    He was killed by bad tea; he didn’t check the expiration date during his Pan tea raid.

    Remember, folks – puns are the lowest form of humor when someone else thinks of them before you do.

    There is a story that a sailor heard a divine voice saying “The Great God Pan is dead”, but that was before Pastis drew this strip.

    This is a family cartoon. Just as well that a demigod of naughty behavior died in just few panels.

    We know the strips are a HERCULEAN effort, ICARUS not like we’re asking Pastis to fly to the sun. He’d probably go APOLLO 13 if he TRIDENT and be POSEIDON himself. For all we know, Stephen must have been KRAKEN for his date with MEDUSA when he wrote this. We got FLEECED and he must have gotten STONED with the EROS of his character.

    The skull is almost as great a touch as taking the camera and filming slowly from south, to east, to north, to west, and to south again, or whatever it’s called.

    I originally thought Pastis would only walk a block or two for a pun, I’m beginning to think he’d fly to the moon. I’m sure there are those who wish he would. Me, I think he’s funny.
