You fellows have conflated two different AL Capp mythical creatures, the Schmoo and the Kigmy. Comics historian and publisher explains the difference on his website: "Following the overwhelming success of his Shmoo in 1948, cartoonist Al Capp was pressed by fans and merchandise licensees alike to come up with a new creature. In 1949 he invented the Kigmy, a strange, dark, big-nosed creature that loved to be kicked. Naturally the Kigmy ("Kick-Me") was welcomed by humans, who loved nothing more than taking their daily frustrations out on a creature who loved being kicked. Capp later admitted that his inspiration for the Kigmy were the two groups in American society who he felt got "kicked around" the most: blacks and Jews. While the Kigmy did not enjoy the amazing commercial success of the Shmoo, there were nonetheless many kickable inflatables and other Kigmy merchandise produced in 1949." https://www.deniskitchen.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=sk&Screen=PROD&Product_Code=BP_KSP.242

The guys should host an Omnibus episode on the nuclear ship in Baltimore.

How many Luke's from Berlin are there? Or did Ken mix up the names of addenda listeners who recently sent in feedback? I visited the Fulda Gap this year (some of my partner's extended family live on the Thüringen-Bayern border) but I've not been to London to see the old graveyard.

Narcissist! There are two Lukes from Berlin (both "Luke B." actually) in our inbox. Why are you not hanging out with your doppelganger?
