Liberty Bell March, Day 23: Shake your body, turn it out if you can, man! Shake it out, man!

If you watch The Simpsons long enough (and hey, hasn't it been on the air for just that amount of time?), you'll spot the entire world against its background. That goes double for the Simpsons comic book, where panels are often filled with with a Where's Waldo level of detail and number of identifiable pop culture characters. Such as this parade of invading Brits, including John Cleese as the Minister of Silly Walks!
