Description

This cartoon is inspired by "Cyrano de Bergerac," a play by Edmond Rostand in which the title character helps a friend win over the object of his affection. In the comic strip, Mooch climbs the tree outside Shnelly's window while Earl sits below. "Like Cyrano, feed me shome lines to help me woo my Shnelly," Mooch instructs. "Ok," Earl responds. At the window, Mooch recites: "Oh, Shnelly, let's go feral! Let's open this window and our hearts and ... and ...?" Earl says, "Let's run away together." Misunderstanding, Mooch climbs back down and asks Earl, "Where did you want to go?"
