Rhino
JMcAndrew sends this in: “So this is some kind of skin care product for rhinoceros? The frog “Jimmy Cool” is a celebrity who has a line of skin care products for animals? Is that the joke?”
Your editor isn’t a regular Heathcliff reader. Is Jimmy Cool a regular character? Do rhinos in nature have some method of oiling their skin? Googling “Rhino Tough” shows several products that play off the toughness of rhinos, but not their baby soft skin.

Boise Ed sends this in: “I can’t recall ever seeing so clever a use of the fourth wall.”
JMcAndrew sends this in: “I’m assuming Curtis is watching the 1977 schlock horror film “The Incredible Melting Man” which might be the most obscure geezer movie I’ve ever seen referenced in a newspaper comic strip.”
Perhaps some relative of cartoonist Ray Billingsley was in this movie. Billingsley was born in 1957, so he would have been 20 when this was made.
