of our viewers.

Mike: Now, some people might say that this is just some cynical way for us
not to do any writing for tonight well that is simply not true. We are
giving our respect to a great man and to an important  American holiday.

Zonker: Yeah... but what about us skipping out on Boxing Day?

Mike: Uh... All hate mail should be sent to bogue@negia.net.

Until I find better things to write about. Ja ne.
