Is this what Steely Dan were talking about, "Shine up the battle apple" ?

    They’re not ‘tough guy’ gangs so instead of knives they’re using tomatoes to settle the dispute.

    Absolutely, and I would add that the whole thing is silly on purpose.

    The names of the gangs, a tomato fight, their hands being tied together for a tomato fight. Totally ridiculous! Even the guy wearing a jacket that says “Parakeets” is funny.

    This kind of comic is my favorite type of Far Side because of how silly they are.
