    I didn’t know there was any morale to be destroyed.

    Actually, this one’s kind of pathetic, Cartoon Boy. You are just going to have to work harder if you’re going to succeed in destroying everyone’s morale…

    I think Rat is wrong. Neighbor bob and his wife didn’t get a goose, he goosed his wife.

    OK, I was thinking this was heading to something about giving her a goose, but that might have been too much for the comics censor.

    I’ll bet Pastis kills at parties. Seriously, I think people die.

    Pointspread…yeah, I don’t mind getting in a few barbs, myself…. even if they’re pointless.

    I would have advised rat not to kill the goose that laid the golden egg; except Pastis isn’t a goose, and gold doesn’t smell like that.

    So Frank’s frankness has led to candid candor. Now if Frank’s wife’s name is Candy, then Candy’s goose can claim creating calming creature comforts.You gotta love Candy.

    It’s all part of the Pastis plot to pun people pitilessly into prostration.

    cartoon boy slipped a lot this time … and that is saying a lot as my motto has been the lousier the pun the better … this is not up to par …

    Nothing to do with the wordplay but just curious as I’ve seen this before on Pearls. Is saying ‘gotten’ a local thing? The rest of the English speaking world would say ‘Bob and his wife have got a goose’ if they are suggesting they have had one for some time and they may say ‘Bob and his wife have now (or just) got a goose’ if they mean to suggest it was recently purchased. Gotten?

    Who’s Frank? And maybe he’s the problem in Neighbor Bob’s marriage. Just saying.

    If I were making a goose joke, it would be about a man who can’t keep his hands off a woman because he likes the way she looks; what’s good for a gander is good for a goose.

    I guess what it comes down to is this strip’s humor comes to us like puns through a goose. Keep it up, Steph!

    If no one else dare say it, I will. Neighbor Bob and his wife are weird!I feel sorry for poor Goat, having to mouth such sub-standard dialogue.Cartoon-Boy, if you don’t straighten out and fly right, your goose is cooked!

    as we used to sing at camp “tiptoe through the ducky-doo, tiptoe…” i know, but somehow, singing the same bit with goose never caught on, even if it was more accurate
