My take on this is that the elder Strumpf, inculcated with the lore of generations of forebears, subscribed to the schools of thought whereby both nutriments and Intellectual stimulation may be externally applied. Thus smashing a copy of "Thus Spake Zarathustra" on his head would have salutary effect without the labor of turning pages. Likewise, dropping a dollop of mashed potatoes on the head relieves the child of having to taste what is being administered.
God Irving! That cracked me up! “Nutriments and intellectual stimulation may be externally applied.” I wish that someone had smacked me in the head with my calculus textbook during my first year of college.
