Audience Trap on today's Alley Oop - 10 April 2020
Parent Trap situation? Oh pleeease! Why is the Ancient Egyptian princess even mentioning that, if she doesn't know about that movie? Why, she doesn't even know what's a movie in the first place. Then what on god's green earth is the meaning of her mentioning "parent trap situation" here? And how is it a "parent trap situation" in the first place? Oh Lord, oh Great Bear God in the skies! I hope Pipe Tobacco will resume his daily reviews before I go irreversibly insane trying to review this insipid inanity.

Okay, now let's try figure out what does this "parent trap situation" mean here :
Since the Ancient Egyptian Princess doesn't know about that movie, does it mean that the princess means it literally and wants to trap her parents? Why'd she want to switch places with Ooola, in that case? Is it so that she can pounce upon her parents from behind and trap them when Ooola has them distracted? That'd be absolutely absurd, just like this silly sitcomic, that is.
Does it mean these two are twins born to the same parents? That's ridiculous, because Ooola is just a lookalike time traveller from another time period. And the princess's parents obviously would know that they didn't have twins. And even if they did, and had lost one of the twin daughters, how'd this be a parent trap situation anyway? Are their parents divorced or estranged or something? If so, then the other twin is supposed to be living with the other parent, no? And the princess's parents would be the king and queen, as if they'd simply loose one of their daughters. This parent trap tripe makes no sense or meaning whatsoever.
This sitcomic is just an audience trap where the poor unsuspecting audience comes to watch Alley Oop's adventures and gets terribly trapped in this terrible truckload of turgid tripe. My apologies if I sounded too harsh, and you are free to refute, but does anything in today's sitcomic strip make any sense to you? If it does, please tell me. For me, it's simply beyond bizarre, and appears like this reference was just forced into the scene for the sole purpose of sounding cool like : "Hey look, I made a cool movie pop culture reference" or something.
All I get from today is that the princess wants to switch places with Ooola and maybe wants to escape the palace and go outside or something while Ooola is playing her inside the palace so that nobody suspects that she's gone. But she'd still be recognisable as the princess unless she goes out in a disguise. But in any case, the "parent trap situation" makes no sense whatsoever to me. Wait, why am I trying to make sense in this senseless sitcomic? Okay I'll shut up now.
