Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for November 22, 2015
Transcript:
Pig: Hey, Goat, I"d like you to meet my British pal, Mr. Downs. Goat; Hi, how you doing. Downs: Not well, lads. Pig: What's wrong, Downs? Downs: I've been cooking this roast in a wok. But my wife doesn't like it. Goat: Why are you using a wok? Downs: Because that's how my wife's nan used to do it. Goat: What's a nan? Downs: That's what we brits call our grandma. And ever since my wife's nan died years ago, I've been trying to do all the things she used to do for my wife. Goat: To try and replace her nan? Down: Yep: But as many roasts as I cook in this wok. I guess it just doesn't do the trick. Pig: How many roasts must a man wok, downs, before they call him a nan? Rat: The answer, my friend, is blowing up the cartoonist.
I actually didn’t know where he was going until the punchline. Either I’m slipping or Pastis is getting better.
