Not to make light of the protagonist, but this reminds me of a Lil Abner comic, in which, if memory serves, Pappy sees a lot of signs saying, cryptically: Are you ready for Betty?" Intrigued by all these, he announces: "I'm ready for Betty!" and then everyone treats him splendidly.

Like Mr. Awuah-Darko?

Spoiler alert, if you can even find that comic ...

many frames later, he finds out that Betty is an undertaker, J. Paul Betty, and he declares that he is not "Ready for Betty."
