The Super Booze was meant to be an alchemical ”potion of inebriation”; I would've called it something like that in a finished strip, but made the text space too small in the sketch panel. I scrapped the strip because, well, the joke seemed kind of lame.

The bedroom junk includes the super-booze apparatus, its inventor's head and the King Kull inspired crown of the assassin's lord – the idea was that the pair made a drunken raid on his castle, got married, and ordered pizza. Not necessarily in that order.

Oliver Hardy walking, refers to a drinking song that every Swede knows. I really cannot think of a suitable English equivalent to replace it with here.

Bernard does end up accidentally married a handful of times during the course of the comic. Chronologically, this being in his compilation book which was released at the same time as Fenix no. 2/2012, this is his third (possibly fourth, actually) wife that we know of, and the first who is not royalty.

In a thread about Bernard's marital escapades a few years later, the consensus on wife #3 was that she'd realize they may be guilty of regicide and wouldn't want to stick around. She probably just flees and leaves her husband sleeping, so it's quite unlikely that their marriage is ever formally annulled.

Colored sketch of wife #3 found on an old hard drive.
