I am almost sure that the phrase is not to be found in any of the
languages of the world.
As for meaning; the only excert from The Squirrel Cage I have read is
three strips in the first NEMO Annual (Screwball Comics) so I may be
wrong, but it looks as if it means "Can you give me a lift, please" or
something like that.

Note 1: This is my first posting to the net, so I except it will turn
out I did everything wrong...

Note 2: Don't write follow-ups in net.comics only if you intend me to
read them, since we unfortunately don't get net.comics in Europe. Sob!
