Adventures in Comic-Boxing: It's Jeff... NO IT'S NOT!

This just happened to catch my eye - IT'S JEFF #2 Variant Cover (Marvel Comics, Cover Date: May, 2023).

According to the description supplied by... AHEM, Disney/Marvel, "Jeff" is a land-shark... which, I suppose, is better than being a LOAN-shark...

...Or less isolated than being a LONE-shark, but not quite as chatty as a PHONE-shark, nor as sharp as a HONE-shark, nor as complaining as a MOAN-shark, nor as "on-key" as a TONE-shark... and not nearly as intently focused as an [In the] ZONE-shark!  

But Disney/Marvel got one thing wrong... not matter how cute their land-shark may look, picking-off a rubber duckie floating with the Sub-Mariner on it's back, in a presumed bathtub (note the tiles)... Um... How can I say this... IT'S JUST NOT JEFF!  

THIS IS JEFF!!!  Has been since 1907!  

He's no SHARK! ...He may be a STUPE, but not a SHARK!  

And he comes with one of the best "straight-men" in the history of comics... Augustus Mutt! 

So, accept no substitutes... ask for the original by name... HIS NAME IS... JEFF... (as in) MUTT AND  JEFF!

And he's a RIOT...

...Even if he must say so himself!
