What's the reference? I never saw MouseWorks and so I didn't notice it.

I'm not sure I'd like it, though... just as I did not like the 
Flintstone reference... this is 1957, the Flintstone still had to air! 
But besides that... if there is no reference in the original, then there 
must be no reference in the translation, no matter what. Not even the 
Phantom Blot reference later on in the story, there is no such thing in 
the original.

I'm also sorry to see that censorship in the first two pages (about 
hunting). I know that many Italian reprints of this story were just as 
censored (actually, even more), but that's not a good reason. Censorship 
is always wrong, no matter what.
