I kind of wish we had a strip where Jerry barked at an employee, probably some Christmas help that was gonna be let go anyway, and got a punch in the face for it. This leads to an arc where there’s a trial for physical assault, the defendant claims verbal and emotional abuse, and we essentially have Grumbel’s attitude toward its staff put on trial by proxy, with their legal team being made to torpedo themselves with corporate insistence on applying “Grumbel’s logic” to the courtroom. Ah, but one can dream…
Please God smite this man

I think Jerry just suffers from a deep seated bitterness at his life.
