I think cartoonists have an innate need to tell outrageous puns. They don’t like to do it themselves because of the reactions they would have to endure. So, they have their characters do it for them. Plus, they get a much wider audience! :D
I used this strip on my, soon to be, wife many many moons ago when it first came out. She did not think it was funny. I laughed – oh and she didn’t throw a waffle iron at me which was nice.
I love Snoopy’s inventive writings. A favorite begins: “Edith wouldn’t marry him because he was too fat.” “Why don’t you go on a diet,” his friend said. “You can’t have your cake and Edith too.” The last cel shows Snoopy smiling and saying “It’s exciting when you’ve written something that you know is good.”

Sounds like the husband won’t be going on his business trips for a while.

Ouch! That must’ve left quite a mark. Or maybe his face fell off?

It’s been a long time since I’ve laughed out loud at a Peanuts cartoon but this one got me…

Where the bad puns in ‘Pearls Before Swine’ were inspired, maybe? This one went over just as well as those.

Not sure why, but that one made me laugh out loud for a very long time. Don’t tell my husband.

And after hitting him, her stuck waffle fell out of the waffle iron and onto her plate.

I thought the name was sweet. I’m weird. Plus, why hurt a perfectly good waffle iron?

When you get hit by a waffle iron it leaves a very distinctive imprint. I should know.

I think a key element in any relationship is being able to enjoy your partner’s sense of humor … I’m lucky my wife would find that hilarious too. :-)

if you leave the wife with reluctance you will get reluctance from your wife. snoopy seems to be writing no fiction.
