...plus Farmella herself means her mother spent 648 months pregnant. That's 54 years, assuming no multiple births.

-1 failure to account for advanced biological technology, as evidenced by Clara.

+1 intriguing.

It cannot be a coincidence that Wheatina has 72 daughters, exactly the same number of children that Cassie [wikipedia.org]'s parents have.

Nothing is ever coincidental when it comes to Dragon Tales

Where else do you see 72 virgins referenced?

Comptetive Scrabble [amazon.com].

Or is this a metaphor for Nena [80smusiclyrics.com]?

I've obviously not been drinking enough, if two glasses of over-priced cheap wine will make me spell competitive like that.

Since 9/11/01, all over the place. But that was too easy, so I skipped it. It is more fun to assume that now that you are a full-time cartoonist, you have nothing better to do with your day than watch annoying children's shows on public television.

In fact, if I didn't know you were outsourcing swag distribution, I'd even assume that you sit on your couch and watch Clifford the Big Red Dog on WNET at 9:00AM while packing t-shirts.

I wouldn't respect you any less for that, by the way.

And he speaks with John Ritter's voice, too. How cool is that?
