Panel 4 is a joke most people today won’t get. That red balloon with the outlines of the continents on it was the symbol of the BBC during the late 90’s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_One_%27Balloon%27_idents
Susan Newman: I think the next to last panel is Queen Vic and her eldest son Albert-Edward, better known as Edward, Prince of Wales. I recognized him from the pics on my dad’s Prince Edward Cigars boxes when I was a child. :-) It’s the same Edward that Pab usually shows talking with Victoria, just when he was a few years older than the one we normally see here.
The puppet bodies in the last panel belong to King Friday XIII and his Queen, from “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.”I never knew Queenie was a puppet ruler.
If you think I never go after Obama, I refer you to the strip from May 30, 2009. I was planning to re-run it next week, but I’d rather shoot you down now. There’s also a very harsh week about Obama that’s included in “Unamused Birds.” Why not pre-order a copy and see for yourself.
From Wikipedia;“Who Put the Bomp (In the Bomp, Bomp, Bomp)” is a Doo-wop style hit song from 1961 co-written (with Gerry Goffin) and recorded by Barry Mann. He was backed up by The Halos"
Thanks, Pab. I only know BBC from my cable’s BBCA, and have only watched shows there since getting TiVo (allowing me to record all that I like and watch it when I prefer). I understood the Spanish and French only and glad that Corque corrected Steverino.

I can only translate Beethoven’s, anyone else want to tackle the others?

French – this is not a king, Spanish – you sank my battleship, and Herr Beethoven is obvious.

Thanks for the BBC info, Pab. I certainly didn’t get that reference. I am very ashamed.
