At least it wasn't a pink flamingo. Nice of the cadets to think of you as well.

Is it just me, or does anybody else see Alfred E. Newmann in that cartoon?

Before I beg to differ, sir- is that a picture of Major Carrales, or Alfred?  ;D ;D

It's Alfred.

I've seen the Major's picture. His ears don't stick out that far, and he has all his teeth.

I see a striking resemblance between Comic Maj Carrales and Alfred. Maybe not real-life, but there is a certain similarity between them... YMMV

Fix your browser. The pic works here, but I'll try to redo the link.

[Edit - how is it now?]

Nothing. I do have my browser fixed. That's probably why I can't see it. I've got Firefox locked down pretty tight so I don't get infected with crap.

Edit:
Going through the page source I pulled this link (http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs203.snc4/38510_450446710475_724795475_6419726_5138250_n.jpg) out and saw it.

The Cadet giving him the keychain looks like a cousin of A.E. Neuman

Hope y'all enjoyed the pic.  There was no "Alfred" connection...save for the expression in the cadets face on the final panel, I was going for a "WHAT ME WORRY?" look.

Yes, I tried to model the Major on myself...as not to offend any particular person.  I once drew one of these using "Major MacKillroy," a character from some of my failed writings but got an email that it looked like some fellow, A COMM person, in the Colorado Wing. 

While I dismissed that as "ribbing" I did not want to take a chance.

OK, I just looked at the Major's FB pic, and he's an older Alfred, with fixed teeth.

Sorry, Joe. I have my own resemblance issues.

Sparky, how true to life is your image in the comic?? Because it strikes me you look a lot like US Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ).

Yikes!!!  We do seem to have the same MO.  I could play him in a movie and get away with it.  In any case, the Major in the cartoon is only "based" on me.

We'll get someone classy to play you in the film version -- Edward James Olmos, Jimmy Smits, like that!

Man, the oddities of dreams.  I think it was a combination of being away from home, this thread and watching (partially) Ronald Coleman in "The Prisoner of Zenda" and "A Tale of Two Cities" that made me have a dream that Sen. Melendez and I met and exchanged places.

"The Prince & The Pauper" had a similar plot but a happier ending!
