One of the best comedic speech patters of all time, IMHO. It actually originated with a character called Senator Claghorn.

Dave Sim used it for his Elric-spoofing character, Elrod of Melvinbone.

Elrod the Albino (Elrod of Melvinbone)
Essentially Michael Moorcock's Elric of Melnibone with the voice and personality of Senator Claghorn (or Foghorn Leghorn), Elrod is an almost purely comic character whose main purpose is to frustrate and enrage Cerebus. In Reads it is revealed that he was created by Cerebus' proximity to a magic gem, and after learning this he vanishes from existence. However, Joanne tells Cerebus she and her husband used to live next door to Elrod, who was married at the time to Red Sophia.
