Transcript:
Goat: Did you see that guy in the paper who wishes Italy could return to the days of the dictator Benito Mussolini? Rat: He's in favor of the man they called 'Il Duce'? Goat: Yeah, and to raise money, he's growing his own fruits and vegetables. Rat: What's the name of the business? Goat: 'Pro-duce produced produce.' Rat: I'm anti-you.

Out of curiosity, are there still some Italians who are pro-Duce?

Shouldn’t he have said antipasti(s)?

Like the Italians, Pastis talks with his hands … and they get him into trouble sometimes.

Problem is, my Italian community pronounces it “Duchay.” So touche’, Stephan, it’s Duce’"!

I see Mussolini when I look at our Il Douche; T. Rump.

As love the puns, especially the more elaborate Sunday puns, but this on was weak. It would have worked if “Il Duce” were pronounced “doos,” but it was “do-chay.”

Sadly, here in Italy there are still many people who are “Pro-Duce”: for instance, since Miss Mussolini was mentioned, she has once answered to someone who had called her “Fascist” by declaring to be “Proud of it”.

This said, there are also a lot of italian people who, on the other side, are proud to be Anti-Fascist, and I humbly count myself in this number. :)

What kind of mind does it take to come up with all of these puns? Brilliant or warped. Probably a little of both, maybe more of one than the other. You choose.

Maybe Pro-Duce can team up with that large antlered animal that stands slightly tilted, you know, “Moose Lean-ey”

People struggling over the pronunciation are not getting it. It’s all visual — “Pro-Duce” is the statement (however you pronounce it) “produce” is the homonym. No need for the pronunciation to match.

After the second frame I had to look away … couldn’t make myself look at the last two frames and see how low Mr. Pastis has sunk.

Pastis does realize it’s pronounced “Du-chay,” right?
