Apparently it doesn't work

The author of this fascinatingly asinine comic:
i-897f29f21d37a415f09890e2c9940c7a-200612131030.jpg

Was arrested twice in the last month, once for driving under the influence and once for public intoxication.

Now, drunk driving itself is Not Funny™, but it is funny that the DUI arrest happened on the same day his comic strip about the horrors of alcohol-free egg-nog ran in almost 400 newspapers across the nation.

Nitpicker has a contest under way to provide an actual punchline for a Mallard Fillmore comic. I've already submitted my Mel Gibson-inspired concept, but if you think you can do better, leave a comment there.
