Look, I don't want to poo-poo anyone's idea of a good time but my brain can't seem to mesh the phrase "good time" with the act of see-sawing. Maybe that's because I've never see-sawed before. I'm not a fan of heights and it doesn't look fun.
Noah Webster was the dictionary guy.
Daniel Webster was, I'm just going to guess, the Congressman, Secretary of State, and prominent lawyer. I don't know why Brutus can remember a third-tier politician not from his state who died 170 years ago and not the Webster's Dictionary guy.
And why does he say the name? Just say "Get a dictionary, my boy!" We could then end the strip with Wilberforce saying "Gee, Pop, if I don't know how to spell it, how do you expect me to find it in the dictionary?"
