19 | * At some point, nearly every comic strip (and webcomic) has had a ShoutOut to ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}''. See ReferencedBy.{{Peanuts}} for the list. [[http://www.chivian.com/chivian/PeanutsTribute.html Forty comic strips]] did a shout out to ''Peanuts'' in one day. |
20 | |
21 | ---- |
22 | !!Other Works: |
23 | |
24 | * ''ComicStrip/{{Elvie}}'': |
25 | ** A stick figure has a son named "[=Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;--=]", just like in Webcomic/{{XKCD}}. |
26 | ** Elvie remakes a Franchise/SuperMarioBros game, replacing Mario with the Linux mascot Tux. |
27 | ** Elvie tries to sell a Series/DoctorWho scarf. |
28 | ** A recurring setting is the café "Orwell's", established 1984, a reference to Creator/GeorgeOrwell's Literature/NineteenEightyFour. |
29 | * ''ComicStrip/TheFamilyCircus'' author Bil Keane did a few for Disney, where his son [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Keane Glen]] works as an animator. Current ''Family Circus'' artist Jeff Keane did this [[http://i.imgur.com/FBxhi.gif Halloween 2012]] shout-out, which is probably the first (not to mention oddly specific) mention of ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' in newspaper comics. |
30 | * ''ComicStrip/TheFarSide'' |
31 | ** ''Film/{{Psycho}}'' |
32 | *** One strip has a group of boys waiting for their friend to come join them. |
33 | --->''Every Saturday morning, while his playmates patiently waited, little Normy Bates would always take a few extra minutes to yell at his “dog.”'' |
34 | *** One strip has a woman taking a shower. Unlike the film, where a person attacked the woman in the shower, a ''military tank'' breaks through the wall. The caption is ''Psycho III''. |
35 | ** Another strip has the police investigating a brutal bar fight. As the witness recalls; |
36 | -->''"...So [[WesternAnimation/{{Popeye}} this sailor dude]] whips out a can of spinach, this [[ThemeMusicPowerUp crazy music]] starts playing, and... well, just look at this place!"'' |
37 | ** One strip has a lobster about to be put in a pot of boiling water saying "Auntie Em, Auntie Em! There's no place like home! There's no place like home.", a reference to two lines in the film version of ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''. |
38 | ** One strip has a horse walking out of a theater showing ''Film/TheGodfather'' looking terrified and a person with them saying "Get ahold of yourself! It was only a movie, for crying out loud!" This is a reference to the scene in the film where a horse's head is left on Jack Woltz's bed to scare him. |
39 | ** ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'' |
40 | *** One strip has an old crocodile calling an old man (with an eyepatch and a hook for a hand) and saying "Tick-tock" over and over again. This is a reference to ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan'', which has a crocodile that pursues Captain Hook (who has an eyepatch and a hook for a hand). The crocodile has an ticking alarm clock inside of him that always alerts Hook that the crocodile is approaching. |
41 | *** A strip has a woman inside a house saying that she heard a large bird hit the window. Outside, the body of a man wearing a ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan''-style costume is lying below the window. |
42 | ** One strip has a housewife talking to her scientist husband, who has the head of a fly. This is a reference to the film ''Film/TheFly1958'', in which a scientist gains the head of a fly after an accident with a teleportation machine. |
43 | ** One strip had a man talking to a doctor, saying that he's "come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee" (and he does, in fact, have a banjo-shaped protrusion on his knee). This is a reference to the song "Oh Susanna", which has that line in it. |
44 | ** A strip has two gorillas in a zoo after a man falls into their enclosure. One gorilla says to the other "Looks like it's time for the old luggage test." This is a reference to a series of 1980s American Tourister commercials which showed a gorilla doing everything it could to damage one of their suitcases and failing. |
45 | ** One strip showed a housewife telling her husband (who is carrying a flute and has a group of rats behind him) to take the rats down to a lake. This references the story of Literature/ThePiedPiperOfHamelin, who used his musical abilities to get rid of the rats of Hamelin by taking them to a nearby river and drowning them. |
46 | * ''ComicStrip/FoxTrot'' had a moment coming at the end of a (week's worth) discussion by Roger and Andy about the success of the ''ComicStrip/{{Dilbert}}'' comic (which might also count as an extended Shout Out). In the end, they conclude that ''Dilbert'' is likely popular simply based on its own merits, meaning that [[FollowTheLeader emulation of a current success]] isn't a particularly good idea. Jason (drawn in a slightly different style) then runs in, telling his parents to [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes check out the cool stuffed tiger he found]]. |
