330. “Have you been eating snails again?”

August 4, 2011

Q: In which issue does the strip Timberland Tales feature Maurice ripping a nasty fart (“Sweee * Fraaap!”). As Kathleen swoons in the Dr. Rogers’ arms he exclaims “Mother of mercy, Maurice! Have you been eating rock snails again?” If I remember correctly, they are all at Kathleen’s cabin to celebrate Christmas. I use that line anytime someone farts in my presence.

A: Winter, but not Christmas, and they are reading the Sunday funnies (Blondie, Nancy). That strip appeared in the June 1977 (“I got my job through the…”) issue in the Funny Pages section.
