Explaining a gag always squeezes the life out of it, but since you asked… “Mooch” has a similar meaning to the word “beg.” When Poncho begs, the cartoonist employs the word “mooch” to indicate that that is what he is doing, since it is a difficult concept to show in the artwork alone. This time, since Poncho isn’t present at the dinner table, he has to mooch by carrier pigeon. Funny now? Sorry….

Note to Chazz & Carmen: while Poncho is tied up outside, close window(s).
