I remember when my kids were small, occasionally watching the Garfield
cartoons on Saturday morning TV. I can't remember what exactly the
episode I was watching had to do with, but there was a scene where
somebody found a horse's head in his/her bed. I'm sure the kids didn't
get the allusion. I'm sure the writers kept their sanity by this kind
of playing...
Relatedly, I've been in a class where students first learned that the
Ninjaturtles were named after real artists. I wonder if they ever
looked at Raphael's or Donatello's paintings, for instance, without
seeing a turtle in a mask first.
