    I thought most people prefer ram or lamb, a dew, and a ding dong for desert.

    This is just A Day in the Life for Stephan, another Hard Day’s Night of trying to come up with a new pun Eight Days A Week. Every Little Thing he does is another attempt at Fixing A Hole in his Magical Mystery Tour of humour. So often it’s a Long And Winding Road from the setup to the punchline, but There’s A Place for this kind of humour. So How Come Stehpan does it? For the Money (That’s What [He] Wants). When Rat says: “I Don’t Want To See You Again”, it’s time to tell him to Run For Your Life and he’d better hope that Rat doesn’t learn that Happiness Is A Warm Gun. Sometimes, Stephan’s puns make me Glad All Over, but other time it’s All Too Much for me to take. Maybe he shoulda been a Paperback Writer instead. At this point, looks like he’ll be Free As A Bird.

    When the Beatles went to India back in the sixties to study meditation. They were accompanied by several other people, including Mia Farrow’s sister. Farrow became so committed to meditation, that she locked herself in her room for three weeks. So the Beatles stood outside of her door and sang:Dear Prudence, won’t you come out to play?

    Steph did ask for it by walking Rat up to the punch-line that way, and then executing the wordplay.

    The Fool on the Hill. Why do I see Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid when looking at the last panel? “I can’t swim.”“What do you mean you can’t swim?”“He(ck), the fall alone will kill you.”“HHHHOOOOOORRRRRRRSSSSSEEEESSS…………..!”

    Next strip should be Rat getting angry because the neighbor, Thomas Morrow, does not take good care of his front lawn. He lets the grass grow and grow until it looks like a jungle. Because after all Tom Morrow never mows.

    You have to hand it to Pastis. He doesn’t Beatle around the bush when he makes his puns.

    Patsis should be thankful that Rat’s punchline wasn’t “Happiness Is a Warm Gun.”

    And I love that song as well.

    In panel two, “Pal from England” should be saying that they’d been mates since they were young kids.

    Last Friday, I came late to a milonga (Argentine Tango) and I heard “She’s Leaving Home” on the staircase. When I got to the third floor there was no one but the DJ in the alternative room. I went into the regular room, changed my shoes and signaled a friend follower to come with me. The song was ending (“bye, bye…”) when I got there, so I asked the D.J. if he’d play the song again. He replied but I didn’t hear him. The woman follower I’d brought in said “He asked if you want to hear the whole tanda.”. “Yes! I do; yes!” And he played “Two of Us”, “I, Me, Mine”, and “She’s Leaving Home”. I’d wanted to dance tango to the Beatles for nearly a decade, I’d have never picked those songs, and it was fantastic dancing to music I knew so intimately and for most of my life. It was the highlight of the year for me.

    Every time I think Patsis can’t possibly come up with a worse pun, he outdoes himself. Today’s is particularly lame. (Not that I would have it any other way)

    Very good, except that in England we pronounce dew as “d’you” not “do”.
