We've seen him with PJ pants (the "Mrs. Calvin Coolidge" strip), and we've seen him with another shirt (right before his winter coat decimated it).

I still don't. Guess it'd help to know Man on the Moon. I was curious what Ozy and Llewellyn are eating in the strip. Cereal would be appropriate, but it looks more like scrambled eggs or oatmeal or something.+0Okay, NOW I get it. Dang, that took a while.Now I'm never gonna get Man on the Moon out of my head.

"Andy, did you hear about this one?" is a line from "Man on the Moon" by REM. I had to look that up. I was going to guess it was a catch phrase from "The Andy Griffith Show" or maybe "Amos and Andy." Both of which were before Simpson's time, but he's referenced the Marx Brothers before too.%I still don't. Guess it'd help to know Man on the Moon.Okay, NOW I get it.

I knew the reference (it helps to have seen a misheard lyric in which "this one" becomes "the swan") and was glad to see another cleverish O&M title. But does anyone know what exactly the man on the moon has to do with Andy Kaufman? The movie didn't explain it, either.

No, that's not right. "Man on the Moon" is a song about the late comedian Andy Kaufman. The line "Andy did you hear about this one" I think is a reference to the fact that when he was dying, many people thought it was a joke, and I think there are some people who think Kaufman is not dead, but hanging out with Elvis or something like that.="Andy, did you hear about this one?" is a line from "Man on the Moon" by REM.
