Yes, PremEx, SOME of us understood the play on words in Catman Do.

But (continuing to be obnoxiously pedantic), the French word "deux" is NOT pronounced like the English word "do." The closest approximation I can think of for the vowel is the vowel sound represented by "ou" in the English word "should." So Catman Doo Doo

.

On the other hand, do I understand correctly that the NEXT Catman Do will be....Catman Do Quatre? The French word "quatre" (four) is pronounced, more or less, like the English word "cat!" Of course, there IS a little bit of an unpronounceable French "r" sound at the very end. But for our purposes, this can be conveniently ignored.

So, Catman Do 4 = Catman Do Cat! Wow! That really has a certain cachet!
