Bad boy.  

Some Russian fellers take too much to heart and think that every written thing
ought to be taken literally.  I think there is some literary licence being
taken by the author of that passage.  When I first read it I thought that
someone had discovered the Blues Brothers but, no.

Then there seemed to be an oblique reference to the artwork style (coloured
sequences) in the 'Wizard Of Oz' 1930s film.  I think my latter idea is close.

Cheers,
Paul.
