Bad reactions to offensive words? “Pearls Before Swine” is known to do that sometimes. But it’s the puns that are deadly.

Bill in a dress!

Knackered? Was it knackered?

Are you saying you want us to print more offensive words?

Yes. It’s the most excited I’ve ever seen her.

Offensensitivity. Pillsbury Pharmaceuticals should make a pill for that.

No one has ever died from being offended.

It’s Bill the cat in drag !

Yez shoulda seen her b’fore she read them comics….

Who is that typing?

So that is how it all started.

Only one word? I think some people are just offended because they want to be offended.

I knew a woman who was so offended by the word “moist” that she always over-baked her cakes. bah-dum-tsss.

Kinda like the folks that want to ban books.

She’s had a very sheltered life

Related to Bill the cat?

Picayune, any Yune…

( ͡   ͚ ͚ʖ ͡  )

AS others have noted — apparently Bill went Trans…

We need more depictions of normal people in comics again

1988 we had delicate snowflakes, who know.

I thought that was meant to be Bill in drag….

This is “after”. Imagine what she must’ve looked like “before”!

Some people want to over react because they feel that in that way, they are somehow validated.

Aaaaaahhhhhh!! Karens of yesteryears!

So what was the word?

Oh wait: was it “s p i c e s”?

snugglebunnies?

Looks like a job for Bill the Cat…Ack!

I thought Bill was a cat?

This is clearly an homage to George Booth of the New Yorker magazine.

She did not take that in it’s intended spirit.

Was it “osculation”? That’s just pretentious, not offensive.
