you're full of potassium=? (Cartoon)

[thedaffodils]

I' like you, Tompson.Youre smart, a hard worker. And you're full of potassium

Hi, What is the connotation of "full of potassium" ? I knew potassium is a chemical element. And bananas are full of potassium. Is there any idioms or slang link with bananas about this cartoon?

Thanks!

Bananas give the body a quick boost when a body has suffered extreme physical action leading to water loss and imbalanced blood sugar levels, due to their high level of potassium which is essential to maintain a normal water balance between the cells and body fluids.

The joke lies in "Tompson" being a banana.

I guess that would make Thompson the top banana!!!
