    Thatā€™s probably the most subtle pun Stephan has done this year!

    What? The punchline wasnā€™t ā€œthe best defense is a good offenceā€?

    Proginoskes, No, in this case, I think itā€™s ā€œNo defense is the best offenseā€¦.ā€ Pig had no defense, and that helped Bobā€™s offense a lotā€¦ā€¦..

    Coach Bob is just doing his job: mustering the best offense he can. Of course, playing against Pig really makes his game look betterā€¦.

    Coach Bob should go for the decaf.

    Coach Bobā€™s team should employ Rat ā€“ heā€™s the most offensive character in the strip!

    That dumb Pig canā€™t complain that he wasnā€™t warned.

    If we could still rate strips, Iā€™d give this the lowest, and I love the wordplay strips. To me, the two words donā€™t sound the same at all and thereā€™s no way any coach, from anywhere, no matter how rural, backward, or television-free, would confuse the two. ā€¦ just my opinion.

    ā€œPearlsā€ operates under an unusual legal code.Apparently, a person can ā€“ without fear of arrest, prosecution or even litigation ā€“ walk up to Pig and kick him, club him, or punch him in the face anytime.

    Thatā€™s a 5 yard offense ā€“ punching out the pig-skin . . . ā˜»

    Ouch. This implies that Coach Bob pronounces offense like someone unfamiliar with football. They call it AW-fence, Pastis, not uh-FENCE. Ah well, good effort.

    Does anyone know where Pastis lives so I can knock some sense into him when it comes to really bad puns

    I thought Pig was going to reveal that he thought Bobā€™s back yard was open plan, and his neighbor had frequent bonfires. So Bob took a lot of heat for the lack of a fence..

    Well you canā€™t really blame coach Bob. Heā€™s probably been a croc in previous lives and has anger issues based on being killed so many times. Youā€™d probably take offense too.

    @CorzakAs opposed to our legal code where someone can slit pigā€™s thoat and than cook and eat him.

    @packratjohn:) I really shouldnā€™t lay the hate on a strip I like so much. After all, I didnā€™t actually hear what Pig said. ā€¦Maybe his subconscious did him in with a substitution. (Iā€™m also weakening on the coachā€™s familiarity with certain words.) [grumble, grumbleā€¦]
