The Grizzwells by Bill Schorr for September 24, 2019

Well that was blunt. Pierpoint better watch out for any blunt objects coming his way.

Well, she was asking for it. She just got a different ‘it’ to the one she deserved.

She’s a porkerpine!

Creative and entertaining inferred (and not illogical) definition employed by Schorr. Pierpoint is doing his best to employ conventions in the construction of English words and grammar. I remember being confused as a child that since “consistent” and “inconsistent” meant opposite things then why did “flammable” and “inflammable” mean the same thing. We had learned about prefixes and the prefix “in” negated the root word as did the word “not” and that combining two negatives produced a double negative which negated one another. Schorr has cleverly combined these two language conventions. I wonder if he had similar learning experiences as a child.

Boy wants to die young I see.

Bummmer, babe.

Pierpoint = Hopeless

Do not use words of more than two syllables with Pierpoint, and certainly not one including ‘fat’.

Good one there, Pierpoint! Score one for the little guy.

I think Pierpoint finally got Jasmine’s attention.

Would she kill him?
