MIKE: So the "'cartoon' for kids" in quotes, you know... misused quotes.
MATT: Oh! There was... some moving company, or something, and it says, like, "We're 'glad you called'" and "glad you called" is in quotes.
Sometimes, The Brothers Chaps will put "unnecessary quotation marks" in their cartoons. This is quite common in Old-Timey toons. Many of these uses are to imply sarcasm or untruthfulness.
