    Not sure I want to play with this. I dislike doctors.

    Ah, for the innocent days of my childhood, when you could say “erector set” and no-one would giggle…

    John Boehner..If your Boehner is erect for more that 4 hours, consult your lobbyist.

    Oh, maan!

    I wonder if young Pastis is a closet science fiction fan? You find those folks punning like you wouldn’t believe…

    Why do those Viagra commercials come up all the time on kids channels?

    Stephan, you didn’t need to pull your punch. Something that has been constructed can be called an “erection.”

    This is referred to as “blue” humor.

    I design metal buildings. Naturally, the process of getting it up is called “erection”. We send them “erection drawings” as an aid. When they have difficulty, a builder will call our customer service to help them with their “erection problem”..I swear this is all true. We deal with these terms every day and have to be “professional” about it.-Google “PEMB erection” and you will see. Some on the list bill themselves as “Steel Erection Specialists”.

    It would really have been funnier with the unedited quote from the medicine label. .I knew a guy once who owned a company that put up metal buildings. On the door of his truck it said, “STEEL ERECTIONS.”.I remember the days when naive teachers were still setting themselves up by saying things like,“…social intercourse” and reading from a book where it said of the character’s speech, “…,he ejaculated,” and asked students to walk “two abreast.”

    I’m concerned . . . that by requiring all its Comic Censors to wear outlandishly archaic uniforms and “snidely moustache” facial hair . . . Universal Uclick may be in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Those uniforms can’t possibly be required for ‘occupational safety and health’.

    I am surprised Pastis remembers Erector sets.I had so many parts I could build a full scale replica of the Empire State building to 1 to 1 ratio……..how ever the Union shut me down as I was not a paid member of the Union. They don’t take well to scab workers.

    All the way at the end is an erection joke. It’s funny before that, too:.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYodDH4qZQo

    Chris Rock has a funny scene is his movie"I Think I Love my Wife" where he is complaining to his co-worker about the pills he gave him and the wife thinks he is having phone sex. He latter gets the blood drained with a needle in an ambulance.

    Pastis is not proud? Maybe he needs some little blue pills…proudness ensues.

    I remember erector sets. (If you could not consummate marriage any other way, can you use an erector set?)..Yeah, yeah, I know. Blame Stephan for that one. That joke was inevitable. :)

    Personally, I LOVED IT!! No body appreciates a good pun like us sick vastness youngsters! And I’m proud to say I read this strip just for these! And Frank and Ernest.

    One of the better jokes ever is about the soda pop version of the pill, marketed as “Mount’n do”.

    I guess 4 hours of playing with my (huge) erector set is enough.
