Davy Jones of course refers to he of the idiomatic Locker, the old nautical term for the final resting place of those who die at sea, and not the ex-Monkee.
I considered adding a line by the Head Death in the final panel:
Charity Collector Guy: ... And they demand to see a certain Mr Davy Jones...Although I think this is marginally funnier, I decided it was out of character for the Head Death, who of all people should have a decent knowledge of death-related idioms.
Head Death: THE MONKEE?
Long Tom: Arrr!
Charity Collector Guy: ... And they demand to see a certain Mr Davy Jones...
Head Death: I CAN'T HELP THEM. THE MONKEES' FAME IS DEADER THAN DEAD.
Without wishing ill of him, I find it tragically amusing that perhaps in some afterlife somewhere he is constantly being hassled by the departed spirits of pirates.
