[edit]
  • The gag is that Slapdash is misunderstanding the name of Miami Vice, a cop show very popular at the time. The scruffy-faced man seen onscreen is undoubtedly meant to be Vice star Don Johnson (who incidentally had just voiced Lt. Falcon in the animated G.I. Joe movie a year before this story was published).
