HULLLO !

    Uncle Leo sure did admire him, but did we ever get
    to see cousin Jeffrey, or hear from him ?

No. Never. It's sort of like in Cheers. We always hear about Norm's wife Vera, but we never see her...

Yeah we did. It was in the episode the other night on channel4 (uk) where its thanksgiving and they're all cooped up, waiting for norm to finish cooking the turkey. It turns into a huge food fight, and at the end, Vera arrives and Diane smacks her in the face with a cake/pie by mistake (aiming for Sam). So you do see her, through the pie, although agreed, the pie thing is just so you don't get a proper look at her after all this time.

She was quite good looking, young and thin, actually!

Even older than that. Like the guy in the _Smiling Jack_ comic strip (the guy whose shirt button kept popping off, and being caught in the beak of a chicken) whose face we never saw - only an outline in profile.

I suppose some of the more cultured amongst us can trace it back to Shakespeare.

Or is it Smilin' Jack?

Yes, we did. In the Glasses episode, admittedly I wasn't wearing my spectacles, but i'm pretty sure he was making out with Jerry's girlfriend.
