Yep. Groucho said something like this in "Duck Soup" (!) -- that's the
one where he plays one Rufus T. Firefly who all of a sudden is appointed
president of Freedonia... One of my all-time favourites.
Actually, Groucho's line is about himself, I think it's something like
"Ya know, I haven't stopped talking since I came here -- I must have
been vaccinated with a phonograph needle".

Dunno. The movie is from 1933. How old is the strip?
