If the humans won't tell us, the animals will.

This post has nothing to do with the name Kelly Welly, or what I think about the name Kelly Welly.
It also has nothing to do with the microscope designed by Moe Howard that looks as though you have an equally likely chance of poking your eyes out with it as you do seeing any microscopic organisms.
Instead, this post focuses on my favorite part of this strip, which is panel two, in which we are introduced to our friend Moose, also known as the narrator who fills us in on the little background details we should probably already know. It is this panel that I cannot read without inevitably hearing a moose-like voice in my head (if a moose could actually speak English, that is), and every time I hear it, it makes me laugh. Moose is not plotting anything. Moose is just letting us know that Mark and Kelly have a history. He's letting us know because he knows very well that we will not go to the trouble of actually looking up who Kelly Welly is, and he's right. Thank you, Moose.
