    The thing that jumped out at me was the reference to Freddy the Pig:

    “I think that I shall never see,
    Another pig as smart as me”

    It’s also a reference to the poem “Trees” by Joyce Kilmer: “I think that I shall never see, A poem lovely as a tree ….”

    Yes, seriously! Look it up!

    The thing was the Krishna’s were out of control back then you could hardly go through a large airport with getting bothered.

    To those seeking lodgeing, offer: “Three rooms over a vacant lot, about ten blocks away.”

    Interesting that Berkeley misspelled “cough” but not “dough.”

    Same here. One of the best toons ever. Hairy fishnuts became THE discreet swear word by my friends and I.

    “Hairy Fishnuts” has become a non-holiday greeting in my family. When a gift is given on a regular day we’ll say “Merry Christmas. Happy Birthday. Hairy Fishnuts…”
