What you might not realize is that this is not a nickname. Years ago, his parents, Mr and Mrs Mike, gave him the first name Moonshine when he was just a few days old. A little off the beaten path, to be sure, but at least he never had to worry about what line of work he should go into.
Probably the worst, unfunny PBS strip of all time!!! Pastis do the kind of strips that made PBS one of the best comics of all time and stop the stupid puns & word play – PLEASE!!!!!

Hey Pastis, you missed one, his still should be made out of steel so it would still be his still steel still.

“Stiletto” and “stalactite” needed to be involved.

I get a catalog and one of the items is a STILL! Each time I get the catalog, they still have the still.

Rat should be still, or perhaps distilled.

A quick search will find dozens of songs with “Still” in the title… run with it, Pastis.

Back in Oklahoma, we don’t make moonshine. What we brew and distill is called “raw corn.”

If a still explodes, is it still called a still? Or is it a not-so-still still?
