MARK TIME:

A space-adventurer from the Circum-Solar Federation, serialized by the FT in their "Dear Friends" album, and also a ride in the FUTURE FAIR. His side-kick is BOB BUNNY.

MEMORY:

See DOCTOR MEMORY!

MOUSE:

Deacon E. L. Mouse, one of the characters in DWARF, serving under pastor Rod Flash. He was apparently named after a pet beetle that Phil AUSTIN had of the same name.

MUDHEAD:

PORGIE TIREBITER's friend in the movies. Motivated by Jughead and Archie, and by Henry Aldrich, the old radio show. Speculation: Starting with the second film, Henry's pal was a certain "Dizzy" Stevens. The connection between Dizzy and Jughead is via baseball: "Dizzy" Dean was a renowned pitcher, and "Mudhead" was one of the nicknames of an early black baseball great. This may also be a reference to the Zuni mudheads.

MALMBORG:

MST3K:

Mystery Science Theatre 3000. A TV series on the Comedy Channel which often makes references to obscure Firesign Theatre phrases, including loose shoes, SHOES for industry, hi i'm joe beets, dear friends, sit in a tree and learn to play the flute, as well as the GOLDEN HINDE. Hal Broome writes: This time on Mystery Science Theater 3000; the "experiment" was a Jack Palance stinker called THE OUTLAW, and the robot's line was: "Don't crush that DWARF, hand me the pliers". There was sort of an albino-type dwarf ("a negative of Herche V.") which received this line. The whole movie seemed an Italian rip-off of the GOR series (a feminist S.F. series -- NOT!).
