-A man is watching television. Suddenly his face transforms into Zappa's face. ''("What's this? I'm growing nubs... no, hair!")'' After the transformation ''("Ah, that's more like it")'' Zappa rises from his chair  ''("Now to rise from this consensed form of a "vliegende vette" [[sofa]]")'' and walks to the door.

 ==Collaboration with Frank Zappa==
-In 1976 Kamagurka met Zappa backstage at a concert and showed him a comic strip with empty text balloons. He asked Zappa if he could fill them in. Zappa wrote his own text and the comic was published in the Belgian magazine ''"Humo"'' under the name ''"Zappa in Zoeloeland".'' The cartoon references a few [[Conceptual Continuity]] gags: ''[[Sofa]], [[Arf!]]'' and ''"the diatonic system."'' (See: ''[[Progress?]]'' on ''[[Ahead Of Their Time]]).''

Kamagurka represented the magazine Humo, from whom he drew comics and cartoons, and wanted to interview Zappa. Zappa refused interviews that day, but Kamagurka had made a comic strip with empty text balloons too. He asked Zappa if he could at least fill the speech balloons in. Zappa thought up his own texts, wrote them down and the comic was published in Humo a week later, under the name ''"Zappa in Zoeloeland".'' <ref>https://www.afka.net/Mags/Humo.htm</ref>  The comic strip references a few [[Conceptual Continuity]] gags: ''[[Sofa]], [[Arf!]]'' and ''"the diatonic system."''
