    Ever since I heard the name of the location, I’ve been wondering about “Baz” Hoggs. Suspicions confirmed. ?

    This will be a generallee Hazzardous comic that i will Bookemark just for the wonderful allusion!

    For those who don’t get the references, Dukes of Hazzard was a campy, trite eye- and brain-candy fun hour long series set in southern US, where the Duke Brothers and their cousin Daisy and Uncle Jesse constantly helped others, often by outwitting greedy conniving Boss Hogg and his henchmen, who were the small town’s policemen. Boss Hogg was played by the wonderful Sorrell Booke. The Duke boys drove an orange muscle car with the doors welded shut just so they could be filmed sliding across the hood. The car’s name was the General Lee

    I am loving this strip, but i have to ask: how is the abbott’s name pronounced?

      “Hay” perhaps? With the short friar in the background I wonder if he often says “Heigh Abbot!

      Folks, do a search on the comedy team, Abbot and Costello

            Youngster??? They were old before I was born, I only know them from daytime TV when I was a kid.

            I’m 53.

            To put this in perspective, all their movies are black and white. Which makes them older than The Wizard of Oz!!!

      they were cousins, not brothers and this is the show that brought short short denim cut offs into popularity and the term "Daisy Dukes" for the character who wore them all the time.

      The General Lee was a 69 Dodge Charger, and had the doors welded shut because that is how they built Nascar racecars. Also, that show was single handedly responsible for the current shortage of 68 and 69 Chargers, because of how many they destroyed while filming the episodes.

        Nope, Barons could appoint a Reeve in their own Barony.

        Seeing a Reeve is a chief magistrate and/or official supervising a landowner’s estate (in this case looking after the Barony while the Baron is occupied at the Abbey).

          Who was in room 1?
          Right.
          Wright?
          No, Hu.
          What is the name of the suspect in room1?
          No, Wat is the name of the suspect in room 2.
          I DON’T KNOW!
          Ida Gno is in room 3.

          A show that started in 2001 may be a bit after the "growing up" years of many of the folks around these parts, Sparrow. Heck, in 2001, my stepdaughter was starting college, if that’s any indication.

            Such an important distinction between "growing up" and "being grown up," indeed. 🙂 C.S. Lewis put it so aptly in his comments about outgrowing the need to seem "very grown up," didn’t he? May we never be "grown up," but may we ever be growing.

            My point was simply that it’s rather understandable, I think, that not everyone here’s of the right generation to have (necessarily) been watching Nickelodeon in 2001. Generational touchstones, however important to their generation, are still *generational* touchstones…and they change, from generation to generation.

    Instead of Baron Baz of Hoggs, you should have named him Count Stello. Then the Duke would be standing in the presence of Abbott and Count Stello. lol
