Fun Facts

Explanations

• Couscous is a food which consists of grains made from semolina and is traditionally served under a meat or vegetable stew.

Trivia

• This toon is an Easter egg itself, found under "Puppet Style" in Decemberween In July.
• This toon was added to the menu exactly one week after Decemberween In July was released.

Remarks

• The Cheat again misnames Marzipan's guitar Carol as "Carl." He also did so in the email "marzipan."
• When loading, it says "Load it!" instead of "loading..."
• The miscellaneous sweaters say:
  • "Jing"
  • "ho hum"
  • "na na na na"
  • "what shopping??"
  • "fruit cake is gross!" (with a picture of a fruitcake circled and crossed out)
  • "Back"
• One of the yarn balls says "yawn".
• The font on the bag is The Cheat's rendition of Bauhaus93, which is also the font used on Homsar's shirt.
• The sign next to Marzipan at the start says "free concert for couscous." Later on it says "free concert for The Cheat!"

Inside References

• The "free concert" sign is a reference to the "free concert for birds" sign from the email marzipan.
• The sweater saying "Jing" spells it "JiNG" and one says "FRUiTCAKE iS GROSS", yet more instances of Lowercase i's.

Real-World References

• In one scene, "Seasonal Sweat" is written at the bottom of the screen in a font like the band Slayer uses.
• The "Seasonal Sweater Bag" is styled after the "little/medium/big brown bag(s)" that are obtained at Bloomingdale's.

Fast Forward

• The Cheat can be seen knitting again in No Hands On Deck.
• This song appears again in Hooked on Decemberween
