   It’s interesting this strip is from November 4th in 1978, which puts it just two weeks after Frank Zappa introduced his song “Dancin’ Fool” on Saturday Night Live on October 21st. Not sure how much lead time Trudeau would have needed for a strip back then. If he didn’t see the performance on SNL before writing Zonker’s dialogue, it’s a funny coincidence. (Yes, I do realize the phrase predates Zappa by a fair number of years, it’s just that the song made it a popular catchphrase in the weeks that followed.)
