These guys are now older than Carlin was in the original
Crazy.
shareI wonder how they explain his absence. He came back in a time machine so he could drop in on them anytime he wants. Are they going to say he died?
shareThat's a good question. I think I would just say something like he was "promoted" in their world/government, but he handpicked his replacement before he left. Then just make it someone awesome.

I think that's pretty cool. Paying respect and all.
