    The same MacArthur who was Duke’s assistant?

    Y’know, I think it’s “snorkel”. Not too common for Trudeau to make a typo.

    I am in some wise reminded that an early suggestion of a name for what ultimately became “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” was “A Horse, A Spoon, and a Basin”.

    Does anyone remember what year this set of strips ran in? Tried a quick googling and didn’t find it.

    South Park once had a hamster, but I don’t get the other two references.

    This reminds of a story involving a hamster, cardboard tube and a match!

    Hamster? Please tell me this is just a reference to that Hamster Dance from 90’s.

    “Napkin and wine glass?” Is this a Jewish wedding?

    (No kidding. At the end of a Jewish wedding ceremony, the groom traditionally breaks a wine glass by stepping on it to symbolize the loss of the ancient Temple in Jerusalem. To prevent glass shards from scattering, the glass is usually wrapped in a napkin.)

    Sorry, I missed a lot of this decade (in more ways than one!) – are they talking about MacArthur who used to work with Duke?

    I’ve been seeing a lot of cars with snorkels on them in various places lately. Particularly in Fiji, of all places. Seems a little wasteful to me. I mean if the car is really needing its snorkel, the driver is underwater.

    I mean, you were expecting them to be able to source a hamster-sized snorkel on this short notice?!

    .

    (They already had a hamster-sized bicycle, but without the snorkel the effect is ruined.)

    “Pinky, are you pondering what I’m pondering?”

    “I think so, Brain, but where are we going to find a snorkle, a hamster, and a bicycle at this hour?”

    Loses the Surrealist motif, though. :)

    I went on a whitewater raft trip once where half the group was affluent SF gays, my goodness it was a hoot. Their obsession with the niceties or Glamping had the rest of us in stiches, the table cloths and napkins had to match…..
