Walter Brennan has been dead for over 40 years now. Mentioning him in the strip tells us who they think their readers are (…not anyone who is young…). I remember watching him weekly on The Real McCoys.
Read that whenever Walter Brennan took on a new role, his first decision was whether to wear the false teeth he’d had from a young age. His dual role in “The Gnome-Mobile” let him do both – with as the lumber baron, without as the gnome.

Boy, these guys know how to make sense. Funny, you’d think Phil would have clued in by now how thrilled Fritzi is with him.

Working for a street mission, I seem to recall that Fritzi was very impressed with your work and she loves to join in on special occasions.

A Walter Brennan and an Ed Wynn reference. Wynn was known as the Perfect Fool.

“Mr. Gower’s Diner” — guess he quit the drug store, huh? And now Les and More want Phil and Fritzi to have “A Wonderful Life”!

The bolding of every other word is so distracting
