Is this in reference to something?

Bert is a Vietnam veteran with PTSD.

Edit: For this strip, a WWII Pacific veteran with PTSD is more apropos.

I was moreso thinking he's just crazy because he lives with Ernie but honestly yours feels more in character

Makes sense, I thought it was a reference to a specific book or something

Could be a Back to the Future reference, too, now that I think about it. Doc Brown thought of the Flux Capacitor on November 5, 1955.
