It's an obtuse reference to a Beatles lyric:





This doesn't make it any more of a joke, though
It doesn't help that Batiuk seems to have missed the joke of the original lyrics (at least the way my mom told it to me), referring to how many (rear end)holes it takes to fill the concert hall.

And they had a few.

It’s difficult to express how much I like drawing these characters. I had a good look at self-published Giant Days 2 and 3 to try get the feel for how I drew them back in 2012 – the way I draw has changed so much, even though it is in service of the same desired effect.

I find the little alien to be the laziest of the Bizarro "Secret Symbols" - 99 times out of 100 they just stick it zooming into one of the corners and don't even attempt to hide it - but I had a chuckle at giving it an outfit to match the theme. Look at his little hat! (The joke itself is bad.)

Also my eyes went straight to the second half of that Family Circus strip and I thought Billy was trying to hasten his snowman's death with a hot water bottle.

Vintage Mandrake & Johnny Hazard still aren't updated on CK. Looking at the comments, apparently this is a problem with all of CK's vintage comics right now. I'll give it until tonight before posting the rest of my comics, I guess.

One time in school, they had us play this DOS game that taught the food pyramid. I only remember it because it said that butter was under fat and not dairy(fair) & ice cream was under dairy and not sweets(:psyduck:).

Breakfast foods are arbitrary, eat whatever you want for breakfast and eat bacon/eggs/etc any time of day you want to. :colbert:
