Rick: Anyway, when I got home, it finally came to me. "Legume" had to be your Uncle Duke! Zonker: This is such a relief, Rick... Now we've just got to get him home! Any suggestions, counselor? Joanie: Well, I suppose I could contact the French police. Zonker: Too messy. We could be tied up in court for years. How about if you negotiate directly for him. Joanie: You mean, buy him? Zonker: Sure! Just say you're looking for a nanny. Joanie: A zombie nanny?

The zombie nanny will probably do a better job of child rearing than these two.

A nanny like Duke could be a good imprinting for dope

Did he really spend a week doing household chores while Joanie was “sick” before he realized, or has the reruns shown the strips in the wrong order again?

Rick and Joanie just want to avoid their parental homework.

I don’t think I’d trust Duke with any children, whether he’s a zombie or not. Look how much he [will] corrupt his own son….

And now we have an answer for those folks who wondered if Rick had met Duke previously, and whether he could/should/would recognize him.

While we was with Duke I said I look forward to see his exemplary poker face shattered by the sudden realization. And finally his poker face was shattered only when he was on the phone, stressed between career and parenting. Makes sense.
