Ellen DeGeneres Makes Comics Cameo in 'Big Top'

By: E&P Staff The circus-themed "Big Top" comic periodically references pop celebrities. The latest to be mentioned -- in the current story line that began April 4 -- is Ellen DeGeneres.

In the sequence, Wink the bear is feeling sad because he's not getting a big reaction from the circus crowd. So Wink decides to liven things up by dancing with the audience like DeGeneres does on her show. This leads DeGeneres, in today's comic, to call to complain about her idea being stolen.

"Big Top" is by Rob Harrell of Universal Press Syndicate.
