I think this was great. It humanizes Dick and his family. We probably needed a little break as much as they did. I notice that Popeye was never shown, even though he was obviously referenced. That was the right way to do it.
So, for the purposes of the strip, Dick is “ex-Navy.” I know someone here said that may not be a very accurate description, but there it is. As for Popeye, I suspected he might be ex-Navy, though I don’t know if that ever came up in the Popeye strip.
What is that toy that Joe is playing with? It looks like an old jet like a DC-3 of something. It doesn’t seem to have many windows for a jet. I realize that the drawing is somewhat simplified, but it kind of looks like a cross between a 747 and the Space Shuttle. If not, it’s some kind of shark-shaped submersible (sort of shark-shaped at least).
