Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for November 04, 2014

You probably wouldn’t want to eat Pastis either.

Waxy has the least flavor, so it’s Petey’s favorite.

Petey! You just lost several hundreds of ranking in Picky Eaters!!

Petey! She named it. That was a pet, not livestock!

Pastis?

If Pastis wasn’t sour, it would have no flavor at all.

If the Pastis candy was made recently, it might be (free range) chicken flavored.

I wonder whether Waxy was one of those tiny bottles full of sweet liquid, or the false teeth you’d stick in your mouth?

The Candies of the Round Table! Now, one siege is empty!

Pastis? Why, Mr. Thompson, did you do that on purpose?!

The Pastis tastes Punny…

PASTIS! HA!

Definitely not eating the Pastis. Might contain high levels of Croc!

For anyone who doesn’t know:Stephan Pastis is a a cartoonist who does the comic strip Pearls Before Swine. He often uses bad puns in his jokes, which is why people say a Pastis candy might taste bad. The strip is pretty funny, in my opinion. You should check it out!

Pastis (French pronunciation: ​[pa.stis] ; UK /ˈpæstɪs/ or US /pæˈstiːs/) is an anise-flavored liqueur and apéritif from France, typically containing 40–45% ABV (alcohol by volume), although alcohol-free varieties exist.

Let’s hope Alice got the alcohol-free pastis.

Do you suppose Steph knows about the secondary definition?

Pastis! ahahahaha
