It's meant to be a send up of the Superman/Clark Kent thin disguise joke. (Could Lois and everyone else really not tell?) It's funny when Wallace says "It's you!?" incredulously when he makes the connection.

And I think that's about all that can really be said about that. Except to go out and see Curse of the Were-Rabbit today!

I didn't bother to read or even notice the byline.

I got to the end, and thought to myself: 'What an idiotic post!'

And then I thought to myself, 'Was that Mudede?' and scrolled back up to check myself. Sure enough.

Your consistency is consistent.

Interestingly, the TV series, Lois and Clark, probably came the closest to using just the glasses alone as Clark Kent's disguise, ala, Feathers McGraw. In that series, Lois Lane (played by Teri Hatcher) could not recognize that Superman was Clark Kent, but later instantly recognized Clark Kent in a full-blown disguise complete with silly hat and fake beard, even though Clark Kent looked, acted, and sounded exactly like Superman in every way.

It's Nick Park, he's the genius behind it.

Ah, I remember about 10 years ago, when the new Wallace and Gromit episode was the highlight of Christmas T.V. These are true masterpieces. The episode this is from, 'The Wrong Trousers', may have been the best of the three.

On the other hand, maybe Elmer is attracted to cross-dressers to such a degree that he ignores species. It could be either/ or.
