Allright, When Kevin made Clerks he threw in the Cousin Walter joke...probably basing it, or at least the name on Walter Flanagan who played four different people in the film.
Then comes Mallrats, and the Real Walt Flanagan won't shut up about how fast his new dog is, and how his dog is just like a human. So Kevin throws an aside comment in there by Jay about how "That bastard's faster than Walt Flanagan's Dog." I'm not sure but I think the line might even be dubbed in from the sound cut and not actually filmed.
So then he decides to hook up the Cousin Walter stories via BRodie.
But at the DIRT MALL, Brodie calls off to an unseen Walt. This unseen Walt, could conceivably be the REAL Walt Flanagan as he may have been at the dirt mall that illustrious day. Unlike the inspired by "Cousin Walter" who died years before sucking his own dick.

Confused? Me Too. Hey at least Alyssa wasn't at Cousin Walter's funeral.
