    I often think that a lot of these groups should have their membership reduced by 50 percent. What do you think, folks—want to halve sects?

    Rat is also in trouble for vandalizing the neighborhood bicycles. He has been caught on home security cameras taking a file to the pedals which snap off unexpectedly.

    The police has a warrant to arrest him for pedal-filing.

    This time the pun was actually kind of funny, and Stephan has created quite a lot of genuinely funny or profound comic strips as well, so I can stand that he resorts to puns when he is out of ideas for the day.

    Let’s see if I can end with all the puns ;D if you believe in a god that it’s different than you, you’re heterosectual. If it’s like you, made in your own image… or viceversa…, you’re homosectual. If you belong to more than one sect you’re bisectual and if you change from one sect to another you’re transectual. If you belong to a sect and show yourself in public like belonging to another, you’re a crossdresser! ;P If you abuse sects, you end up orgasnizing rallies and ejaculating dogmas!!

    Hey – I love Pastis and he is one of the most beloved cartoonists on GoComics. Having said that, I’m shocked that almost 300 (as of 9 AM) people actually liked today’s cartoon! Do you want to encourage him to do more off-color puns? Perhaps he had a looming deadline when he created this one…

    I offend all of the Sects (especially the more traditional ones) because I can clearly see where they have made serious misconceptions that go against their fundamental beliefs.

    When you start the sect and you’re all alone, only dirt and sediment pile up, you amass turbation. With another, it’s a couple sect. With three you can delegate the administration of the sect, it becomes a manage à trois. With four, it’s enough for a choir, so it’s a two couples singing sect. If that attracts another, it’s two couples singing with a lookie-loo. It takes six to get your sect orgy-anized :D
