    It had to happen. His own characters have turned on him!

    Watch for “Revenge of the Punned” at a theater near you. AKA as “Stephan Finally Gets His”

    Definitely not funny. Stephan Pastis should get Alfred Hitchcocked here.

    Stephan definitely deserves a “Time Out” for this stinker.

    And notice that even Larry is taking part in this intervention. How low have you fallen, Stephan, when even a too-stupid-to-live crocodile has a problem with the puns?

    Larry doesn’t know anything about puns — he just thought there might be beer.

    Punitive measures must be taken. I say force Toon Boy to include twice as many wordplay inversions in his strips. He’s not punning hard enough!

    Well like I said last week, its rock bottom when Larry gets involved and there he is. Im surprised Lil Guard Duck doesnt have a bazooka out.

    This sort of reminds me of the time Hollywood wanted to make a movie about the early days of rock and roll. They wanted to put Mick Jagger in the lead, but in the end, they couldn’t do it.

    No one wanted to cast the first Stone.

    Thank goodness the cast is finally intervening! (No attempted puns here about stoning the first cast, etc.). You know it’s really serious when you appreciate one of Cartoon-Boy’s strips for the art work!

    see, the problem with a strip like this, you can’t print it out and show it to people.anybody you’d show it to has either no knowledge of any of those characters so they wouldn’t get it, or they’ve read it already!

    This is one of my 3 favourite strips. The other two are Doonesbury and Arlo and Janis. So all this crapping on Stephen, that’s all part of the game? Right?

    You think Stephen has poor punmanship? Back in the fifties and sixties, there was a gentleman named Bennett Cerf. He was the founder and a publisher of a book publishing company named Random House. He was also a big punster. Example Four ghosts were playing cards. There was a knock on the door. One of the ghosts said, who is it? Rigor Mortis. May I set in? From Bennett Cerf’s Treasury of Atrocious Puns. And, that’s how I learned to love puns. I think that I have good punmanship.

    Reminds me of the tragedy when a falcon flew over a rock concert, ending the lives of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

    Wait for it …

    Killing two Stones with one bird.
