** It's heavily hinted at the boy's parents died and left them either enough inheritance, life insurance money, or both to make them well-cared for.

*** Robert was a Naval Officer his entire life, and their house is nothing compared to the Wunclers or Thugnificents house.

**** Riley calls ''everyone'' gay. And is it that impossible to imagine that someone might not wear glasses on their wedding?s And is it not impossible that he used their wedding photo for reference? I sort of thought thhat those three things were blatantly obvious to everyone.

**** Huey thought Granddad was gay at the age of three. He said it in "Guess Hoes Coming For Dinner" when Granddad was out on a date. Huey said this. Not Riley. Its extremely prevalent when Huey,of all people, thought Granddad was gay at the age of three. Its definitly ambiguous on just who that was in the mural when even Huey(a kid who represses almost all emotion) was shocked to see it. And saying that he looked just liked Robert isn't helping when A.) Robert could have had a son that looked just like him and B.) Robert's past view on himself seem to change with every Flashback. To say that it couldn't be the boys' parents at all is ignoring the fact that the viewer never seen those characters at all and we have no idea what they look like besides the possibility of the mural being them. Is it just so odd that Robert has a picture of his son/daughter getting married in his house?

** It doesn't especially matter who it was on the mural; Robert would feel astonishment at the mural if it was either he and his wife on their wedding day, or his child and spouse (presumptively his son, since he and the boys share a last name and there's no reason to believe that they had a bad marriage or anything) on their wedding day. I personally believe that it was Huey and Riley's parents because of Huey's own level of surprise, but again, who it was is not important; it was about the manifestation of Riley's artistic gift in a way that Robert could not possibly deny that it was Riley who painted it that made the moment so significant.

 

 

* So his name is Colonel H. Stinkmeaner. So... was he actually an Officer in the Army/Air Force/ Marines, or is his first name actually Colonel?

** It must be a nickname or nominal title (he's been blind since he was 15, how was he going to get into the military?). His crew features similar [[Theme Naming]], so it's presumably either just a nickname or a 'gang rank' of some kind.

** The title 'Colonel' is basically Kentucky knighthood. It's bestowed on any Kentucky citizen who the state feels to be exemplary. Dave Thomas, Carol Channing, and Johnny Depp are all colonels.

 

* Why did everyone go crazy in the "Fried Chicken Flu", chicken isn't the only food in the world?

** It was a joke on both the mass hysteria over swine flu, and the huge backlash KFC received a few years ago after Oprah endorsed people to try their new baked chicken and KFC ran out almost instantly.

 

* Where's Caesar in the cartoon?
