Are all of these comics super deep cut random references to things? No shade, I enjoy some of them. But I find I don’t get the joke 80% of the time lol.
I’d say many were referencing something that would have been familiar to most readers in the 80s, but perhaps not now, unless you are either old enough to remember, or know a lot of trivia. For example, My Dinner With Andre came out in 1981, and this comic in 1982, so most readers then probably had at least heard of the movie and could get the joke.
