Wonderful cliches, compliments, gags galore! And I’m so glad someone was so offended by this rude cartoon, they tagged it with a “bad pun alert,” even though it’s not really a pun. Yeeehaw!
Okay, here’s the deal. Worms have to play their cards in mid-air because they have no arms. And, yes, Doc, it is tequila, the preferred drink of worms the world over. Sorry I couldn’t make the label more readable - too small. SnowDawn - all my worm friends have teeth - and some wear glasses just to be cool.
And to all - thanks for getting hooked on Birdbrains (I can’t believe you took the bait!). And that IS a bad pun!
OK, Chief Thom Thom I’ll fess up. The tag “bad pun alert” is wholly mine, and I’ve been using it on quite a few strips for quite a while. And for the record, the tag isn’t a sign of offense. :))
You sure it’s not a pun anyway? “Gone fishin’” versus “go fish” in a card game versus “gone fishin’” as an activity in lieu of a card game? If that’s not a pun, then what is it?

Involuntarily I’m sure!! Is this what is known as a card worm?

Sounds like Fred got a rotten deal and got hooked in over his head.
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
Woodeye, he’s really out on a line with this one.

LW - He has a real sinking feeling too.
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
Woodeye–We’d have a sinking feeling too if we had been baited into something like that.

He may be hooked on the sport, but be damned if he is going to worm his way back into this game.
COWBOY7 almost 15 years ago
I think worming his way out of fishing would be of the utmost importance first.
