reminded

Since being dumped atop the pile of boxes a couple of days ago the shape this binbag full of clothes has assumed has reminded me of something, though I wasn't sure where from. Despite extreme brain-tiredness an incomplete memory of a Viz strip about a boy and his failthful black bin-liner popped up last night. Can't remember what they achieved but I think that's where the general tied-bits-as-ears thing is coming from.
