In addition to being funny, this one led me to look into the origin of “falling off the wagon”. I found a good explanation at http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/37132/origin-of-the-idiom-falling-off-the-wagon
Me too, reading Rubes in my local paper a couple of times a week I would go back to re-read a couple of times and still not get it. Now I can go to gocomics and read other readers remarks. Since this is the only strip I have to do that I think it says something about Leigh Rubin’s talent/thought process on his strip
