I’ve read every reply. Still don’t get it. I don’t think “repelling” vs “rappelling” is the key. And EVERYBODY knows what “rappelling” is, unless you are Norwegian or something. So it isn’t a dictionary look-up test. Perhaps we are part of a great experiment to see how many people write in and question what the heck the comic is about? Could that be Mr. Pastis’ goal?
