Strip by: Crazy56U

{Krusty the Clown is shooting the breeze with Lenny and Carl at the Nuclear Power Plant near a bulletin board}
{And if you think I'm giving you any context for this, you are sadly mistaken}
Lenny {casually}: So, you ever meet Barbara Eden?
Krusty: I cream-pied her once at an awards show. Long story short, I needed to have my pupik reattached.
Carl: Wow. Jeannie kicked your butt.
{close up on Krusty as Lenny approaches the board}
Krusty {annoyed}: But I don't miss being a celebrity. The pressure to entertain was suffocating me.
Lenny {pointing to the Garfield strips on the board}: Hey, you got Garfield strips here. I thought you were supposed to avoid comedy.
(Krusty takes a sip of coffee)
Krusty: It's a "Bachelors, baby" strip.
Lenny {sheepishly rubs back of neck; blushing}: Oh.
Krusty: Well... Those shrinkage projections aren't going to depreciate themselves.
