    At least he’s optimistic.

    If his eyes get any closer to that cup, he’ll go from optomistically to misty optically.

    Commenters ten years ago covered the bases for further sources of humor. Well done, y’all.

    Now, Clara, honestly, you knew he was like this when you married him and you did so anyway. You can’t expect him to behave any better, or at least differently, after XX years of marriage.

    Nobody cares about the tree! If the elephant has tuskaloosa, what about the tree’s trunk? Truncated? Trunckotomized? Donald Trunk?

    And is Cleo actually sporting a smirk in panel 4? Can it be that she enjoys Claude’s little jokes?

    That was awful. Clara’s going to pop him one of these days and give him a toothaloosa.

    Clara wishes she had a large glass of water to cool him off.

    Hmmm…. was the zoo in Birmingham, or maybe Montgomery…. and now the elephant’s Tuscaloosa?

    The pun has loose roots, like those tusks… and that poor tree.

     

    Somehow, down the twisted path my brain seems to follow, I just thought of the song I used to sing when I was a wee lass…

    couldn’t carry a tune then, either…. but I later figured out that wasn’t the only reason people laughed…

    when I warbled “going to Alabama with a BandAid on my knee…”

     

    Couple replies for yesterday…

    Montana Lady…. Nighthawks may have been accused (and consider the source) of supplying ersatz coffee to Claude in a puzzle strip…

    but rest assured, that has nothing to do with the Tiki, or our special blend of genuine high mountain Turdmunkestani beans… grown and directly imported by monkeys.

    That does make you feel better… right?

    BTW it goes great with chocolate chip cookies…. hint hint….

     

    And PerkyC…

    The Bliss strip was just a map showing where sales of purple … or purplie… eyeshadow are most concentrated… therefore presumably, it’ is most worn.

    Like Florida, LA, and Las Vegas.

    So in MY version, I added Cleveland… I think Mr. Bliss hadn’t factored in Cleo and Company Productions.

    Did everyone start counting the differences between panels one and four?