47 | -->'''Roger:''' Maybe we should include the recent past in that statement, too...\ |
48 | '''Andy:''' I don't know. There's something to be said for nostalgia. |
49 | ** [[SerialEscalation FOUR]] were packed into this strip: |
50 | --->(The characters are sitting at a campfire)\ |
51 | '''Paige:''' I miss [[Series/BeverlyHills90210 Brandon and Dylan]].\ |
52 | '''Peter:''' I miss [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Bart and Homer]].\ |
53 | '''Andy:''' I miss [[Series/GoodMorningAmerica Bryant and Kate]].\ |
54 | '''Jason:''' I miss [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Worf and Data]].\ |
55 | '''Roger:''' (eating the marshmallows) Am I, um, missing something? |
56 | ** The strip made a double reference to ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' and ''Series/GameOfThrones'' in [[http://www.gocomics.com/foxtrot/2012/04/01/ the April 1, 2012, strip]]. |
57 | * ''ComicStrip/GetFuzzy'' |
58 | ** The [[http://community-2.webtv.net/Taimm/THERESATOWELDNA4FR/ tribute to Douglas Adams' death]] (about two-thirds of the way down the page). |
59 | ** Rob's tastes in music, television, sports teams, etc. frequently involve shout outs to same. |
60 | ** There is a member of the Cat Mafia named Whitey. Whitey is the nickname of James Bulger, a former Irish mobster who operated out of the Boston area. |
61 | ** [[http://comics.com/get_fuzzy/2011-05-16/ This strip]] references ''VideoGame/ZeroWing''. |
62 | ** In the [[http://assets.amuniversal.com/3f0e8cb0225d013136f7001dd8b71c47 strip for November 9th, 2013]], Bucky is hit on the head by a tomato thrown at him from behind. He says, "It came from...behind," a reference to a line spoken by a Rebel pilot in ''Film/ANewHope'' during the attack on the Death Star. The pilot said, "They came from... behind," in reference to attacks by Darth Vader and his Imperial TIE fighter wingmen. |
63 | * ''ComicStrip/MadamAndEve'': |
64 | ** Eve sometimes sleeps on her ironing board, in a tribute to Snoopy from ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}''. |
65 | ** [[http://www.madamandeve.co.za/cartoons/me006414.jpg One 2017 Sunday strip]] was named [[Film/MontyPythonsLifeOfBrian "Eskom's Life of Brian Molefe"]], reflecting the then-current corruption scandal with lyrics set to the tune of "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life". |
66 | ** [[http://www.madamandeve.co.za/cartoons/me006462.jpg This strip]] is one to Music/{{Queen}}'s "Bohemian Rhapsody". |
67 | * ''ComicStrip/MotherGooseAndGrimm'' |
68 | ** To ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'': |
69 | *** There's one in a strip during a 2004 story arc where Grimm goes to a veterinarian. While the vet was talking to Mother Goose, he briefly morphs into Garfield but still wears the doctor clothes, prompting Grimm to cry out, "NURSE!" |
70 | *** Another version: |
71 | ---->'''Grimmy''': What are you watching?\ |
72 | '''Mother Goose''': A History Channel show about presidents.\ |
73 | '''Grimmy''': [[ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} When did he grow that ugly beard? Did they serve lasagna at his inauguration? Was Odie his vice president?]]\ |
74 | '''Mother Goose''': Grimm, President Garfield and the cat are two different people. |
75 | ** In the strip for [[http://www.grimmy.com/images/MGG_Archive/MGG_2013/MGG-2013-09-06.gif September 6th 2013]], there's a Siamese cat and Grimm is looking for "the other one", a reference to Disney's ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp'', which featured a pair of sly and nasty Siamese cats. |
76 | ** The strip for [[http://www.grimmy.com/images/MGG_Archive/MGG_2013/MGG-2013-09-18.gif September 18th, 2013]] parodied a Geico commercial which had a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWBhP0EQ1lA camel wandering around an office on Wednesday asking people what day it was so they would say "hump day"]]. |
77 | * ''ComicStrip/PoochCafe'': In the [[http://assets.amuniversal.com/bc1aa880f729013013b2001dd8b71c47 strip for September 11th, 2013]], a cat is wrapped around a postman's face. Poncho says, "Kitty drool. Great defense mechanism. You don't dare remove it or you get cat saliva all over yourself." This is a reference to the film ''Film/{{Alien}}'', in which Kane had an alien facehugger wrapped around his face. After Ash tried to cut it off with a laser, it dripped powerful acid and Parker said, "It's got a wonderful defense mechanism. You don't dare kill it." |
78 | * ''ComicStrip/SabrinaAtSeeCAD'': |
79 | ** ''{{WesternAnimation/Animaniacs}}'' gets a few, with Sabrina watching an episode while procrastinating her homework. Tabitha also copies her dialogue from Mindy as well. |
80 | ** Sabrina's stress paying her tuition at the college bursar mimics Creator/WilliamShatner's over-acting style in ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries''. |
81 | ** The ''{{ComicStrip/Garfield}}'' coffee mug Sabrina uses. |
