    I looked up the mention made of a perfume and found:

    John Phillips Smog + Titanic Eau De Perfume

    The older I get, the more bizarre some of the younger generations activities seem to be.

    With automobiles drawn by Foxo Reardon for the Bozo strips, typically the vehicles are shown hovering above the roadway when they are in motion.

    With Nancy strips, a motor vehicle doesn’t appear to leave the road, unless a vehicle has been in a crash of some kind.

    I detect a British flavour to the language that ”Claire” is using.

    For example ”you lot…” and the aggressive alliterations in panel one.

    I spent a year and some in England as a student and found many interesting differences between my own Canadian English and the speech patterns of native Englanders.

    Oh yes, Walter White and ”Breaking Bad”!

    I haven’t owned a television set for many years but ”Breaking Bad” was one of the serial type shows that I did enjoy way-back-when.

    Thank you for the tip.

    I patronize Wikipedia before I go anywhere near google stuff.

    However, I found excellent information about Marion Holland at Wikipedia.

    A Big Ball of string by Marion appears to be a very cool book.

    The brilliant ideas are Bushmiller’s but I am delighted that you enjoy his work.

    Yeah, I think Ernie was dealing from the bottom of the deck for the strip.

    He drifted into-and out-of taking a surrealist approaches to the strip.

    Dusty?

    My ancient memories have a ”Dusty Springfield” but that’s about all.

    With respect to hats, are you referring to Pork Pie Hats, the hats with “narrow brims”?

    I love Pork Pie Hats.

    Over the previous year and this year, I added three to my collection of favourtie hats.

    I got a couple of Black Pork Pies and lovely Gun Metal Gray.

    All of them came with beautiful feathers.

    Such quantities of whiskers reminds me of the ZZ Top Trio; Elwood Francis, Billy Gibbons & Frank Beard.
