    These are other characters Arthur has written about. Suffice it to say, they're mayflies, they're immortal, and there are four of them.
    (Actually this episode comes closer to being an origin for them than any
    I've ever seen.)

    I guess the strip referenced The Highlander Movie
    and my post referenced the TV show Eight is Enough...

    I guess I never realized "There Can Be Only One!" would be a cult
    reference. I actually played some Highlander games at conventions, but
    somehow there was never actually only one.

    referrencing something else by it being "may"flies? And 4?
