This post is why I think Dave over at Dave’s Longbox should write comics, or, even better, should write for Days of Our Lives, my wife’s favorite soap opera. His casting of Days character John Black as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent is pure genius:
John Black (into phone): “MODOK, you scumbag. You better pray Marlena isn’t hurt or no force on Earth will save you from me. You read me, freak?”
MODOK: “Brave words, Agent John Black, but soon the city of Salem will belong to MODOK! If only Marlena had loved me when I was human, when I was a fragile psychiatric patient with no memory. Now it is too late for you both. Ha ha ha ha ha!”
John Black (trembling with rage): “MO-DAAAWK!”
When he slicks his hair back and puts on a black shirt, he is unstoppable.

“MARLENA!”
He better come out of that coma soon. I miss his “acting” soooo much.

But he IS acting … can you imagine keeping a straight face while Marlena and Belle cry over you?
He does need to wake up … Salem has been a mess since he went under.

Hilarious. I love John Black. He does have the most convoluted backstory ever though. They need to bring Q back.

Absolutely hillarious. Don’t forget, the “fart method of acting” tip that Joey Tribiani got when he was Dr. Drake Remore on Days of Our Lives – taken straight from the John Black school of reacting.

John is the man. Look up “RoJohn Robo whore” on youtube.
