If you've ever sat around wondering, "What's better than comic books and Charles Barkley?"--and I've lost countless hours to this activity myself--cheer up. It turns out that there's a very simple answer: Charles Barkley IN comic books.
(Via the JayPinkerton.com forums. The next time the man gives me aggro for lurking around there too much, I'm going to point to this and remind him that sometimes it pays off.)

I like the statement in panel 4: "I'm going to put this on the air!" It sort of implies the culmination of an actual complex decision process: Barkley taller than 200 feet plus addressing, not ignoring, Godzilla = sufficient newsworthiness to go live. Barely.

You're tellin' me! And what is Godzilla spraying at Sir Charles on the cover? Or is that question better left unanswered?
If I participated in forums anywhere, which I do not--but if I did, "Godzilla Got Busy" would have to be my avatar.
Well, that, or Charles' "shock and awe" face from the other comic. Decisions, decisions.
