So the Mashed Potato was a dance craze in 1962, meaning that if William were seeking to learn it as, say, a sixteen year old when it was first popular, he’d be about fifty years old in 1996.
While that does seem a bit old even for someone with a child about to head for college, there’s a high chance it’s actually because JB is, as part of the homage to the sitcoms and cartoon series of the era, following in their footsteps by writing the parents in the comic as being similar to the parents of the hypothetical fully grown adult author writing in the nineties.
ok, the thing I’d really like to know is who’d be the voice cast for the cast of the comic?
For some reason, I keep imagining William as a Harry Shearer (so… Ned Flanders)

Why am I now imagining Tina with a southern accent?

Now, Will, forget about that silly dance and please your woman. 😍
Way to end this storyline.

“The Mashed Potato” DEFINITELY sounds like something from the ’60s or ’70s (how old are these two again?)
