Note the newspost. The banner was found in Jeph's closet.

Oblique Dune reference = cool.
Restating 1/2 the plot of 3 books = uncool.
Let's keep it silly, people.

Dune references are never "cool", dude.

Argument time!
IMHO, any oblique reference to a classic work, especially if it is humorous, stands as cool.
How hard did you laugh when you discovered that Dora was channeling Ctuthulu{sp} in (1754)?
The fact that we as readers have to think about what is presented and then put the pieces together makes the humor better.
Getting spoon-fed entertainment becomes boring very quickly. We enjoy Jeph's wonderful ride because of the intelligence behind the humor and the drama.
Jeph has mastered the techniques of Less-is-more and subtlety as well as sarcasm. He is especially good at implied action.
Enjoy what is presented and what your own mind fills in as the 'missing pieces'.

Hey, people never seem to agree on this. Is the h "humble" or "honest"?
