the “When come back bring pie” wasn’t a SDMB only thing, was it? I mean, I know it wasn’t _from_ here, but it was at least locally on other boards famous as well, right? Or am I at a complete loss hoping that maybe someone else somewhere might get it when I say “When come back bring pie!” Nobody has. And nobody’s gotten the joke either. 😃 ---

> [@Zebra](#): > > when come back, bring the name of the comic strip where the pie bit originated from. I read in another thread here on the Dope that “When come back, bring pie” originated with the Flash cartoon [Weebl and Bob.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weebl_and_Bob) [That sounds reasonable.](http://www.weebl.jolt.co.uk/pie.htm) Edit: Curse you, **Raygun99**! My rage for you burns with the intensity of the Springfield tire fire! ---

Dan Piraro thinks that it is a refrence to his work! > **[Bizarro Tribute](http://bizarrocomic.blogspot.com/2009/03/bizarro-tribute.html)** > > It's always nice when other cartoon strips pay tribute to Bizarro. Thanks to John for pointing this out. ---
