Bullfrogs Take a Hit

Chemgal sends this in: “I feel like I’m going to “get” this Barney and Clyde, but at the moment I don’t. I do get that Grandpa is misunderstanding which “hit” is intended, but is that the whole joke? If so, I guess I should be submitting this as an “OY!” rather than as a CIDU.”

Pavlov? Pavlov? Do I know a Pavlov? That name rings a bell.

The artist looks like “Curnow”, but I can’t tell for sure.
