Getting that pun with five panels of buildup is pretty impressive. Reminds me of a joke.
Two men, Nate and Larry, were working on a secret government site. They would take turns alternating between two jobs: operating the forklift to carry in supplies, and guarding the lever for the self-destruct mechanism.
One afternoon, Larry was using the forklift to carry in a few crates, when suddenly a tire blew out and he swerved unpredictably toward his coworker and the self-destruct control. He realized that he didn’t have enough control to steer entirely clear, so he had to choose between running over his friend, or hitting the control panel and blowing up the entire facility. So, he decided:
I want to hear more about the cake incident. Did he singe his whiskers blowing out the candles? That seems too tricky. Did they forget to blow out the candles and cut the cake and he tried to eat a piece with the candle burning? Or did the whole house go up in flames?

Almost as bad as one of Pastis’ puns. Is it legal to keep a wombat as a pet?

Barrington Womble, using the stage name Barry Wom, was the drummer for The Rutles. He’s the Wom.

Wombats are cute, but a little creepy. Not as dangerous as drop bears, though.

First time ever … and no doubt the last time … I’ve agreed with Bucky. Culminating with the Whoosh!
