M&D's connections with R&G

[Tommy the Tourist]

Ok, I'm only on page 500 of M&D, but I see many parallels between it and R&G
are Dead.  On page 471:

	"He means," Darby hastily puts in, "that he's Mason, and I'm Dixon,
	isn't that right, 'Mason'?"

Of course, M&D is even funnier and richer than R&G, but R&G can be enjoyed all
the way through in the course of an hour or two.

Oh, and another parallel that I've noticed:  I think the characters of the
Profressor and Felipe the Torpedo are parallel with Otto and Ursula from GR.
And I'm glad they're there, because I love those characters.

This post hasn't been very literary, has it.
