I was really hoping that someone would have commented, explaining the joke to me. I’m afraid I owe Flavio’s father 100 Lire as well.
Flavio is the joke – and the old codger recognizes him. Get it?
Arlecchino considers Flavio to be a joke. Since il Dottore knows his name, he “recognizes a joke when presented to him.”
Reminds me of an Abbott and Costello gag: Bud and Lou are in a sporting goods store, and the clerk suggests that Lou work out with a pair of dumbbells. Lou says, “Okay, I’m ready when you and Abbott are.”
I like this replacement comic.
