Ralph: ... And another thing: never relinquish your TV remote!
Guy: Thanks. You've been very helpful!
Ralph: My pleasure, son! I probably shouldn't wear my fatherly advice outfit in public!
Guy: Excuse me! Can I ask you a question?
As for the “bubble pipe,” I don’t think smoking tobacco is allowed anymore in comic strips because minors read them. Remember Andy Capp used to smoke until the rule was enacted because of complaints. Fagan has to show a bubble, not smoke.
You people that don’t get the bubble pipe amuse me. It’s SUPPOSED to be stupid! Seriously, why do some of you even read the comics if you can’t understand inane humor?

Ok, there’s a LOT of dumb things in this strip that I overlook, but the bubble pipe is beyond eye-rolling stupid.

Yeah—the bubble pipe’s certainly … distinctive.
