His son Howard, also known as Seif the Knife, abbreviated both of my sons.
We could have used him as a motivational tool.

Or else what, Dukie?
Do you still have a little hat on your wee-wee?
Never mind. I'm sure you can't even see it over your beer belly.

Who is Tom the Bomb?!
What's a guy gotta do around here to get the interoffice memo about a hiring?

Tom the bomb is apparently Super Frankenstein. Like a butterfly or tadpole (or Walter Carlos) he has morphed into something else.
Or maybe he's like Crazy Jane from the Doom Patrol (coincidentally, just read his intro to "Crawling From The Wreckage.")
And Duck-Brain, I just mentioned your beer gut and did not disparage it.
Don't mess with me, you syphilitic old coot. I can have your welfare checks stopped JUST LIKE THAT!
