Atlas Shrugged WITH GUITARS!Patrick McCray's 1993 three-part comic Elvis Shrugged is, of course, an Affectionate Parody of Ayn Rand's epic Atlas Shrugged.The story targets the music industry and MTV, with the premise that the Elvis Presley everyone thought had died in 1977 was actually a clone created by Presley's manager Col. Tom Parker, and that the real Elvis had gone into hiding and had convinced many other musicians to join him. Because so many quality musicians have disappeared, the recording industry, which has become a conglomerate called Time-Warner-Sony, has largely collapsed. | |

Happily Ever After | |
| Elvis Shrugged (Comic Book) / int_41271766 | comment |
Happily Ever After: James Brown conducts the double-wedding ceremony for Elvis/Madonna and Sinatra/Sinéad. Sinatra says that he has some friends in the construction business who have been hired to rebuild the Statue of Liberty (see below under Take That!), and they are cutting Sinatra and co. a "sweet check for the opportunity," with Madonna pointing out how that's enough to buy up 100% of Time-Warner-Sony, now that they're just about bankrupt. Elvis talks about how he had been waiting for the right time to return to the world and had never really considered the responsibility he had. Madonna says that they've stuck with him this long, and they aren't going to let him down now. | |

Oracular Head: Madonna tells Sinatra that, in 1996, Col. Tom and a psychic had predicted Elvis would return to Graceland on July 4, 1996. That day, Parker brought out "Elvis" at Graceland and everything seemed OK until a freak rainstorm started and "Elvis" was struck by lightning, revealing it to be merely a robot. This sparked a fan riot that saw Parker get his head chopped off as punishment. Somehow, he's still alive after that. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Elvis Shrugged (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Aside from the obvious... Sinead accuses Frank Zappa of pushing "Soma". Col. Tom and co. travel around in a The Man From U.N.C.L.E. promotional blimp. During the Sondheim-Lloyd Webber battle in the Reactor Room, with Lloyd Webber on the verge of victory, Sondheim says, "Face it Webber. This isn't Richenbach Falls and you're far from being my Moriarty." After Elvis's helicopter the Lisa Marie is shot down, George Kennedy asks Sinatra if he has jets on his boots, which Sinatra confirms. Kennedy whispers his plan to Elvis, who says "Sounds crazy but it just might work." Top of the next page, we see that Elvis and co. are airborne on...the Bullwinkle balloon from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. (For the fifth one, see the bottom of this article.) | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight | |
| Elvis Shrugged (Comic Book) / int_d99a228f | comment |
Unusually Uninteresting Sight: None of the villains (Col. Tom, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Peters/Guber, etc.) seem to find anything odd about the Mad Scientist being named Dr. Hilarious Pants. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here | |
| Elvis Shrugged (Comic Book) / int_d9cf40fa | comment |
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Sinatra smashes the wall of his dressing room after Zappa had convinced him to join the cause. Sinéad, of all people, tries to stop him, but he pushes her aside, causing her to land in the brainwashing chair. | |

Awful Wedded Life | |
| Elvis Shrugged (Comic Book) / int_deecc9eb | comment |
Awful Wedded Life: Here, John Lennon and Yoko Ono are married with kids, but their marriage is deteriorating. John is also "artistically restless". Notably, when Elvis convinces him to join the resistance (which involves Faking the Dead apparently) and warns him not to tell Yoko about it, Lennon readily accepts the offer. | |

Antiquated Linguistics | |
| Elvis Shrugged (Comic Book) / int_e1721fd1 | comment |
Antiquated Linguistics: In response to Madonna explaining how Parker was reduced to an animated head by an angry crowd of fans for using a robot duplicate of Elvis Presley, Sinatra says that the "L-7"note "Square" Parker "had it coming." | |

Groin Attack | |
| Elvis Shrugged (Comic Book) / int_eaf5a1ac | comment |
Groin Attack: Sinatra, to Zappa, who has come to recruit him, after Zappa asks, "Why is that the toughest son of a bitch in showbiz is indulging in more self-pity than I've seen, outside of a Henry Jaglom film festival?" | |

Locked Out of the Loop | |
| Elvis Shrugged (Comic Book) / int_f06b07ff | comment |
Locked Out of the Loop: Invoked; Elvis approaches John Lennon with an offer to join him, but warns Lennon not to tell Yoko Ono because he doesn't trust her. With his marriage to Yoko having deteriorated greatly by this point, Lennon agrees to it wholeheartedly. Elvis does let him tell his kids, though. | |
