Pluggers

I did some googling after seeing the 'Apologies to Shoe' note at the top of this comic, and apparently this is a reference to another comic called 'Shoe'. The character on the road is Prof. Cosmo Fishhawk from that series.

I used to read “Shoe” everyday in my local newspaper, years ago. I haven’t read it in a good while. I completely forgot Cosmo’s name. I did remember Shoe and Roz, the bird-lady who was the waitress at the treetop diner that all of the characters frequented.
