2023-09-24 18:34:38 +0000 UTCThere’s that scene where Shakes gets punched by a 1950s milk man, who then offers Judy a bunch of dairy products as he hits on her. Does Palookaville also have a milk man subculture? Not enough information to go on but it suggests the city has like neighborhoods for other broad comedy character types.
