    Obviously, The Beatles weren’t thinking of Stephan when they wrote that song.

    You know, PBS would be funnier if they stopped resorting to puns… the occasional one is funny, but not a whole franchise of them.

    Oh, c’mon, Rat. You know you like it. Just because Cartoon-Boy pays you to be the Heel in the PBS franchise doesn’t mean you can’t lighten up once in a while. Today’s wordplay was pretty decent, for Cartoon-Boy….

    I never see the pun coming as i do not look for it. I just love the punch lines when they comes. This one really made me laugh, I mean “furrowy” that takes imagination (y)

    When goat mentioned problems hitting the high notes I figured someone (Rat) would help him reach them by hitting him in the oompa-loompas.

    I had intended to curse Cartoon-Boy for defiling the Great Lennon, but after reading the responses I can see that it would only have led to a cry of “ONO!”

    What is Rat’s problem? Treble? Furrowy? This is a high-brow joke.

    I actually was thinking, partway through this strip, how is Stephan going to get Goat to say: ‘nobody knows the TREBLES I’ve seen’! Nice curveball!
