Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for January 31, 2010
Transcript:
Rat says, "Whatsa matter with you?" Pig says, "I'm trying to watch 'Gone With the Wind,' but it's interrupted by tons of commercials for this guy's used car lot." Rat says, "Oh yeah? that's that Chinese guy, Frank Lee." Pig says, "Yeah, I know. And apparently, he loves the Hoover Dam." Rat says, "Why do you say that?" Pig says, "If you bring in a miniature model of the Hoover Dam, he'll give you a discount on your car. His slogan is, "You bring us a dam... we'll give you a car." Rat says, "That's odd. Can anyone get the discount?" Pig says, "No. He's real big on fighting drug abuse. So if you use drugs, you can't take advantage of the offer. It's even part of his new slogan." Rat says, "Which is what?" Pig says, "'Frank Lee's car lot... high? Don't give a dam.'" Rat says, "First of, it's 'Frankly, my dear,' not 'Frankly Scarlett.'" Stephan says, "Shhh... no one will notice."

I noticed (before reading the last panel) and I’ve never even seen Gone With the Wind. So, yes, Pastis, people will notice.

“Frank Lee” after mentioning Gone with the Wind was enough to give away the essence of the punchline, but yes, I was trying to figure out how Pastis got “my dear” out of “car lot”.
