Poncho: Come on, little pigeon, we're almost there. You tired? Okay, c'mon. You can ride up on my shoulders. How's that?
Bobby: Who run barter town?
Poncho: Okay, can it.
But the Master ran Blaster, and Master-Blaster’s attempted coup was defeated by Max, so Aunty Entity (Tina Turner) regained control. SHE run Barter Town!
Great reference. Gets even funnier when you realize Master was the brains of the two while Blaster who carried him had a reduced mental capacity (trying to make this as PI as possible to not offend).
WOW - I did see the movie (and enjoyed it a lot), but it’s been a LOOOOOONG time - I’m embarassed to say I had to look that up! Wow - that took me back!

Master-Blaster runs Bartertown. From “Mad Max, Beyond Thunderdome.”

Good thing Poncho is holding Bob as Poncho doesn’t really have shoulders. LOL

Great reference. Obscure, but great…
(I know I’m in the minority, but “Beyond Thunderdome” is my favorite of the series…)

Mine too, Fritz. Mostly because Mel was at his cutest. :D

Thanks for the Mad Max fill in all. This strip just gets funnier by the second now. Poncho has no clue how deeply he has been insulted.
