Lost Piece: 2007, Drudge Report Parody (Patreon)

On a routine hunt for artwork of a character in a certain pose, I came across this scratch board for something that wasn't quite a strip, and never made it into any other completed form. It's from eighteen years ago, so enjoy the Al Gore and Anna Nicole Smith references. (If you aren't familiar with the Drudge Report, it's the Internet's original answer to the question, "What if the Weekly World News teamed up with a paranoid guy talking to himself in a booth at Jack in the Box?" [In this scenario, the table is completely empty of food, napkins, etc.]
