(10,128 posts)9. Is the person in the prow trying
to get their foot bit off by the aligator? In the original, there's a reason Prow Guy is posed like that - he's using his foot to shove an ice floe out of the way. But in the parody - excuse me, the McNaughton version - there's no reason for anyone in the boat to sit like that.
