How to Propose Sweeping Changes

January 24, 2022 by Scott Meyer

I looked up the meaning of the antiquated slang phrase twenty-three skidoo recently. When I was a kid, people would throw it around mainly as a joke: making fun of themselves, or someone else, for being out of touch and hopelessly behind the times. I always got the impression it was a popular phrase around the same time as singing into a folded-cardboard megaphone while wearing a sweater with a big letter on it.

Anyway, it turns out twenty-three skidoo means that it’s time to make a hasty exit, so it would also work as a good starting announcement in panel two.

Next time you must flee in a hurry, yell “twenty-three skidoo!” It will mark you as a person with both a fine sense of humor, and a fine sense of history. Also, it might confuse your tormentors enough to give you a tiny head start.
