Yes, I've talked to stang about this and it is indeed the left half of "BOB"s
face. David is making an effort now to keep it covered with his left shoulder
for as much of the monolouge as possible, often when david finishes a joke he
will move a bit to the side to let "BOB" peer at a laughing audience.

I faced a remarkably similar dilemma when the Federal
Express prop I was piloting over Des Moines went down in a
remote area behind a shopping mall. At first I tried to
survive on fluorocarbons from leftover spraypaint and
deodorant cans, as well as rusty scraps of metal and old
tires but it all became a little much and I knew I needed a
burger. The only living creature I could get near enough
to to slay, however, was my injured co-pilot, Neddy.
After beating the guy to death with a half-eaten
tire-iron, I coated him with the last of our
fluorocarbons and set him ablaze by rubbing two sticks
together near his carcass. He tasted awful, at least I
_think_ he did, as I never got much past his charred bomber
jacket. I was finally rescued by a plump security guard
who found me rummaging through a trash dumpster in the
mall parking lot, scraps of bone and styrofoam between my
teeth. I've been completely unable to eat humans since!

Better you should wonder if Dave is "on" "Bob"?
Has anyone slacked off and made the pilgrimage to Manhattan in the past couple
of months:

It looks like it's him... The sign in Dave's set looks like a cropping
from a picture of a real sign that appears over a newsstand on the west
side of Amsterdam Avenue between 71st and 72nd streets, just below where
Broadway crosses.
