Hmm. Not quite getting this… is the joke about that age-old rivalry between police and firemen? Or is it that the fire chief wanted all that stuff for his firemen? Or was it all a fire hazard?
Looking at the date of this strip, it must refer to Nixon’s redesign of White House guards uniforms. Don’t remember the actual uniforms but they were more suited to a royal palace than a democratic institution.
