The image on your site is a scanned copy. You might want to consider replacing it with the 2nd image above which is clearer.

Madalch, yours comes from one of my favorites. Frank’s quote predates it by at least two decades. That one’s before my time, but I know someone else who remembers it fondly.

Google has the answers.

Frank- is that from the same place as, “Have another popover, Froggie!”

(Followed shortly after by, “Well, he can’t stay here- for one thing, he eats all the popovers!”)

Sparkle, You might be getting a bit long in the tooth if you can identify, “Plunk your magic twanger Froggie!”. ( It’s not ARLO PAGE material.)

Sparkle: I got it and I’m only 30. But then, I remember the Bill Cosby version of YBYL…

I like that Satchel guesses a sum as low as $20.

That “Irony” strip would have been funny five or so years ago, but I honestly can’t recall anyone making jokes about Bush’s mispronunciations and mangled metaphors in a long, long time.

The “Donner Party” gag is just a ripoff of a Robin Williams line…

Where’s the X-Men/Peanuts parody from? I love that one!
