Yes, I love how he looks into the box as if -
- he can't believe it could be empty.
(And BTW, yesterday I forgot to mention that my English Minor mind wondered if it was ever considered correct English to say "must have ate it" rather than "must have eaten it"? At times forms of verbs change or evolve, but I looked through several dictionaries and none said that "ate" was an arcane form of the past participle of eat. It would seem that it's not been anything but "eaten." Then I discovered all sorts of grammatical Web sites that said "ate" is never to be combined with "have" or "has" - always use "eaten." So that brings up the questions: Did the writers write the line that way for some reason because they thought Carl would say it that way, or did John Karlen simply make an honest mistake when he delivered it? Though I suppose that in the long run only people who majored or minored in English would care. )

Such a good role for Johnny Karlen, and showed how versatile and nuanced an actor he was.
So true - it was definitely a departure for him. And I don't know if he ever played another role similar to it. Nothing I'd ever seen him in comes to mind. But Carl was a complete hoot, especially during the Zombie Quentin period!

Well, when he wasn't hysterically swinging on rubber tombstones, LOL.
Also so true.
