I wonder if Pastis is moonlighting for those insurance ads such as the one where the couple likes their new house but they have Aunts, etc. They’re really REALLY bad…
Well, come trump, Pandemic, Disputed Elections, and all the OTHER disasters in 2020, we can ALWAYS be assured that Pastis will be living down to his usual standards of lousy puns…which everyone secretly likes!
(Come on… admit it…you really DO like it when he fires off a real groaner!)
On a random and unimportant side note, Goat always has that teabag tag hanging out of his cup. I’m more a coffee than a tea drinker, but when I do make tea, I leave the bag in for five minutes and then throw it away. Either we always see Goat while his tea is still steeping, or he leaves the bag in there while he drinks it. But maybe Pastis wants to make it clear that it’s not coffee.
I think the Angry Villagers with Torches and Pitchforks Association, Ltd., should beat the Father of Wit over the head with a huge racket until he begs forgiveness for his elderly puns!

You’re a jerk because you’re suppose to do that kind of work during the day.

Do not feel bad, Stephan. You’re half right.

If he builds a racket like that every night he could be the official supplier of the Titans of Greek mythology .

He shouldn’t be making a racket at night.
That isn’t where the net profit is.

They’re called ‘Dad Jokes’, because Mom won’t let us repeat the jokes we hear at the club.

I sometimes tell “dad jokes,” even though I’m not a father.
I guess that makes me a faux pa.

From this joke I think Pastis must have a step child.

For this great-grandfather hopeful too. And, I suspect Pig knows where the racket’s string came from, back in the day.
