The [latest Wonderella strip](http://nonadventures.com/2014/05/10/love-getaway/) just is making me smile from ear to ear. That is all. Aaah, nostalgia… Now I’m off to watch B-52s music videos. ---

Heh. I forgot about the strip, and missed the past few weeks. Thanks for the reminder. I wonder what people who don’t get it think…especially with the lobster at the end. Major non-sequitor, if you don’t get the context. ---

Context: A group known as the B-52’s had a hit song with _[Love Shack](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SOryJvTAGs)_. Their other big hit was _Rock Lobster_. Many of the lines in this strip reference _Love Shack_. ---

Man, that supervillain was right about the 80s nostalgia thing… ---

Many of the lines in this strip reference _Love Shack_. and a line from “Rock Lobster” goes: “It wasn’t a rock… …it was a Rock Lobster!!!” which explains the ending. ---

Funny thing is before the explicit Love Shack mention, at the “funky little shack” reference I immediately thought about [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0hwTrNkJCg) instead. ---

Seems to me that Benedict Cumberbatch should play Fred Schneider in the **B-52s** biopic. Amy Adams as Kate Pierson, and Adele as Cindy Wilson. Maybe Olly Murs as Keith Strickland? ---
