#4 Can’t Dennis Rodman help us out here and get Kim Jong Un on the phone and find out if he is dead, in a coma or just a bad haircut.

#5 /\ Phones cannot be trusted. I must insist on a series of face-to-face meetings and reports.

#6 And before anyone knew it Dennis Rodman was First Lady of North Korea. The new nation was not sane by any measure but became significantly less dangerous to the rest of the world.

#7 Sometime during that last meeting with Trump the conversation turned to -

"Now if you want some real entertainment and notice, this is how you play the Western media...."

#8 You'll all be sorry when Jong Un comes back, and blast the sea with a hurricane of fire.

#10  blast the sea with a hurricane of fire

Like the "flare up" the quarantine fanatics and media are counting on.

#11 The choochoo train observation could be the new supreme leader taking possession and picking out new curtains, or it could be pudgy playing the I’m dead, who wants s my job game, to find new things to use with his ZSU 23-4 toys. My hope is he’s only half dead and lingers for a long, painful twilight.

#15 Hiding from the virus?

But seriously, folks, this would be my guess.

#16 I can't believe that we get rid of this guy so easily.

#19 I would also guess that Wonsan is one of the nicer locales in North Korea, one of the best places available to Pudgy to practice social distancing.



Dunno what the water temperature is but it looks like he'd have the whole beach to himself. He might find that floating in the water eases the pressure on his knees.

#20 Hiding from the virus would be my guess. He's chock full of danger factors: morbid obesity, diabetes, heart trouble, and a really bad haircut.

NKor reports "no" coronavirus cases, which is possible because nobody goes there, but not likely because the only people who do go there are Chinese.

#21 ^He's also rumored to have a bunch of doubles.
