Super Chicken said it best years ago. When asked by his sidekick Fred why he didn’t use his super-vision, he said “If I had any supervision, would I be wearing this suit?”
The “Pat the Bunny” reference is just an insult, not a reference to the book she’s carrying. That is, even the meaning of the title of a children’s book is over your head.
Krazy and Felix were icons of their day (I have collections of the former and even some silent animated cartoons of the latter), but my heart belongs to Hobbes and Bill the Cat (of whom I have a wonderfully hideous stuffed version).
Anyone who thinks a gag can be “stolen” on one day for a strip appearing the next may be interested in some Atlantis beachfront property I have available. And who does a St. Patrick cartoon for March 16?
All this has reminded me of one of my favorite snowman gags. In a very old Sunday Peanuts, Linus spends panel after panel making dozens of little snowmen. In the last panel, he stands at a snow podium and addresses them, saying “I suppose you’re all wondering why I asked you here today.”
