One of Hector Fenwick's irritating non sequitur questions to the Copper-Colored Cupids involved him asking “why that sorcerer want[ed] to eat the… the blue guys, in that cartoon”, given that, having never successfully caught one before, he had no means of knowing whether they tasted good or not.

Behind the scenes
This is evidently an allusion to the 1981-1989 The Smurfs cartoon series. Although the sorcerer Gargamel was introduced in the original Smurfs comics as wanting to use the Smurfs as an ingredient in a ritual to create a Philosopher's Stone, this was inconsistently simplified in the spin-off cartoons to him simply wanting to eat a Smurf directly, thus introducing the plot hole Fenwick underlines. One of Hector Fenwick's irritating non sequitur questions to the Copper-Colored Cupids involved him asking “why that sorcerer want[ed] to eat the… the blue guys, in that cartoon”, given that, having never successfully caught one before, he had no means of knowing whether they tasted good or not.
