Homer Simpson or Roger Fox?

I paraphrased what I thought was a Homer Simpsons-quote (It's 1999. Shouldn't Martin Landau be on the moon by now?), but another poster said he thought it might be a Foxtrot-quote. I'm not sure myself, but I hear Homer Simpsons when I think that quote? Can anyone help me? Ari

I am a big fan of both Simpsons and Foxtrot, which is why I became unsure whether I mixed them up or not. They're both bald, incompetent fathers, although Homer is probably more incompetent. Ari

I assume you mean "shouldn't Martin Landau be on the moon now?". That was Roger Fox in the January 1, 1999 "FoxTrot" strip: Roger and his wife "Andy" are at the breakfast table reading the newspaper. Panel 1 - Roger says "Well, it's 1999"; Andy replies "Yup". Panels 2 and 3 - just sitting there reading. Panel 4 - Roger says "Shouldn't Martin Landau be on the moon now, or something?" (Andy responds "Oh, good - they're fixing that pothole on 3rd street.")

It's on page 150 of "Assorted FoxTrot"; I think it's also near the front of "Think iFruity".

Thank you :) Good to have that out of the brain. It's amazing what little useless things you can get hung up on. ;) Ari
