We’re seeing a combination of a clever concept and skillful exploitation of it. A rare combination in comics.
But I think you guys have used up all the good puns. Don’t know if he can go much further with this.
Nice job, Tim.
Okay people it looks like RayC thinks you’ve used up all the good puns. Now that sounds like a challenge. After some of the great puns I’ve seen on these comic pages I’ll bet by tomorrow there can be at least 2 pages.
so while papa doughnut was busy, lil doughnut was upstairs putting white makeup powder and some sprinkles on her face…but she got tarted….aww good to be sometimes doughnut free :)
They grow up so quickly; it seems like only yesterday that Daddy was singing her to sleep with “Do You Know the Muffin Man.” Now she’s wearing too much sugar and looking to get filled.
ALL RIGHT!!! I could be mean and remind everyone that i wrote that all the GOOD puns were used up… but I have to admit I was wrong and there were still plenty of laughers left. (Maybe “good pun” is an oxymoron.)
DigitalFrog: I knew you would respond to the challenge. My favorite was the “crueller” (i.e. cruller) remark, which was really inspired, but I didn’t get the “long johns” entry. Could you explain?
bmwk12ltc : Thanks for bringing out the challenge. Made my day.
I’m proud to be on the same comment board with all you folks. Don’t stop now!
I’d be proud to be on the same comment board with “all y’all” too, except that I’m so insanely jealous at all your good work.
It could be worse, Dad. She could be wearing a sugar glaze - and the doughnuts I’ve met who do are typically total airheads. At least your powder-covered daughter has some substance to her.
All we need is some of Doctor Toon’s nuclear coffee to dunk her in and we’ll be all set.
Ray C - long johns are the slightly phallic-shaped pastries, somewhat like an elongated eclair, often topped in chocolate or maple (seen them called maple bars in some places) and of course that’s also the term for long insulated underwear.
Just finally got back on after work and I would like to thank you all. I have had a good time laughing at all these. Wish I was as good at puns as you guys. But since I’m not I’ll just appreciate all yours.

Even without the makeup, I’ll bet she is still a real sweetie.

I’ll bet her parents have to go round and round with her all the time on subjects like this.

So when doughnuts die, instead of “meeting their maker”, do they “meet their baker”?
gordrogb Premium Member about 15 years ago
C’mom guys, I’m sure there are DOZENS more doughnut puns.
gordrogb Premium Member about 15 years ago
OK, I’m done.
Digital Frog about 15 years ago
I’ll take that challenge Ray -
As another cartoon father would say, “Dough!”
The daughter probably thinks her dad is crueller than all of her friends’ fathers…
During the winter on Torus, do they wear long johns?

When is a tart not a pastry? When it’s a bagel? Bet Brewster lox in on that!

Brewster and Duncan need more privacy. They should meet at the Maple Bar.

Does that make Duncan her sugar daddy? Anyway, he’s only trying to protect her and not let her look like some French pastry.

More donut puns? My mind glazes over at the thought.

Boy, did she really cake on the sugar. That’s why dad raised the issue.

Excellent replies - this strip always has the funniest comments and today’s was a slam dunk. Thanks to everyone and keep it up.

Her dad’s looking out for her reputation - he just wants her to be holier than the average tart on the street.

Where are the doughnuts’ mouths?
Lawrence Stetz Premium Member about 15 years ago
I’m still waiting for the punchline where Brewster eats the donut man with a cup of coffee. Followed by loud screams coming from the donut man.
