   I think Thompson did today’s whole strip just to set up that bad pun. Or as we call it, Stephen Pastis Syndrome.

   Petey’s costumes are the BEST! “I’m a scathing indictment of consumer culture.”

   The year before that, he wore a note pinned to his shirt that read “Boo.”

   If you’re already here, you probably don’t need a sales pitch to buy Children at Play, but I’ll urge it anyway. I got my copy yesterday, and it’s fantastic.

   And oh yeah… YOU CAN’T TIE DOWN A BANJO MAN!

   The is precisely the kind of joke that my dad loved to tell when I was little.

   Come to think of it, he still loves to tell them. There’s just no escaping it.

    Put a lid on it, said dear old dad
    Enough of this arguing he’s just about had
    Put a box over both o’ yer heads
    Before I send you to both of yer beds
    Untill the baby grows up to be a young lad.
