Barney & Clyde by Gene Weingarten; Dan Weingarten & David Clark for December 16, 2023

Pain Perdue Pharma?

Horace has gone to the Dark Side

Not so obscure really, that one.

I don’t get it.

I only have good pain.

yuk yuk

touche, touché !

“Unhand my baguette, monsieur!”

This is only a pun in print. So their conversation doesn’t make any sense.

In the second and third panel, Barney has 3 loaves. In the fourth panel, he only has two but Horace isn’t showing to have the other one. Where did it go?

horace is a real pain in le cul…

Steve Martin: "…I’ll go to Paris but let me give you a warning. If you’re going over there— here’s an example: chapeau means hat, œuf means egg.

It’s like those French have a different word for everything."

Today’s Barney & Clyde comic is definitely not punny.

I like the symbolism of Clyde already having eaten half of his baguette.
