Frazz by Jef Mallett for October 18, 2019

This must be Jef Mallett ptaking revenge on Pastis for all those Jef the Cyclist strips.

For wordplay that egregious, I believe Jef owes Stephan a royalty. Pay up, Cyclist Jef!

Pastisitis!

I think it’s a really really pterrible pun: He’s a Daryl Tactile.

That’s an execrable pun! (The best kind)

Crime and pun ishment.

Just to be pedantic about it, the flying reptiles of the era weren’t dinosaurs.

You should only let your puns out when they’re fully groan.

“Frazz” has got to be about the only strip where sometimes the jokes can only work if you can read the word balloons.

LOL, I had to read it twice!

I couldn’t hear myself in the bathroom after that joke. The pee was silent.

They weren’t dinosaurs, they were flying reptiles . . .

Where’s Rat with a baseball bat when you need him?

Marvelous!

Don’t let Rat see this one! (Pearls before Swine)

What? No bashing by creationists?

Thank Heaven for comics as art. Verbally, this just doesn’t pfly.

This pturbs me,in a good way.Bring in the Bucket ;)

Boom! That’s how you write a punny strip, Pastis.

I was going to ask if Pastis was ghost writing Frazz today. It seems I wasn’t the first one with this thought. Or the second. Or the sixth.

It’s a cartoon, folks. Let’s not dissect it endlessly.

Ptouché!

Don’t try to beat “Pearls Before Swine” at this type of word play and don’t go giving them material either!!

From a way old comic (Casey, maybe):

Ms. Xavier, do all of your kids have names like Ptolemy, Psally, and Psamual?

P’no!

P’yikes!

The “P” is silent! :)

Yes they are Pterasaurs not dinosaurs. Some of them has fuzzy coverings too. Maybe even as colorful as some birds today.

Despite the clear need for one, there’s really no consensus on how to phonetically spell out a Bronx cheer. But I just brought us a little closer, I pthink.

If a pun is the lowest form of humor then a raspberry is the lowest form of a complement. YOU have just earned a raspberry! Let the tongues fly!
