Involving the clones of Lupin Madblood

I'd seen the hollandaise pun used before, but this is the shaggiest of the shaggy dogs I've seen using it.

I know a body builder Lothario who exercises by picking up bar belles.

I suppose it might make more sense had I ever previously heard of Lupin Madblood.

In what way is a detailed knowledge of the Narbonics comic strip (wherein you would find Lupin Madblood) necessary to understand the "There's no plate like chrome for the hollandaise" pun that the entire shaggy dog story builds up to?

Oh the punch line, such as it was, was clear enough. But the overall scenario made little sense to me.

It's rather as though one were faced with a similar story set in an aboriginal village where one knew nothing of the inhabitants or their ways. I believe that all stories are better if one knows about their settings.
