I told you this wouldn't be a hip cultural reference. I don't watch all those fresh new TV shows the kids are into, like Murphy Brown, Will & Grace, Hawaii 5-0, Magnum P.I., The Odd Couple, and The Connors.
There once was a time when not knowing the characters, plot and dialogue from Cat on a Hot Tin Roof was grounds for forfeiting one's Gay Card. But time swishes on, and it's perfectly acceptable not to be conversant in Technicolorᵀᴹ culture any more. Hell, you probably don't even have to know who Madonna is.
But I've gone ahead and based this week's cartoon on the Tennessee Williams play; and to complicate matters even further, I haven't added labels to identify the people on stage. (I'll give you Jeff Flake as Gooper Pollit, since I got his hair color wrong.)

P.S.: There are times when I think that maybe it's time to hang up the business of drawing Donald Berzelius Trump with a pig's snout. Then he goes and gratuitously insults the intelligence of a reporter at a press conference before she even has a chance to ask her question, and then riffs on and on mocking a sexual assault victim before a cheering crowd of — yes, I'm going there — deplorables.
And at times like this, I worry that I'm being unfair to swine.
