OK, now I KNOW we’d be fast friends if we lived closer to each other! Anyone that can work a RAM reference into a strip, is awesome in my book. And now, back to my EPIC manual…
(I love that album. “Smile Away” always gets me in a good mood)
Late, but here’s a poser – did you ever see the video that went with Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey when it first came out? (You were probably a decade or two too young, I suspect.) It was a little unusual inasmuch as it was long, long before music videos were a thing and this was in the UK, too.
IIRC it used Yellow Submarine characters exactly like those in the movie but these scenes were drawn specifically for the song – I remember – one of the recurrent motifs displayed when the chorus “Hands Across the Water” was playing was that you’d see The Dreadful Flying Glove tracing an arc across the screen leaving a rainbow as it did so. (A benevolent Dreadful Flying Glove?)
Nearest thing you can find to it at all, now, is something by The McCartney Project on Youtube.

You’re happy because it’s weekend eve. Time to celebrate with some chocolate cake and some fast food take-out.
