Are the Thornapples Even Catholic?

On a ship, the first mate is being silenced and subdued by the rest of the crew behind the captain's back. "Mutiny, Mr. Dodson? Don't be ridiculous. Hand-picked the crew myself. All dedicated men I assure you," the captain says.
April 6, 1966
Is this the crew of the Mary Celeste? Or maybe the Carol Deering. If the captain hand-picked his crew then he is a very bad judge of character. All of these people are clearly shady-looking as hell.

Brutus is sitting very slouched in his green chair. "Sigh...Another year, another fat Tuesday...Except lately I've noticed a change...They seem to be getting fatter..." he bemoans(?).
Wh...What's getting fatter? The Tuesdays? The years? I feel you are talking about your body, but where?

I thought today was a rerun because of the copyright date. I guess they put the wrong copyright on today's strip because last year's Shrove Tuesday strip was this.
