I don’t know where the hell this comic came from today. Maybe it’s a commentary on Ashton Kutcher’s omnipresent profile. Maybe it’s a critique of his acting ability. Maybe I just felt like drawing another comic where Jared abuses celebrities. It’s abstract enough to be all three!

Well, if I’m being overly harsh on myself, sooth my dwindling self esteem by voting for Theater Hopper at BuzzComix and taking a gander at another incentive sketch. This one has class written all over it.

Even though I have Jared tagging Kutcher’s bean bag with ferocious velocity in today’s strip, I know for a fact that he’s going to see The Butterfly Effect when it opens in theaters tonight. If you know Jared at all, this should come as no surprise. He enjoys any movie with a trailer cut to look like a Nine Inch Nails video.

Of course, it’s not like I’m getting off scott free this weekend, either. I’m going out to see Win A Date With Tad Hamilton! – quite possibly the most ridiculous title for a movie in the last 5 years. This one stars Topher Grace, Kutcher’s co-star on That 70’s Show. Odd, don’t you think, that they would have movies competing with each other on the same weekend?

Still, if I was a betting man, I’d put my money on Topher to maintain a career past television. Getting your feature debut in Steven Soderbergh’s Traffic is a pretty good start. I mean, Ashton’s first high profile gig was Dude, Where’s My Car?

Dude… do the math.

My affinity for Topher aside (his name is just fun to say – Topher… like “gopher”), I’m not entirely sold on the idea that Win A Date With Tad Hamilton! will be any good. Still, it was directed by the same guy that made Legally Blonde, which I sheepishly admit to enjoying immensely. If he can find the same hidden spark in Kate Bosworth that they did with Reese Witherspoon, then he should have a nice little hit on his hands.

Then again, January is the post-Oscar dumping ground, so don’t hold your breath.
