Balloons

Darren sends this in: “Just don’t get it. Are those giant alligators and it’s a Godzilla sort of reference (but the bricks look normal). Or are they regular alligators and the balloons have some sort of tiny people in them? I feel like it’s supposed to be a “reverse”, but I’m not aware of toy balloons with alligators being common.”

    That is clearly a live person in the balloon the little reptile (crocodilian? Godzilla?) is buying. I think it’s just a play on the familiar trope of a man selling balloons to children. Only, when the buyers are Godzilla types, naturally there are people in the balloons. As for the bricks, I think that is just an artifact of the cartoonist’s style and not a guide to size.

    Whamond turns up quite a bit in CIDUs. Perhaps the ‘reality check’ is that this feature just isn’t funny.
