For those who don’t get it::1. There was once a novelty song called “Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavor on the Bedpost Overnight?”:2. Stephan Pastis, who writes the comic strip “Pearls Before Swine,” is notorious for using puns. Check out yesterday’s strip for a sample.

I did not see a comment about Pastis getting mad, nor did I see it in the comic. Am I missing something?

I have to admit I enjoy these meta-jokes. Pearls is one my my favorite strips, although Her Maj is more diverse and at a higher intellectual level.

It was Asimov who said "The beauty of a pun is in the “Oy!” of the beholder"
