Love it!! I laughed so long it brought tears to my eyes! My husband had to come it to see what was so funny. I love puns, and I think this is one of the best! Keep them coming.
Please,please Pastis, tell us the secret behind your "pun powers". Is it the brand of beer you drink, or just another devious way to get back at your S.O. Stan, (oops, I mean Staci). :P
I read this last night and didn't get it ... well it was after midnight and about 4 glasses of wine .....this morning sober & awake, I read it again ... Gawd this is punny, great job Pastis.
Stephan, you should release a collection of all your pun strips; not just of the really elaborate ones, like today's, but also the little ones, like where Pig introduces his friend who's "a little hoarse" and Rat prepares to shoot you as a result. You could call it "Pearls Just Wanna Have Pun" (feel free to use that title).
